More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST' (Android / Gradle) [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to build my app and get the following error:

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST'

I am pretty sure it is a conflict between these two Gradle dependencies, but have no idea how to solve it.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:19.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-vision:1.99.1'
}

Answer 2

For the latest android modular architecture/multi module

Please add this option part of the top module where the application class is present else it won't work.

packagingOptions {
     exclude 'META-INF/INDEX.LIST'
}
