        super.onPause()
    }
}

`<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>` 

Help to fix this?

First you have to put multidex in your build gradle

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion(15) 
        targetSdkVersion(28)
        multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1")
}

Then you have 3 ways you pick from 1.) Manifest File

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

2.) Override application class

class MyApplication : MultiDexApplication() {...}

3.) Add Multidex Function to Application Class

class MyApplication : SomeOtherApplication() {

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

In some cases you may have to make modifications to your progaurd as well. You can read more about it here https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex#kts }
