Had same problem... This was the solution that worked for me:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28917696/errorexecution-failed-for-task-appdexdebug-com-android-ide-common-process

For me I had multiple versions of the same library included in /app/libs. I was using Parse and I had both ParseFacebookUtilsV3-1.9.0.jar and ParseFacebookUtilsV4-1.9.0.jar.

Deleting the V3 jar solves the problem.

Marking this as the Best Answer - it is the solution to the problem :)

For anyone who wants to solve this issue quickly, simply delete your ParseFacebookUtilsV3 jar file as Josh has said in his answer.

At the start please ensure that in your gradle file you will include all lines from parse,com in my case it was:

   compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'

    //where src/main/libs is the path to the directory I created - libs in this case
   compile fileTree(dir: 'src/main/libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
