Building library failed with dex errors

Description

Sync’d gradle, that went OK. Clean Project, that went OK. Then added Rebuild or run on device and it fails with:

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/andres/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/leku-4.0.1.aar/349173a406929f5032ad2ef1e18bc511/jars/classes.jar
Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Error while dexing com/schibstedspain/leku/geocoder/AndroidGeocoderDataSource.class
Error:com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: invalid opcode ba (invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26)
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/andres/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/leku-4.0.1.aar/349173a406929f5032ad2ef1e18bc511/jars/classes.jar

This issue is more for me as well to track my progress debugging this. I have a feeling that my machine might be the problem. So, I’m transferring my project to a new one just in case. Until then I’ll keep this updated here:

I tried adding minsdk to 26 and it did build but I can’t test it because I don’t have a 26 device. Originally I was loading the full google play services bundle as an implementation but then I got multidex and too many methods (dex) errors and reduced it just to maps and places/locations, that reduced my original 30+ errors to just the four above. Removing the leku library and instances, it builds just fine without errors or warnings. Attached is my app gradle file:

Info Required

• Which version of the library do you actually use? 4.0.1

• Do you have the localization permission granted?

• Are you sending parameters to the activity through the bundle? N/A

• Could you describe what are the actions do you make to raise that error? Building

• Android monitor shows any log related to the library when the error is shown? N/A

• Any other thing that could help me to reproduce the error?

Adding following options to build.gradle file in app module helped me.

compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 }
