Build APK - ERROR - Application: transformClassesWithDexForDebug

Question

I watched so many threads here and still have not found a working solution.

When I want to create an APK, I get this main error:

Error: execution completed for task ': Application: transformClassesWithDexForDebug. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: an error occurred while executing a java process with the main class com.android.dx.command.Main with Arguments {--dex --num-threads = 4 --multi-dex --main-dex-list C: \ Users \ Rätik \ Desktop \ BUILDBOX \ VOLUNTEER \ STUDIO \ application \ build \ intermediate \ multi-DEX \ Debug \ maindexlist.txt --output C: \ Users \ ratik \ Desktop \ BUILDBOX \ VOLUNTEER \ STUDIO \ app \ build \ intermediates \ transforms \ dex \ debug \ folders \ 1000 \ 1f \ main C: \ Users \ Rätik \ Desktop \ BUILDBOX \ VOLUNTEER \ STUDIO \ application \ assembly \\ intermediate conversions \ jarMerging \ Debug \ jar \ 1 \ 1e \ combined.jar}

There are several more errors, but sometimes they appear only sometimes, some of them:

Error: when com.android.dx.cf.direct.ClassPathOpener.processArchive (ClassPathOpener.java:284)

Error: when com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.processFileBytes (Main.java:723)

Error: when com.android.dx.cf.direct.DirectClassFile.parseToInterfacesIfNecessary (DirectClassFile.java data)

Error: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC upper limit exceeded

What I tried:

In build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.biif.volunteer"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 25
        multiDexEnabled true

        ndk {
            moduleName "player_shared"
        }

    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            shrinkResources false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }


    }
    sourceSets.main {
        jni.srcDirs = []// <-- disable automatic ndk-build call
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'){exclude module: 'support-v4'}
    compile files('libs/dagger-1.2.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/javax.inject-1.jar')
    compile files('libs/nineoldandroids-2.4.0.jar')
    compile files('libs/support-v4-19.0.1.jar')
    compile ('com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1')
}

In manifest

Android: name = "android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

Plus, I turned off Instant Start (saw in a single thread here).

Nothing helped :( Any ideas, please? Thanks for helping the guys :)
