When Importing the zoomlayou third-party library, the installation reports an error, Clean Project, clearing the cache and restarting are also invalid

Solution:
Add the following code to the module’s build.gradle under the android tab

android {
	packagingOptions {
      	pickFirst "META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module"
	}
}
or
android {
	packagingOptions {
      	exclude "META-INF/library_release.kotlin_module"
	}
}
