following error occurs, no idea how to fix ERROR:D8: Cannot fit requested classes in a single dex file (# methods: 131430 > 65536) com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives: The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.

the issue is solved with a simple reinstall. I had further issues with the video library which causes issues.
