detox build fails on Android

[clems36]

Hi! I can't get past detox build on a brand new Expokit project. The build fails on these tasks:

> Transform full.jar (project :unimodules-core) with DexingTransform

Here's my config (works fine on iOS):

"detox": {
  "configurations": {
    "ios.sim.debug": {
      "binaryPath": "/Users/clementdebellefroid/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/detox-test-bdznjcaewoobdcfdwtdisdwidhjo/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/detox-test.app",
      "build": "xcodebuild -workspace ios/detox-test.xcworkspace -scheme detox-test -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator -derivedDataPath ios/build",
      "type": "ios.simulator",
      "name": "iPhone SE"
    },
    "android.device.debug": {
      "binaryPath": "android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk",
      "build": "cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug && cd ..",
      "type": "android.attached",
      "name": "HYF0219402003939"
    }
  },
  "test-runner": "jest"
},

To Reproduce

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces

Provide the steps necessary to reproduce the issue. If you are seeing a regression, try to provide the last known version where the issue did not reproduce.

1. Run expo init to create a new project
2. Run expo eject make it an expokit project
3. cd into your project, run yarn && cd ios && pod install
4. Follow the steps to configure detox
5. Add the android.device.debug config
6. Run detox build -c android.device.debug

Here's a repo to help reproduce the issue: https://github.com/clems36/detox-test

Environment:

• Detox: 14.0.3
• React Native: 0.59.8
• Node: v12.9.0
• macOS: Mojave 10.14.6

This might not be directly related to Detox but i assume it affects anyone who creates an expokit project.
