While the 65k method limit on the Dex file format was once a problem that could be blissfully ignored, the current reality is that a very large number of developers have already hit this limit, and many others will hit it soon! Before (and even after) you take the MultiDex plunge, there are some significant performance consequences you should be aware of.
This talk is all about MultiDex: what it is, why it’s necessary, how it works, what the real consequences are (with data), and some tricks you can use to get around these issues.
