Error compiling app for Android 4 (Program type already present)

Question

I have an Android (Java) project and after migrating to Androidx I received the following error (d8 errors):

Program type already present: com.enterprisedt.BaseIOException

Note that Gradle synchronization occurs normally. This error appears only at the time of compiling for the device. However, this only happens when I’m compiling for an Android 4 device. While trying to compile for Android 5+, the build is successful and the application runs smoothly.

The 3 libraries I mentioned (activation, mail, edtftpj) need to be in lib and project because they are actually used.

That I’ve tried before:

• ./gradlew clean

• Android Studio -> File -> invalidate cache and Restart

• Android Studio -> Build -> Clean Project

• I removed one of the duplicate libraries (this generated another error because I use the library tools in both modules)

• I added the following code to the build.Radle:

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'com/sun/mail/dsn/mailcap'
    exclude 'dsn.mf'
    exclude 'javamail.charset.map'
    exclude 'javamail.default.address.map'
    exclude 'javamail.default.providers'
    exclude 'javamail.imap.provider'
    exclude 'javamail.pop3.provider'
    exclude 'javamail.smtp.address.map'
    exclude 'javamail.smtp.provider'
    exclude 'mailcap'
    exclude 'mimetypes.default'
    exclude 'mailcap.default'
    exclude 'com.enterprisedt.BaseIOException'
    exclude 'javax.activation.*'
