Can't build app with google maps

I integrated Google Maps API into my app and now it takes much more time for first start (even if I don't launch maps) and moreover I can't Build APK with maps. I can simply run it on device but I can't build it in Android Studio.

Dependencies:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'

Here are errors:

Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
:app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug FAILED
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

So, two questions: how to decrease time for first launch and how to build app?

Don't include complete play services libs in gradle file, they consume about 34 k methods from 64k method limit provided for an apk. So there are two solutions.

  1. Add only required libs from play services, i.e. If you want to use maps then add this in your gradle

com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1

  1. Enable multidex support for your app. To do this do the following steps

    android {

defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 21 
targetSdkVersion 25
multiDexEnabled true// add this line
}
}

    And add this as a dependency

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

   android {
                ...
                defaultConfig {
                    ...
                    multiDexEnabled true
                }
            }

Use this in your app build.gradle file it will work.
