body: <p>I am following a tutorial (<a href="http://android2.in/how-to-upload-images-to-firebase-storage/" rel="noreferrer">link</a>) to upload images to Firebase database but am getting the below error. I rechecked the gradle dependencies and also enabled  multidex support but error still remains</p>
