Error:Program type already present: android.arch.lifecycle.LiveData

【Error:Program type already present: android.arch.lifecycle.LiveData】今日长缨在手，何时缚住苍龙。这篇文章主要讲述Error:Program type already present: android.arch.lifecycle.LiveData相关的知识，希望能为你提供帮助。

com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-firestore:3.1.0 depends on android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.0.0-beta1. Switching to version 3.2.2 fixes the issue by using the Lifecycle 1.1 libraries that Support Library 27.1.0 are built upon. - Issue Tracker

You can specify the Gradle version in either the File > Project Structure > Project menu in Android Studio, or by editing the Gradle distribution reference in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file. The following example sets the Gradle version to 4.10.1 in the gradle-wrapper.properties file.
