Android Studio stuck on :app:transformdexarchivewithdexmergerfordebug after migrating to androidx while building the gradle

I migrated to AndroidX and since then I'm unable to run my app on emulator neither I'm able to generate .apk or app bundle because the android studio gets stuck on

:app:transformdexarchivewithdexmergerfordebug while building the app.

I tried to remove multidex and enabling it, still found no luck

This is my app gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.firebase-perf'

android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example"
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 100
    versionName "1.0.0"
    vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

lintOptions {
    checkReleaseBuilds false
    // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
    // but continue the build even when errors are found:
    abortOnError false
}

}

I've tried invalidating caches and restart and also deleted the cache in .gradle/caches/ but still, the problem persists. Android studio stuck on :app:transformdexarchivewithdexmergerfordebug since 3 hours and not building the project.

Could someone please help me what can I do so that my project build successfully?

I fixed this yesterday on my project. When you build from the command line with --debug or --stacktrace, you'll find that Gradle runs out of memory. My javaMaxHeapSize was set to 8g, but that didn't seem to work (or matter).

Setting it to 2048M and removing com.google.firebase:firebase-perf seemed to do the trick. I'll suggest you set your javaMaxHeapSize in dexOptions to 2048M and try building.
