Question

Any android dev around has faced this issue? I really need some help.

I've been dealing with it for hours and I'm not able to find the proper fix.

Started to happen after updated to Android Studio and Gradle Plugin 3.2.0 and Support Libs 28.0.0.

I have already searched for similar questions, and they are related to some Firebase modules, but I do not use any Firebase things in my project.

I also tried excluding the architecture componentes libraries from all my imports (in case some had them as dependencies) but it didn't work either.

build.gradle files

Too long to post them here (sorry)

App
Library

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏼
