gradle exclude group from compile

I am getting this duplicate error when building my app:

addJar(...facebookadapter-4.0.3.jar): entry
duplicate entry: com/facebook/ads/AbstractAdListener.class

The reason I am getting this is that my app compiles Facebook modules one belongs to an adapter and one to its original SDK:

compile ('com.ironsource.adapters:facebookadapter:4.0.3@jar') compile 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.27.0' compile 'com.google.ads.mediation:facebook:4.27.0.0'

So as a solution, I am trying to exclude this group from the module which contains the adapter jar compile statement:

compile ('com.ironsource.adapters:facebookadapter:4.0.3@jar') {
    exclude (group: 'com/facebook/ads')
}

But, when I build my app again it fails to state the same reason from the same adapter

Any idea why the classes are not being excluded?

Looks like the exclude block syntax is incorrect. Try

compile ('com.ironsource.adapters:facebookadapter:4.0.3@jar') {
  exclude group: 'com.facebook.ads'
}

Update

So it looks like the facebookadapter contains this class inside. You can not exclude a class from a jar file, exclusion only works on per-dependency level.

If you absolutely need to have this adapter, you can try to exclude facebook ads transitive dependency from all the other dependencies.

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.facebook.ads'
}
