  <p>Since I updated to 3.2.1 and google play services to 4.1.0 and added Firebase/Firestore libraries I got this error :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: Program type already present: com.google.protobuf.DescriptorProtos$DescriptorProto$Builder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried <strong>./gradlew :app:dependencies  > ./dependencies.txt</strong> and exclude protobuff like this <strong>exclude group: "com.google.protobuf", module: "protobuf-lite"</strong> but it seems to be wrong, still the error.</p>
  
  <p>gradle-4.6-all.zip
  Android studio 3.2</p>
  
  <p>If someone encounters the same problem and have some solution,it would be nice.</p>
