You have too many methods. There can only be 65536 methods for dex.

As suggested you can use the multidex support.

Just add these lines in the module/build.gradle:

android {
   
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        
        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'  //with androidx libraries
  //implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'  //with support libraries
  
}

Or if using module/build.gradle.kts:

android {
    // other properties

    defaultConfig {
        ...

        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1")  // with androidx libraries
    // implementation("com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3")  // with support libraries
}
