title: Error: Duplicate zip entry [43.jar:org/apache/http/annotation/NotThreadSafe.class]
body: <p><strong>Problem:</strong> </p>
  
  <p><strong>Error after upgrading to Android Studio 3 : Error:java.io.IOException: Duplicate zip entry [43.jar:org/apache/http/annotation/NotThreadSafe.class]</strong></p>
  
  <p>Would appreciate some help in figuring out the issue. Seems related to apache library or something, not sure what it is about the annotation. This setup was working fine on Android 2.3, since I updated am getting this error and its been hours trying to fix the issue. I've enabled <code>multidex</code> support and all that but seems like this requires a more specific fix. Cheers</p>
  
  <p>just updated to <code>androidStudio3</code>. Unfortunately when I run the build I get the following 4 errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error:java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\Users\MICHAEL\AndroidStudioProjects\Project\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\Users\MICHAEL\AndroidStudioProjects\Project\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\debug\43.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [43.jar:org/apache/http/annotation/NotThreadSafe.class]))
