[INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT] Error When Trying to run app on Genymotion emulator

Hey, I have finished an app and I want to test it out on my Genymotion emulator. However, when I try to run it I get an error message that says "pkg:/data/local/tmp/appname.company.com.blinker Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]"

After this it gives a dialogue that asks if I want to uninstall the old app and install the new one as the old one could harm the app. I try yes or no but either way I get an 'Unknown failure' in the 'Run' console and the app doesn't run. I am using Android Studio and Windows 8.1.

Here is my Gradle build:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion '20.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "blinker.zslasherstudios.com.blinker"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:20.0.0'

    compile files('src/main/libs/Parse-1.6.0.jar')
    compile files('libs/commons-io-2.4.jar')
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

}
