Android 3.3.0 update, ERROR: Cause: invalid type code: 68

After the new update of Android Studio (3.3.0) I'm getting error from Gradle sync saying "ERROR: Cause: invalid type code: 68". Even in project, that have been created before the update and hasn't changed at all.
I've tried to reinstall Android Studio, which hasn't helped either, so there has to be something incompatible with my project, but it doesn't say what and why.

I had the same problem. I was working on a project on two PCs: one at my office and one at home. In my office, after the AS 3.3 update, everything was fine but at home, after the same steps that I did at the office, the Error code 68 came out.
After a couple of hours, I figured out how to solve it.
Android Studio 3.3 has the " Only sync the active variant" option enabled by default in Settings>Experimental. Disabling this feature resolved the problem. But reactivating the feature the same error shows up, even after a successful Gradle sync. So I think this isn't a complete solution, but at least now I can work.

I had the same issu with IntelliJ 2019.1, Untick this option works for me.

Alter path JDK location to .....\Android Studio\jre

I got a similar message ("invalid type code: E5") and resolved it by first building from the command line, which revealed it was a Firebase libs version conflict, and then switching to use firebase-bom instead of manually specifying each version.

I had the same error (6C) during a LinkedIn Learning course, I managed to solve it through the following steps
Updating Kotlin in project-level build.gradle file
Update gradle build version in project-level build.gradle file.
Open Project Structure and using the Suggestions tab, update all modules to the latest version.
Update the compileSdkVersion & targetSdkVersion to latest.

Gradle - Couldn't expand zip cardview-v7-23.3.0.aar

I try to implement firebase into my app. But there is an interference between firebase and google play service.
Here is my build.gradle for the module:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

defaultConfig {

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.2.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
And here is build.gradle for the project:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'

}
}

}
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com" // Google's Maven repository
}
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
When I try to run the app I get eventhough I didn't use cardview in my app:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:prepareComAndroidSupportCardviewV72330Library'.
> Could not expand ZIP 'C:\Users\Nefrin\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\com.android.support\cardview-v7\23.3.0\abdf83a0192c03ff190f941c6c885af18d257a2c\cardview-v7-23.3.0.aar'.
Android Studio is underlining the compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4' and says:
All com.google.android.gms libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 11.2.0, 11.0.4. Examples include com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:11.2.0 and com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4 less... (Ctrl+F1)
There are some combinations of libraries, or tools and libraries, that are incompatible, or can lead to bugs. One such incompatibility is compiling with a version of the Android support libraries that is not the latest version (or in particular, a version lower than your targetSdkVersion.)

As the error says all the google libraries should use the same version.
So you should update the play-services library and use the same version as firebase:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.2.0'

You need to change this line of code:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4'
with
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.2.0'
Hope it helps.

java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: javax/inject/Inject.class

I have seen similar responses to the below question. Sorry but i could not fixed it out trying multiple things so I am asking it again.
Whenever I am trying to build my app, the gradle build throws me the below error stating ...due to duplicate entry of javax/Inject class.
This only occurred when I am trying to put compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-jdk-http:2.9' in my build.gradle file; This package is necessary for javax.ws.rs.* services.
I tried running the gradlew clean command in my root directory, it says that build is successful but when I am building my application again it started throwing the error again.
Can you please help on the below error:
*Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

Ok so I created a sample project with all those dependencies and I got a different error.
So if you are still getting the ZipException error, you have some jars in your lib folder that we are not aware of?
Here's the error I got:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformResourcesWithMergeJavaResForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.packaging.DuplicateFileException: Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF/LICENSE
If you are getting a similar error, all you need to do is add the following to your build.gradle:
android {
defaultConfig {
...
}
buildTypes {
....
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
}
}
If this doesn't make any difference, do you have any jar libraries in your project? If so, we need to see the list.
EDIT:
I can't know for sure if it will work because I am not getting the same error. In your dependencies, change to this:
compile ('org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-jdk-http:2.9') {
exclude group: 'javax.inject', module: 'javax.inject'
}

This error means that the class javax.inject.Inject is being included twice in your apk when the dexer runs. That is, this exact same class is coming from 2 different dependencies. One of them is probably org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-jdk-http:2.9 because it happens after you added it.
If you CMD+O (jump to class) on Android Studio, you should be able to see the 2 versions of this class and see where they are coming from. Make sure you select the checkbox that allows it to show classes included from your dependencies. Once you open them, hover over the file tab and you'll see a tooltip with the artifact name. That is gonna be the dependency that's including that class.
Hope it makes sense.

Duplicate files copied in APK META-INF

hi im new in android development, i am trying to build my apk but i got this erorr. and i update my gradle and i got duplicate copy. how can i fix this error?

I had the same or at least a very similar problem today with our React Native app. The problem was only on my Mac though. The only plausible explanation we could think of was that I updated a bunch of Android Studio tools and then gradle couldn't build properly with our dependencies. Anyways after excluding the pom.properties and pom.xml from okhttp I kept getting the same error but it turns out that I just had to exclude even more files. This is my complete packagingOptions in build.gradle:
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okhttp3/okhttp/pom.properties'
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okio/okio/pom.xml'
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okhttp3/okhttp/pom.xml'
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okio/okio/pom.properties'
}

to solve your problem please add this to your build gradle
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/pom.properties' /*OR*/ 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okhttp/okhttp/pom.properties
}

It seems like okhttp and crashlytics don't work together in newer gradle versions (2.10 in my case). I fixed this by updating the crashlytics to a newer version (which is now called Fabric).

packagingOptions
{
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okhttp/okhttp/pom.properties
exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.squareup.okhttp/okhttp/pom.xml'
}
Please check for correct path "com.squareup.okhttp/okhttp/pom.properties" in your errorlog.

Android gradle :app:packageDebug FAILED: class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method equals

I'm new to Android and I can't get my first app to run. Whenever I try, it's throwing this error:
Android gradle :app:packageDebug FAILED: class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method equals.
I googled it and I found many questions there. As many said, this problem is probably due to the fact that I have multiple dependencies on BouncyCastle in my project. I tryed to remove the .gradle folder both in my project and in my local folder so I could download again the jars from the repository but nothing has changed. I also double checked that my JAVA_HOME is set and it's pointing to a 1.7 version. I tryed to gradle :app:clean and gradle :app:dependencies to see if I was missing something but still... I can't see any dependency from BouncyCastle... Can anybody help me?
Also, this problem occured without me changing any code... The app successfully worked yesterday and now is giving me this error... I don't get it. Thank you.

I've solved this problem myself just by changing the JDK I was using from x32 to x64 and now is compiling correctly.
