Adding "api 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2'" to the application module fixes the issue. But adding "implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2'" doesn't.

Can you please share your build.gradle files (for application and android library), as I am unable to reproduce?
From the screenshot, classes8.dex contains only references to the MultiDexApplication, it does not contain definitions of the class. If you execute `dexdump <path_to_apk>` are you able to see the definition of MultiDexApplication?

The difference when building from Studio is that we take into consideration the API of the device you are deploying to, so we might change legacy multidex build to a native multidex one. It looks like the device you are deploying to has API 25, so that is why APK differs when building from the command line and when building from the IDE. In legacy multidex we have requirements due to DalvikVM which classes are in the main dex, and that's why MultiDexApplication is in the classes.dex. However, for native multidex, ART is able to load classes from any classes<N>.dex file. So it is strange that the runtime is unable to find MultiDexApplication, when it's clearly in classes13.dex.
What is the device that you are trying to deploy the app to? From the screenshots it looks like it's a Chromebook?

Note: The actual dialog depends on whether you're using "Project" or "Android" view in the project window. Both show LinearLayout by default, shown in screenshots attached.
