Please help! Appodeal API causing Too many method references: 71656; max is 65536.

Update!
For those who face similar issue.

There are two solutions to this problem.

1. Reduce method counts by removing ad networks
1. Remove inmobi and mmedia folders Assets\Plugins\Android
2. Then before Appodeal.initialize(...), use these two methods.
Appodeal.disableNetwork("inmobi");
Appodeal.disableNetwork("mmedia");

2. Use -nodex package of and SDK and enabling multidex (either by exporting to Android Studio or using custom gradle template)


I'm trying to integrate Appodeal API into my game and got an error when I try building a test project.

There was no luck with google and I'm still waiting a response from the support team.

FYI, I do not want to use Gradle for the --multi-dex option. I tried this, it does not work and takes a lot of time to build.


The error from the console:

CommandInvokationFailure: Unable to convert classes into dex format.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\bin\java.exe -Xmx2048M -Dcom.android.sdkmanager.toolsdir="C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Android/sdk\tools" -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -jar "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer/Tools\sdktools.jar" -

You may try using --multi-dex option.

Update:

I found this on the Appodeal Android SDK Documentation.

It does provide an Android SDK for the 64k limit, but the Unity Package which can be found here, does not have an alternative.

 

I had your exact same problem. I followed this guide https://appmediation.com/unity-enable-multidex/

The only problem I had with it was configuring for a minimum API level under 20. I set my minimum level to 21 in the end to save the hassle and it built. Hope this helps!

 

Thanks so much! This is really useful!
