multi-dex option

[rafaeliga]

Hey,

I was trying to add the Google maps library to my project and Im getting this error:

"trouble writing output: Too many field references: 67853; max is 65536. You may try using --multi-dex option"

Reference: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html

I tried to look at motion-gradle code to add the option that Google suggests: add "multiDexEnabled true" to build.gradle, but seems that the motion-gradle's build.gradle its a java one and I cant add android options, Im not sure about this java part, but that was I found googling/searching for the error too.

Thanks!

Not right now, but in the future Im going to use the other Play Services, I tried this too, same error:

app.gradle do
dependency 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0'
dependency 'com.android.support:design:24.0.0'
dependency 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.0.0'

@MarkVillacampa @Watson1978 I have the feeling this multi-dex option should be supported in RubyMotion toolchain and not in motion-gradle

I mean the problem is not when we pull dependencies, it works, but when we build the app I think. So there's should probably be a flag in RMA config 'multi_dex', and the only thing motion-gradle should do automatically is (pseudo code):

if config.multi_dex
  if config.api_level < 21
    gradle_dependencies << 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
  end
end

But adding the --multi-dex flag should happen when the app is compiled IMO.
Let me know what you think.
