Debug build failing for Android

I have implemented the jacoco coverage report for my android app. Since i have implemented it and try to build the debug app and run the jacoco commands to generate reports i am getting below issue .
Please suggest the solution for it.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeExtDexStagingDebug'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:stagingDebugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Failed to transform arcgis-android-100.15.0.aar (com.esri.arcgisruntime:arcgis-android:100.15.0) to match attributes {artifactType=android-dex, asm-transformed-variant=NONE, dexing-enable-desugaring=true, dexing-enable-jacoco-instrumentation=true, dexing-is-debuggable=true, dexing-min-sdk=23, org.gradle.category=library, org.gradle.libraryelements=jar, org.gradle.status=release, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime}.

> org.gradle.internal.operations.BuildOperationInvocationException (no error message)

* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

Hi Anshul, were you able to fix the issue?

I have similar issue unfortunately

This usually happens when Jacoco instrumentation conflicts with certain dependencies—try excluding Jacoco from those specific libraries or align Gradle/AGP versions to avoid the transform issue. I ran into a similar headache recently, and fixing the version mismatch solved it. By the way, your post was really useful to read while I was relaxing with my Plush Labubu Keychain—small things like that make debugging a bit less stressful.
