Duplicate entry for slf4j class - StaticLoggerBinder

[Sayed Jalil Hassan]

Our release build fails with the following error

Warning:Exception while processing task java.io.IOException: Can't write  
    [.../app/build/intermediates/transforms/proguard/release/jars/3/1f/main.ja] 
    (Can't read [.../.gradle/caches/modules-2/files

logger/1.3.6/5cb3345e23efd3d3a195eb8c4ae5b627189f8159/android-logger-
1.3.6.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [org/b/c/a.class == 
android-logger-1.3.6.jar:org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]))

Looks like the internal slf4j package conflicts with other libraries depending on the slf4j library

Running into this too. Did anyone find a solution here?
