DexOverflowException after adding com.google.firebase: firebase-firestore: 11.4.2

Question

I had a problem after adding the compilation "com.google.firebase: firebase-firestore: 11.4.2" to my assembly.

As soon as I add this, it also adds com.google.common, among other things, to my dex file, which contains about 27 thousand sitelinks, thus breaking in the 64k dex limit.

Does anyone know why this is so, or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Try adding these lines to build.gradle

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 21 
        targetSdkVersion 26
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

This will allow you to use multidex mode, which allows you to exceed the 64k limit. (More info here )

gradle.build:

     MultiDex.install(this);
  }
}
