I've been using android studio for a few weeks. I started having issues deploying my project. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
I tracked it down through a few recent posts and have everything updated to the latest (gradle 2.10; classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6' )... previously I was using com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3 .. but now I get "plugin is too old update to a more recent...." If I select Build->Build APK I get a app-debug.apk that can install, and it contains a classes.dex; if I click the debug button, and allow it to build and deploy that way, it generates a app-debug.apk that doesn't have a classes.dex and does not install. I noticed in a diff between the log for Build APK and the Debug ... (fails) :app:coldswapKickerDebug :app:fastDeployDebugExtractor UP-TO-DATE :app:generateDebugInstantRunAppInfo UP-TO-DATE :app:transformClassesWithInstantRunSlicerForDebug UP-TO-DATE (works) :app:fastDeployDebugExtractor UP-TO-DATE :app:generateDebugInstantRunAppInfo UP-TO-DATE I saw in http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system *2.0.0-alpha5 (2016/1/14)* - Instant Run - *Implemented cold start (when code change cannot be applied with hot swap) - on pre-lollipop releases with Dalvik, restart.dex are produces each time a cold start is necessary - on lollipop, leverage multi dexes to slice applications in multiple dexes and rebuild/redeliver minimum set of dexes necessary. - on marshmallow, leverage split APK to deliver multi dexes. * May be related? I tried to set back to alpha3 but then it fails to build with the plugin out of date error... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
