react native android 64k method limit

When making the build to my application I get these errors:

Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at 
https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
Error:com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 
65536

and several more, according to investigate this error is because the limit of methods was passed, and try to enable the multidex but I still get the same error, in fact and remove all dependencies and follow the same error.  This is my build.gradle with only a few dependencies
