When trying to build(debug and regular) an Android libGdx project with the freeytpe extention(set up using wiki instructions[https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Gdx-freetype]) I get the following error:
Execution failed for task ':android:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'. java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex
Same error for regular build. --stacktrace option gives the following error:
> org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':android:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.

I use: Android Studio 3.0.1 latest versions of Gradle/build-tools
I have tried: - Android Studio Gradle error “Multiple dex files define…”
-And Project->clean
-As Aryan suggested: enabling multidex
-Excluding dependencies(this seems to be the right path, however it doesn't work): new gradle file:

still depencencies for android are(gradlew android:dependencies):
https://pastebin.com/FQJcr7MV (moved bcause of character limitations)
-Instant run is disabled.
Note: used Gradle sync after every modification
Possible Problems: I added the FreeType module and updated Android Studio before doing any builds; the latter may also be a problem(unlikely).
Thanks in advance
