com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

[lxknvlk]

This library produces next error when added to gradle:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Android Studio 3.0
this is my gradle file:

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0'
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version"
compile "org.jetbrains.anko:anko:$anko_version"
implementation 'com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3'
implementation 'com.github.tgio:parse-livequery:1.0.3'
}

Fixed by excluding the okhttp library from other imports

compile ('com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3'){
    exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3"
}

It worked with packagingOptions{ exclude 'META-INF/rxjava.properties' } added to gradle file.

I have the same problem, I tested both options:
compile ('com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3'){
exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3"
}

and packagingOptions{ exclude 'META-INF/rxjava.properties' }

None worked for me. This is my gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.yadercenteno.proyecto"

Try something like below:
implementation ('com.parse:parse-android:1.+',{
exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3"
})
implementation ('com.github.tgio:parse-livequery:1.0.3', {
exclude group: 'com.parse', module: 'parse-android'
})
