Not sure how we can enable Multi dex in appcelerator.

As of now, you can only cross-check which modules are using same set of libraries with different versions & then use a single version of library for all conflicting modules.

e.g. If you use ti.map & firebase.core, then you can use ti.playservices for both modules.

But in your case, the conflicting libraries are from Annotation lib, then you can either provide a list of all your modules here so we can check which one is causing this issue, or you can check yourself for conflicting modules & follow above process to resolve them.
