Didn't find class “com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzbq” on path: DexPathList

Question

My Gradle File:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.1'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.mystorie.totheworld"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true

        aaptOptions { cruncherEnabled = false }

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

    dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" }

}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:+'
    //noinspection GradleCompatible
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    compile 'com.parse:parse-android:+'
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
    //noinspection GradleCompatible
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.2.0'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+'
    compile 'com.parse:parsefacebookutils-v4-android:1.10.3@aar'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

This is the error I received

Answer 1

This is because you have multiple version of Google Play Services with the following dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'

So, you need to remove the following:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'

And use only one version of the library:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'

It should be remove your error

Answer 2

I had this problem and I solved it thanks to this other answer.

Android 3.1.1 - Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/common/internal/zzbq

The problem is the lack of this dependency in the gradle file

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

Answer 3

If you update your project to AndroidX.

Then remove

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'

and make sure all of your com.google.android.gms dependencies are same version .
