Failing when method number is exceeding about dexcount-gradle-plugin

[benjamin-bader]

Hi, the plugin won't fail, but it won't be invoked. If your build exceeds the method limit, dex will fail, and the build will stop. This happens before the plugin's task gets executed, as the plugin depends on the output of dex.

In other words, if you're over the limit, the plugin will not tell you by how much.

Thank you!

Is there a way for it to do so? I'm already over the limit, and I don't know by how much.

You could enable multidex, then build again. We need an .apk or an .aar in order to tally up the methods; if you can't build one, then there's nothing we can do.
