      ...
  }

• Add the following packagingOptions

    android {
        ...
        packagingOptions {
            pickFirst 'META-INF/atomicfu.kotlin_module'
            pickFirst 'META-INF/proguard/coroutines.pro'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'

            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
        }
    }
