While trying to Generate a signed APK I'm getting this error
Entry name 'classes.dex' collided
Can someone tell me how to solve it? I recently changed the default package name which was com.exmaple to my app's name. It builds correctly but gives this error while trying to generate a signed APK
My android studio version is 4.1.2
You are probably facing this error because you already have a signed APK in your project's "release" folder. Please check for any existing APK and delete it, then try to generate once more.
I had the same problem and here's how I solved it easily:
Add this code in build.gradle
android {
packagingOptions {
exclude 'classes.dex'
exclude '**.**'
}
}
