错误信息
运行cordova build android报Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/cordova/BuildHelper错误：
$ cordova build android
[...]
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/cordova/BuildHelper;
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
解决方法
这是因为cordova-plugin-compat的BuildHelper.java和PermissionHelper.java已合并到cordova-android@6.3.0，如果项目包含了cordova-plugin-compat就会导致多个dex文件的错误提示。
删除cordova-plugin-compat可以解决这个问题。
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-compat --force
