Scenario tried:

Enabled multidex true
Added dependency Multidex 2.0.1(android x)
tried cleaning and rebuild project
tried excluding org.jetbrains.kotlin from the major projects.

implementation (project(':ProjectName')){ exclude group:'org.jetbrains.kotlin' ,module:'kotlin-stdlib' }
tried using api , runtimeOnly

Developer guide says it happens due to modules or libraries in your project using different sdk version. Check this for a solution : https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-tips#configure-project-wide-properties — sreedwish k jagan, Nov 27 '19 at 05:49
have you mentioned android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" in your manifest file too? — Sandeep dhiman, Nov 27 '19 at 06:08
make sure that you aren't using two versions of google service. — Bunny, Nov 27 '19 at 06:29

in the app level build.gradle mention:

defaultConfig {
             minSdkVersion 14 //lower than 14 doesn't support multidex
             targetSdkVersion 22

             // Enabling multidex support.
             multiDexEnabled true
         }

Thanks for the response. It is already added in the app gradle.I have also used the Multi dex dependency but still failing to create any of the build debug or signed – PHP Ninja Nov 27 '19 at 05:41

It seems like there are conflict dependencies(causing duplication). That is usually occurs inner used dependencies. Mostly, gradle handles this error by selecting newer version of dependency. Possible solutions;

1- Follow the steps and determine duplicated class location and then exclude duplicated dependencies

2- Manually remove recently added dependencies and determine which causes error then try newer or older version of it.

Yalcin Kuru Thanks it seems to work.But got a new **Error:** Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics – PHP Ninja Nov 27 '19 at 07:51
@Gulshan be sure that you only excluded duplicated class. If that part is okey then you need to be sure you have excluded older version. This class might not be available in old version – Muhammed Yalçın Kuru Nov 27 '19 at 08:17
Yalcin Kuru Below is the amendment I made **Added:** configurations.all { exclude group:"org.jetbrains.kotlin" ,module:"kotlin-stdlib" } Using this excludes the order version of group "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib"and now I included the new version i.e implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" Error: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics – PHP Ninja Nov 27 '19 at 09:05
@Gulshan i think configurations.all excluding all the module but anyway you need it right ? so try implementation('com.example.m:m:1.0') { exclude group: 'org.unwanted', module: 'x } – Muhammed Yalçın Kuru Nov 27 '19 at 11:07
Yalcin Kuru Yes, I think I don't need `configuration.all` And I tried `implementation('com.example.m:m:1.0') { exclude group: 'org.unwanted', module: 'x }` **More detail** `Error: kotlin.StandardKt__SynchronizedKt` This file is present within this `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin`.I tried excuding this from all the implementation having it. But still unable to create the build. – PHP Ninja Nov 28 '19 at 10:39
