android:allowBackup="false" giving error "Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs"

I am working on an application, which was working fine before Android studio and gradle updates. Issue is we have developed the application in a way where some data is stored in DB and Preferences. But now even during complete reinstall of application fetching the OLD local sqlite DB.

Possible cause of this seems: android:allowBackup="true" in Application Tag(Manifest) and solution may lie in android:allowBackup="false" as per the google developer documentation.

But on assigning android:allowBackup="false" is giving me following error:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

Even in log file I am unable to understand the cause of the issue.
