I'm getting an error when building my APK

Question

I'm getting this error when I try to build my APK. I'm currently mantaining and buf-fixing this app from another developer. In the gradle he used .+ in every compile. How can I fix it?

The Error: Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout.class

The gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'

Try setting them to the latest versions of each of the compiled libraries. I've found the "+" never seems to work out well, myself. — rjr-apps, Mar 05 '18 at 22:10

Remove all of the "+" in your libraries dependency's version
Try this in your app level gradle file
```
implementation('com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support'
}`
```
if it does not solve try logging dependencies run this command
```
./gradlew -q dependencies app:dependencies --configuration compile
```
in your android studio's Terminal Tab it will log all the dependency tree of your project

then find which libraries are using duplicating dependencies

for example

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1'

is using duplicate dependencies so change

 implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1'

to

implementation('com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.6.1') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support'
}
