Could not use 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:3.0.0' (gradle)

[BoD]

I am building an Android app.
When declaring these 2 dependencies:

    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:3.0.0'

my build fails with this error:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:

        at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:245)
        at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

When looking at okhttp-urlconnection.jar I was surprised to see this class indeed present inside. I am not sure if this is normal.

I tried to be clever and declare instead these dependencies:

//    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.0'
    compile ('com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:3.0.0') { exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp3' }

(notice the first declaration is commented out)

Now the build succeeds. But my app fails at runtime, with this exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lokhttp3/internal/tls/OkHostnameVerifier;

Weird?

[nicolasjafelle]

I have the same issue

[ValleZ]

Probably it's bit early to call v3.0.0 a stable version.

[JakeWharton]

It's stable.

#2243 (comment).

[ValleZ]

I'm glad to hear this, Jake. Unfortunately it doesn't compile for most common scenarios because of the issue. Any plans to support picasso with okhttp3?

[iNoles]

@BoD why you still have exclude line on the urlconnection one if you comment first one?

[BoD]

@iNoles Gradle knows that okhttp-urlconnection depends on okhttp so adds it as a transitive dependency.

[dave-r12]

Shoot, is this from the maven-bundle-plugin?

[BoD]

@dave-r12 The way I see it, this is intended behavior. The indesirable part is the included .class files in okhttp-url-connection.jar (IMHO).

[JakeWharton]

OkHttp 3 support is already merged into Picasso master (and Retrofit) and there exists standalone projects on my GitHub for support of all current versions.

[swankjesse]

Ugh, not sure why okhttp3-urlconnection contains more classes than it’s supposed to. I’ll prepare a fix.

[swankjesse]

The too-many-class-files fix is here:
#2246

[swankjesse]

Fixed & released as 3.0.1. Trying to enable OSGi burned us on this one.

Hello,

I get the same error when I try to use okhttp-3.3.1.jar. Do you have any idea?

Explanation:
I'll try to build an Android app that' been developed by using react-native. At the same time I know that react-native uses the okhttp3 in its NetworkingModule. But I get this error.

Also I tried out okhttp-3.0.1.jar. I get the same error. Therefore I guess a different thing causes the problem and it specific to me.

After a while: I think the problem regarding with both of react-native and I use the okhttp3 library. And because of the same class names a conflict occurs.
