Issues with Gradle for Android -> Android Studio requests to add metadata however it does not work

I'm struggling to make my app work after i added Facebook login with Firebase.
I've been having different issues however all of them are about versions and change something in manifest data. The last issue that i got was:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId#value
value=(#string/facebook_app_id) from AndroidManifest.xml:23:13-52 is
also present at [com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:2.3.0]
AndroidManifest.xml:24:13-60 value=(#string/facebook_application_id).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to
element at AndroidManifest.xml:22:9-23:54 to override.
I have already tried to change and add the metada tag however it has not worked.
My Gradle file is like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "br.sosqueen.com.sosqueen"
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
//General

compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
// Firebase UI Database
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:3.1.0'
//Google Play Services
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.2.0'
//Firebase
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
//Facebook Login
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[4,5)'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
I know that i am using lots of dependencies however i do need them all.
Can anybody help me, please?????

This is better than
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
//Firebase
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:3.2.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'

Trying to build on Android

I am trying to build my app but i received this error. I have rebuilt, cleaned progect and reset Android Studio. This is the screenshot of the problem:
Code error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to pre-dex 'C:\Users\User-1.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\stax\stax-api\1.0.1\49c100caf72d658aca8e58bd74a4ba90fa2b0d70\stax-api-1.0.1.jar' to 'C:\Users\User-1\Documents\workspace\WebUpHosting\app\build\intermediates\transforms\dex\debug\folders\1000\10\stax-api-1.0.1_4deeb811af0ea67608aa694ead937d7c9ac36202'
The problem is when i am building, because my app compiles right. Anyone knows how i could solve that?
UPDATE:
buil.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

defaultConfig {

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Hard to tell the exact problem with more code to see, but as a solution, you could just simply disable pre-dex:
boolean preDexLibraries
Whether to pre-dex libraries. This can improve incremental builds, but clean builds may be slower.
To do so, add the following block in your main module (app)'s build.gradle file, inside the android:
android {
// everything else
dexOptions {
preDexLibraries = false
}
}
By default, it is set to true, so by setting it to false, you could get around your issue, but it may not solve the root-cause.

Getting error to generate Signed Apk from Android Studio

While generating signed apk from Android Studio getting an error. A few days later all works good, while from last 2 days I am facing problem to generate signed apk.
Error is:

i have try many things to do but the result still the same
i have add all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
but still error
help me to resolve this.. icant resolve it in 1 day
thx stackoverflow

I had a similar issue, I was importing
compile fr.avianey.com.viewpagerindicator:library:2.4.1.1'
and had to add "#aar" termination
compile 'fr.avianey.com.viewpagerindicator:library:2.4.1.1#aar'

That error in your latest comment is completely different as it relates to an XML issue in your Activity.
You do not need the support-v4 dependency explicitly. It is included with the v7 dependency. That being said, definitely do not need to force = true on it
The solution to the first error is remove both dependencies of compile 'com.android.support:support-v4

This has worked for me.
compile('com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.5.1') {
exclude module: 'support-compat'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
and below is the image of the error am getting , please help me out.

The Android system will prevent the user from installing the
application if the system's API Level is lower than the value
specified in this attribute.
Check your error log .
You should change your minSdkVersion version at first .
minSdkVersion 16 // 13 Conflict for your requirement
targetSdkVersion 23
Then Clean-Rebuild-Restart & Gradle
com.google.firebase:firebase using min level 16 .
