about duplicate.zip entry

Question

my error is "Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.

java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\Users\grand\AndroidStudioProjects\IbzChatApp\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\Users\grand.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\support-core-ui-27.1.0.aar\f6b3408b9edbc135d6bc5477270b0eb4\jars\classes.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [classes.jar:android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout$Behavior.class]))"

My project gradle is:

buildscript {

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files

    }

        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

my app gradle is:

BUILD FAILED in 2s

20 actionable tasks: 4 executed, 16 up-to-date

I have been trying all sorts of things to fix this, many of the other answers haven't helped me at all. Please can someone help me.

Answer 1

I had this error and none of the solutions above worked for me. So I deleted my .gradle and build folders in my application directory then went into the app folder and deleted the second build folder, cleaned the project, rebuilt it and the error was gone.

Answer 2

I had same problem.

i updated support dependencies
where:
compile 'com.android.support:xxx:27.0.2'
to:
compile 'com.android.support:xxx:27.1.0'

and

buildToolsVersion '27.0.2'
to:
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

and problem fixed.
