Followed the instructions in the Readme. When I try to build to device I get the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'. > java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Not really sure how to go about fixing this. Any ideas?

That's new. There are some solutions that pop up when you google DexArchiveMergerException Unable to merge dex. Can you give them a try?

I tried adding the line: multiDexEnabled true to the defaultConfig in build.gradle, but this doesn't seem to work.

Here is the stack trace:

  • Exception is:

I used to get this error when I was calling the unity-classes.jar file 2 times, did you delete the unity-classes.jar file from the JniLibs folder?
Also, check if you are calling it again from the dependencies section.
