You are getting this error because you a have library module which has the same package name as the app module.

The solution would be to change package name of your library module. You can follow the accepted answer in this SO which describes how to change the package name in android studio.

If this did not work for you , try doing a `./gradle clean` on the android project after you renamed the library. – Bajju Jan 28 '19 at 09:06

In my case It was happening when I try to run older project on new installed Android studio The problem solved by running Build->Clean Project

I solved this error enabling multiDexEnabled in the build.gradle of my app's module:

defaultConfig { 
    ...
    ...
    ...

    multiDexEnabled true
}

Enabling or disabling? – red-devil Nov 05 '19 at 12:42
@red-devil sorry, my fault. It's enabling, so `multiDexEnabled true` (will fix the typo). – Erik Medina Nov 06 '19 at 13:50

Error: Program type already present: somemodule/BuildConfig

Cause

In my case I had a (hidden) circular dependency which Android Studio did not find:

testutils/build.gradle uses implementation project(':somemodule')
somemodule/build.gradle had `androidTestImplementation project(":testutils")

Solution

in my case the second dependency was not neccessary so I removed it

Just goto tools>Flutter>Flutter clean in android studio. It'll resolve the issue. (If you are working with flutter)

I had this problem after an android x upgrade in android studio. To fix this I went to File->Open and opened the android folder within my current flutter project. I was then able to go to Build->Clean Project as suggested by @Seymour Mammadli.

Hopefully this helps someone with the same issue.

I encountered the issue building a Flutter application and I resolved it following the official guide: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex

You simply have to:

0. (Android: Go to Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX
(If you are on a Flutter project, to migrate the module, you have to go to Tools > Flutter > Open for Editing in Android Studio

1. (Both) Modify the module-level build.gradle file to enable multidex and add the multidex library as a dependency, as shown here:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}

2. (non-Flutter) If you do not override the Application class, edit your manifest file to set android:name in the <application> tag as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

2. (Flutter) If you do not override the Application class, edit your manifest file to set android:name in the <application> tag as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name=".App" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

3.(Flutter) Create a custom class under project/android/app/src/main/[java or kotlin folder]/[your/package/appName]
kotlin version: App.kt

package your.package.appName

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import android.content.Context
import androidx.multidex.MultiDex

class App : FlutterApplication() {

    override fun attachBaseContext(base: Context) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base)
        MultiDex.install(this)
    }

}

java version: App.java

package your.package.appName;

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication;
import android.content.Context;
import androidx.multidex.MultiDex;

public class App extends FlutterApplication {

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }

}

4. (Both) Celebrate if you did it!! :D

I got the same error. This type of application is not as generic as we do except. IN my application development I was using the below mentioned dependencies

  youtube_player_flutter: ^6.1.0+7
  webview_flutter: ^0.3.20+2

since youtube_player_flutter internally it makes use of webview_flutter as one of the dependencies. I removed the dependencies webview_flutter and it worked.

try add packageBuildConfig(false) in your library module:

android{
  ...
  packageBuildConfig(false)
}

This should be now, ```buildFeatures { buildConfig = false }```, right? – lovelikelando Feb 23 '21 at 18:51

This issue can also occur if your buildDir is the same for two or more modules in a project.

it is not correct, he must enable the muti dex in the gradle – Alejandro Gonzalez Jul 06 '20 at 15:00
I had this exact issue and I solved it by changing `buildDir` to be unique per module. Enabling multi dex had no impact whatsoever. I'm not saying this will solve OP's issue. I simply added this answer in case it helps other people that come across this thread in the future. – Gaztin Jul 07 '20 at 22:58
