I have an android app that just went over the method limit so I tried enabling multidex. Once I do it I get the following error:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForProdDebug'.

Project is being developed in Kotlin, with Android Studio 3.0, gradle plugin 3.0.0.
I tried not explicitly putting the dependency on the dependencies section, I tried excluding from "design" (which as far as I could see was the only dependency transitively bringing multidex), I tried with multidex 1.0.1, 1.0.2 but nothing seems to work.
I've ran out of ideas. If I switch to the "dev" flavor, mysteriously it works.
