Gradle crashes in app:transformDexWithInstantRunSlicesApkForDebug

Question

When building my app the Gradle invocation fails with the following error whilst running the app:transformDexWithInstantRunSlicesApkForDebug task as part of the app assembly. I've no idea why this is happening. How do I fix it?

I'm using Gradle 5.1.1.

@Priyankagb how will adding multidex fix this problem ? i thought multidex was for when we passed up the number of methods we can reference — isJulian00, May 31 '19 at 20:48

This can be fixed by updating to Gradle 5.4

The easiest way to do this is to update the wrapper in use:

Open gradle/gradle-wrapper.properties
Find the line that looks like

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4-all.zip

Change the version to 5.4

Then try running the build again.

Another way to fix this is to disable instant run. Go to File -> Settings -> Instant Run and then uncheck the box (or use preferences for Mac users).

File > Project structure... > Project > Gradle Version: 5.4. That fixed the problem as you suggested it. However, I still had an error about "Unable to delete file..." So I went to manually delete that file. I am not sure if that manual deletion of the file was somehow related to this bug reported in the question, but I was having the same problem and finally with your solution about upgrading to Gradle 5.4, it was fixed for me. Thank you very much James! – Jaime Montoya May 03 '19 at 17:26

i have just disabled Instant run because I can't upgrade Gradle to proposed version – Igor Vuković May 07 '19 at 09:33

Something that's missing from this answer that would be interesting to know: under what circumstances does this error happen in the first place? You mention that updating Gradle fixes it, but why? Presumably it was *not* the case that Gradle versions prior to 5.4 were just outright broken and invariably produced this error whenever they were used. Is the cause, then, an incompatibility between older Gradle versions and new versions of some other dependency? – Mark Amery Jun 18 '19 at 14:04
