Re: [Ring] Android Crash; Windows Update; Gnome Tray

Hi Nathan,

I just analyzed the apk files produced by our CI system.
I don't have the same results.
Can you tell us where did you downloaded you apk file from and explain how you 
got theses results?

Furthermore, if you try to compile such an apk, Android studio would throws 
that kind of error:

com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:214)
at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

At this time, our apk compile without any error.

I think I found the cause for the android (kitkat/4.4.2) crash when it
came to calls...

I came across "multidex" in my searching and when I went to analyze
the apk using Android Studio, I see it say it has 29413 methods AND
references 36906 methods, exceeding the 64K method limit.
