Answer 1

add this to gradle.build:

defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion // your version 
...

// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

• follow android developers page's instruction: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html

Why would multidex help with this issue? – Belenbelesprit

@Fondly did you manage to solve it by this answer ? or anyone ? – Conoid

I don't think this is a solution since my project has it already enabled. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue though, just 1 crash reported by Crashlytics. – Radiative

Answer 2

just add the below line of code within the "application" element of AndroidManifest.xml.

`

    <uses-library
        android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
        android:required="false" />

         ...........
         ..........
</application>
