setting multiDexEnabled true solves the issue.Does having more than 64K references slow down the app?

GAGANsinghmsitececommented, Jun 12, 2021

I add following in app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1"
}

and edited Manifest.xml file to have,

<application
        android:name="androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
    ...
</application>

Still the error persists
