Cant build my react-native project on android

since yesterday im getting this error when im trying to run my project:

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: Error while generating the main dex list.

I was reading some posts about the issue and I tried to add those lines:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

because when I used stack trace I was getting this error:

Program type already present: androidx.versionedparcelable.CustomVersionedParcelable react native

I added this lines to my local.propeties file but when I did that I have seen that I need to change all my node-module files to use androidx

In addition I was trying to update the package react-native-device-info to the newest version 2.1.2 but still the same result…

React Native version:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.50.4

I’m working with visual code because my project is for IOS and Android, so the option to migrate to AndroidX is not relevant for me…

I’m attaching my files:

Is there anyway to fix this issue for now? I can’t run my project suddenly

Same fix for me as for @tal987:

i solved mine with these dependencies

implementation project(':react-native-firebase')
implementation(project(':react-native-push-notification')) {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0") {
    force = true
}
