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

May i know why i launch the app in the Virtual Devices but the apk didnt shown up in virtual devices and error are shown in the message log as shown below.

Message log :

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

My App Gradle files :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "ibm.examplefirebase1"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:10.0.1'

    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-beta4'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

My project gradle files :

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}
