I’m getting the following runtime error:
Duplicate class com.google.api.Advice found in modules proto-google-common-protos-2.40.0.jar -> proto-google-common-protos-2.40.0 (com.google.api.grpc:proto-google-common-protos:2.40.0) and protolite-well-known-types-18.0.0.aar -> protolite-well-known-types-18.0.0-runtime (com.google.firebase:protolite-well-known-types:18.0.0)

I thought that adding the following to my app-level gradle file

implementation(libs.google.api.client) {
    exclude group: 'com.google.api.grpc', module: 'proto-google-common-protos' // Exclude the duplicate class
}

would resolve the issue, but it didn’t. Here are the project- and app-level gradle files:

buildscript {
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath libs.gradle.v842
    classpath libs.google.services
}
}

tasks.register('clean', Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

and

plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'com.google.gms.google-services' // For Firebase integration
}

android {
namespace 'com.uomini.myaiassistantben'
compileSdk 34

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.uomini.myaiassistantben"
    minSdk 26
    targetSdk 34
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"

    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
}
