You may find this stackoverflow post helpful to understand the dependency tree.

the syntax you are using does not match what most documents state : 2 3 4.

your syntax :

implementation('com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:20.0.0') {
        exclude module: 'gson'
        exclude module: 'com.google.gauva:gauva-jdk5:17.0'
    }

As mentioned in blog:

configurations.implementation {
    exclude group: 'org.springframework.boot', module: 'spring-boot-starter-logging'
}

As mentioned in Thread:

implementation ('com.google.apis:google-api-services-youtube:v3-rev183-1.22.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
    exclude group:'com.google.guava'
}

As mentioned in Thread:

configurations.implementation.exclude(group: 'com.google.firebase', module: 'protolite-well-known-types')

Try changing the configuration syntax to get the desired results

configurations.implementation {
  exclude group: 'com.google.gauva', module: 'gauva-jdk5'
} 

or

configurations.implementation.exclude(group: 'com.google.gauva', module: 'gauva-jdk5') 

I have been using realtime Firebase for my app for some time .I need to add Firestore to my project . when adding firestore , I have a duplication error . I would like to exclude modules from firestore and not from other libs .
I can not identify which module should be removed besides gson that was also duplicated.

implementation(‘com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:24.1.2’){
exclude module: ‘gson’,
exclude module:????
}
It seems very close or a duplicate of some other questions but none of the given answsers in previous questions worked

I can not give all gradle because file is very large but main google elements are :

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:20.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:20.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:20.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:20.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:20.0.0'

implementation 'com.google.guava:listenablefuture:9999.0-empty-to-avoid-conflict-with-guava'

implementation('com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:20.0.0') {
    exclude module: 'gson'
    exclude module: 'com.google.gauva:gauva-jdk5:17.0'
}


implementation 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.23.0' exclude module: 'httpclient' exclude module: 'com.google.gauva:gauva-jdk5:17.0'

I supppose issue comes from
implementation files(‘libsdeeparteffects-android-client-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar’) but i can not really test it
