Additional Information

This is a limitation from android multidex build tool, as explained in this document: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html, Limitations of the multidex support library: • There are complex requirements regarding what classes are needed in the primary DEX file when executing in the Dalvik runtime. Android build tooling updates handle the Android requirements, but it is possible that other included libraries have additional dependency requirements including the use of introspection or invocation of Java methods from native code. Some libraries may not be able to be used until the multidex build tools are updated to allow users to specify classes that must be included in the primary DEX file.
