Type androidx.appcompat.resources.R$dimen is defined multiple times

We have a React Native app where after upgrading to Android Studio 3.6.1 and Gradle plugin 3.6.1 we are seeing this compilation error:

Type androidx.appcompat.resources.R$dimen is defined multiple times: /Users/andrew/Software/project/android/app/build/intermediates/project_dex_archive/productionRelease/out/androidx/appcompat/resources/R$dimen.dex, /Users/andrew/Software/project/android/app/build/intermediates/project_dex_archive/productionRelease/out/15bdf8225afad69777cd7f9bd328ab094900c8289014e0107b56c5c62099dfea_3.jar:classes.dex

For me, that fixed it.

step 1: I deleted the file BuildConfig in: app->java(generated)->BuildConfig

step 2: Clean Project: Build->Clean Project

step 3: Build->Rebuild Project

@Wito Divaro, his answer helped me. If you are bothered by "R is defined multiple times.", just try to get rid of 'android/app/build'. Furthermore, I added this below line to app/build.gradle. If you want to try, try this.

defaultConfig {
   ..............
   multiDexEnabled true
}

dependencies {
    ..............
    implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'
}

public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication {
    ..............
}

For Googlers:
In my case, I've created a benchmark module (with plugin "com.android.library") and made it depend on the app module (with plugin "com.android.application").
But library module can not depend on the application module, as Gradle does not support it.
Here some info: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/boi4xg/modularization_help_android_library_module/

These answers are all outdated. I used 4.1.2. If you look at the path given in AS, it should point to \app\build\intermediates\project_dex_archive\debug\out. Go to this path, delete all the *.jar files, leaving the most recent one. I tried this and my project worked perfectly.

Don't bother with invalidates caches / restart as it won't work.

I deleted android/app/build folder, because my duplicates were exactly there.

I deleted ~/.gradle/caches

seems to work good. I did this because I saw ~/.gradle/caches in my error.

Type androidx.legacy.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle$Delegate is defined multiple times:
/Users/me/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/08344aeb2253f0dce062ee9436d14235/transformed/legacy-support-core-ui-1.0.0-runtime/classes.dex,
/Users/me/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/bde9e50d97f78024fdfcb4b5869842c8/transformed/legacy-support-core-ui-1.0.0-runtime/classes.dex
