throws:

I just figured it is due to following lines in my app/build.gradle file:

    configurations {
        implementation.exclude module: 'proto-google-common-protos'
        implementation.exclude module: 'protolite-well-known-types'
        implementation.exclude module: 'protobuf-lite'
    }

Now, if I don’t add these lines, I’m getting error:

Duplicate class com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessageLite found in modules jetified-protobuf-javalite-3.11.0.jar (com.google.protobuf:protobuf-javalite:3.11.0) and jetified-protobuf-lite-3.0.1.jar (com.google.protobuf:protobuf-lite:3.0.1)

and unable to compile my project.

Since there haven’t been any recent updates here, I am going to close this issue.
