Android Studio 3.0 DexArchiveBuilderException

Question

I'm having this error whilst compiling Instrumentation tests.

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/rafaelruizmunoz/SourceTree/Weather/app/build/intermediates/transforms/desugar/androidTest/debug/1.jar

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Error while dexing org/assertj/core/api/LongPredicateAssert.class

Error:com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24

I tried to enable/disable multiDexEnabled in my build.gradle but nothing helped.

My android of build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.**.weather"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        targetCompatibility 1.8
        sourceCompatibility 1.8
    }
}

Did you check into this? - `Error:com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24` What do you have for your `min-sdk` check `build.gradle` — Dayan, Nov 06 '17 at 12:54
@Sunny Nice answer! I wasn't even aware of their new D8 Compiler - https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/08/next-generation-dex-compiler-now-in.html — Dayan, Nov 06 '17 at 13:13

In gradle.properties add android.enableD8=true This should work.

Please note that there is a known bug when you export and upload the apk to play store with d8 enable. The app will not run on some devices when downloaded from play store.

Well as I understand, problem is not with deploying apk to Play Store, it's rather about resulting app won't run on some devices. This is why they don't recommend publishing app compiled with D8 – user1209216 Nov 06 '17 at 13:33

If you're using guava, tou can try to upgrade it to the latest android-specific build

implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:23.0-android'

This fixed the error for me when I was using the non-android guava build.

With latest android studio 3.2 and gradle, we can also resolve it via

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' in app build.gradle

I have had the same issue and I resolved it by disabling the advanced profiling in run configuration.

Edit Configurations -> app -> Profiling -> Enable advanced profiling (Uncheck this option).

add these line to your gradle:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
