Getting duplicate entry: META-INF/LICENSE with Android Studio 3.0

When trying to run my Android app (after I updated Android Studio to 3.0 and updated some libs as needed), I get:

Error:Execution failed for task ':MyApp:transformClassesWithStackFramesFixerForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.utils.FileCache$FileCreatorException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: META-INF/LICENSE

I already excluded that META-INF/LICENSE file successfully some time ago using solutions from here but since I updated to Android Studio 3.0 I get that error and I don't know how to fix it.

Do you know how I can exclude that file or get rid of this error?

My gradle file is as follows:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

        multiDexEnabled true
    }

    final File signingFile = file("signing.properties")
    if (!signingFile.exists()) {
        throw new RuntimeException("You need your signing properties in a git-ignored file: " + signingFile.getAbsolutePath())
    }
    signingProps.load(new FileInputStream(file(signingFile)))

    signingConfigs {
        release {
            storeFile file(signingProps['storeFile'])
            storePassword signingProps['storePassword']

Although I don't know what was happening exactly, here's what I did to fix the problem.

In my jar files, there was one that included multiple license files named LICENSE, LICENSE_1 and LICENSE_2. It looks like they were mistaken for the same file, for some reason.

I just removed all the LICENSE_* files, leaving only LICENSE, and the problem was gone.

Note: The jar was in the files loaded using compile fileTree(dir: '../libs', include: '*.jar')

Try with 

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst "anyFileWillDo"
        exclude "/META-INF/**"
 }
