If you've been developing with React Native or Expo for a while, chances are you've had a project that suddenly refuses to build for what seems like no reason.
Maybe you installed a new package. Maybe you upgraded Expo. Maybe you only changed a single dependency. You confidently run your Android build, expecting it to compile like always...
Instead, Gradle greets you with something like this:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses'.
Duplicate class androidx.lifecycle.ViewModelLazy found in modules lifecycle-viewmodel-2.8.2.aar and lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx-2.6.1.aar
