I am not sure what this error means.

Execution failed for task ':excelSior:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: android/support/v4/util/TimeUtils.class

I am currently using android-support-v4.jar for my libraries

dependencies {
    compile project(':addThisSDK')
    compile project(':centeredContentButton')
    compile project(':googleplayservices_lib')
    compile files('libs/adxtag2.4.6.jar')
    compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar')
    compile files('libs/aws-android-sdk-1.7.1.1-debug.jar')
    compile files('libs/commons-lang-2.6.jar')
    compile files('libs/crittercism_v4_4_0_sdkonly.jar')
    compile files('libs/dd-plist.jar')
    compile files('libs/FiksuAndroidSDK_4.1.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/iqengines-sdk-barcode.jar')
    compile files('libs/irEventTracker-1.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/jolt-core-0.0.7.jar')
    compile files('libs/json-utils-0.0.7.jar')
    compile files('libs/jsoup-1.7.2.jar')
    compile files('libs/kooaba-api-v4-java.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Error does not show up during gradle sync. Just when I try to run the application

What could be the problem?

You've probably fixed this by now but just so this doesn't stay unanswered, Try adding this to your build.gradle:

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
