More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/atomicfu.kotlin_module'

Want to raise 2 points:

First is that the callbacks of the library are using kotlin and prefer lambda expressions. The code is not designed to work well with java 7. For example: camera.addCameraOpenedListener() Please mention this in prerequisite to use this library, or provide support/guide for using it along with Java 7.

Second, After adding library dependency, got error during build: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/atomicfu.kotlin_module'

Expected behavior Build should work without causing conflicts.

Using ProGuard

• without ProGuard

Device (please complete the following information):

• Device: NA
• OS: NA
• API: 29
• App version 3.5.5-alpha minSdkVersion 21 targetSdkVersion 29 compileSdkVersion 29 gradle 3.5.3 using Java 7

To fix this, had to add following in app level gradle:

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst  'META-INF/*'
}

Any reason why this is happening?
