after my googling I've added these lines to my Gradle:

packagingOptions {
    pickFirst "**"
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE*'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    exclude("META-INF/ASL-2.0.txt")
    exclude("META-INF/LGPL-3.0.txt")
    exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
    exclude("META-INF/*.kotlin_module")
}

but, unfortunately pickFirst causes t pick first file from different libs and it causing app to be crashed in stripe configuration, if I removed pickFirst the project fails to run with upper stacktrace so can anyone help me please ion that?
