Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDexRelease' in Android

Thanks! I’ve already solved my issue, in my case the reason was completely different, I had the apply plugin: 'com.facebook.react' line in my android/app/build.gradle.

hello, I have same error… when I run from Android Studio the app is working… and when I try from terminal I have this error:

My bundle.gradle:

`buildscript { repositories { gradlePluginPortal() } dependencies { classpath ‘gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:[0.12.10, 0.99.99]’ } }

• The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets

• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
• and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
