If you use enforceUniquePackageName=false you'll eventually stumble upon this bug -

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'. java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: ... BuildConfig.class

and in order to fix that you'll have to check if some of your dependencies have multidex as a dependency in it and exclude it, for example the Facebook SDK -

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:+') { 
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'multidex' 
    }

You can refer to this Stack Overflow and this Issue Tracker

I added my two bits to the referenced Stack Overflow. – Jonathan Rosenne Aug 11 '17 at 04:33
Just read it, but it's a slightly different problem here, since the library uses the same dependency as the project utilizing the library and hence the duplicate name errors occur. – hsm59 Aug 11 '17 at 04:40

compile project(path: ':backend', configuration: 'android-endpoints')
compile project(':library')

Check included package name

com.google.maps.android.
