com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex解决

如果您的Studio是3.0.1,并且您的gradle使用的是3.0.1,如下

 dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' 
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

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

你并且设置了multiDexEnabled true依赖了这个implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' ，那么出现

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.

> java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

这个问题请您检查module.gradle内buildTypes release、debug里是否设置了debuggable true,如果没有请加上问题就解决了。

 buildTypes {
        release {
            debuggable true  // *****
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
