Trying to add an ad to our existing Android app, and when compiled I got this:

Cannot fit requested classes in a single dex file. Try supplying a main-dex list.

Looking around, the suggestion is to reduce the play-services size and this is what I have:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:12.0.1' // newly added
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'

I use Android Wear in the code, so when I reduce to:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:12.0.1'

Now I got:

resource style/Theme.AppCompat (...) not found.

I try adding 

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+"

and I got more problems of conflict. What is my best solution? My current fix is to change AppCompat back to Activity. Would appreciate other answers!

You may refer with this thread. Try adding this library in the app gradle: implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'. Then add multiDexEnabled true in the defaultConfig of the app gradle. Also from this documentation, when your app and the libraries it references exceed 65,536 methods, you encounter a build error that indicates your app has reached the limit of the Android build architecture.
