:transformClassesWithDexForF0F1F2Debug FAILED

[jiwonyune]

I added the firbase plugin into my app.

I initially had this error:

:transformClassesWithDexForF0F1F2Debug

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

So I tried to fix it with the following code from this link (NativeScript/android#344):

android {
    defaultConfig {
        // Enabling multidex support.
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

But, then, I get this error...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

By the way, I rebuild my android platform everytime I get an error, just in case.

For your information:

This is what my app.gradle looks like right now:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.indoorcycling.android"
    multiDexEnabled true
    generatedDensities = []
  }
  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Other files, like build.gradle, package.json, or google-services.json, look good.

How can I fix this error? It doesn't look so simple and seems like it requires some understanding of Android Native. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I found a solution. I am no longer getting the error after I changed app.gradle as follows:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.indoorcycling.android"
    multiDexEnabled true
    generatedDensities = []
  }
  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
  dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
  }
}

Thanks to this: NativeScript/nativescript-cli#1542 (comment)

Ha, just wanted to say that (the javaMaxHeapSize bit) - I'm adding it to the readme
