Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
        
    

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]
        
    

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.eyyoung:DexFixPlugin:1.0.1'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.eyyoung:DexFixPlugin:1.0.1")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.eyyoung</groupId>
	    <artifactId>DexFixPlugin</artifactId>
	    <version>1.0.1</version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.eyyoung" % "DexFixPlugin" % "1.0.1"
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.eyyoung/DexFixPlugin "1.0.1"]]

DexFixPlugin

Purpose

Fix "Too many classes in –main-dex-list"

Need To Know

  • Gradle Plugin Must >=2.2.0-beta2
  • Avoid the Main Application Class Dep too much Class
  • Not Support Instant Run Function
  • JDK >= 1.8

Install

Add Class Path

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
	}
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.eyyoung:DexFixPlugin:1.0.0'
}

Options

Use Custom Rules DSL

dexFix {
    mainDexRules './mainDexClasses.rules'
}

Rules

Use Proguard Rules to Keep class in main dex and Prevent Class not found Exception

Example 1

-keep public class * extends android.app.Instrumentation {
	<init>();
}
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application {
	<init>();
	void attachBaseContext(android.content.Context);
}

Example 2

Keep Extend and Annotation Class

  -keep public class * extends com.nd.smartcan.commons.util.language.AppFactoryJSBridge {
       *;
  }

  -keep class com.nd.smartcan.commons.util.language.AppFactoryJSBridge.**{*;}

  # We need to keep all annotation classes because proguard does not trace annotation attribute
  # it just filter the annotation attributes according to annotation classes it already kept.
  -keep public class * extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation {
	*;
  }
