maven - Android Studio - after doing upgrade of gradle ':app:checkReleaseDuplicateClasses' task failed

Question

After some update when try to build APK I get errors bellow. Tried few times times gradlew clean, no success. Did Invalidate Caches/Restart..., same result. Any idea?

My build.gradle looks like here

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

    compileSdkVersion 29

    buildToolsVersion '29.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "ro.notnull.bubblesinline"

        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 8
        versionName "1.7.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            debuggable false

            shrinkResources true
        }
        debug {
            //buildConfigField("String", "BUILD_TIME", ""0"")
            debuggable true
        }
    }

    compileOptions {

        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

Answer 1

Finally fixed it.

I've noticed that in gradle cache I had very old files 2 years+, so why not to delete them?

This is what I did

1. Close Android Studio
2. Deleted manually everything from gradle cache, in my case it was C:Usersmarce.gradlecaches .
3. Reboot the PC, just to be 101% sure that everything was wiped from cache :)
4. Started Android Studio

And everything started to work again.
