Answer 1

Like the error states you're trying to package the AUTHORS file from different jars; so you should just exclude it from being packaged.

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'AUTHORS' // will not include AUTHORS file
}

You should merge your other packagingOptions files like this

 packagingOptions {
    exclude 'AUTHORS' // will not include AUTHORS file
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' // will not include NOTICE file
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' // will not include LICENSE file
    // as noted by @Vishnuvathsan you may also need to include
    // variations on the file name. It depends on your dependencies.
    // Some other common variations on notice and license file names
    exclude 'META-INF/notice'
    exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/license'
    exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
}
