More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module'

I've recently added the Chucker library to my app and got this build error:

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugJavaResource'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module'

It turns out that both CalendarView and Chucker are creating the same META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module file:

I've opened an issue on Chucker with more details about the error and some solutions: ChuckerTeam/chucker#134

While there is a way to fix this, it would be nice that to fix the issue on the library itself, which would avoid having every user apply the same fix :)

I'm not sure what the actual fix for this is. I do have a lot on my plate at the moment so if you know the fix, kindly open a PR.

Thanks @kizitonwose

On the other library that also has this problem they've opened a PR with a fix: ChuckerTeam/chucker#146

Let's see if it does fix it and I might then open a PR here.

I have excluded this file and worked perfect Ref

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module'
}
