Since today (28.03.) the build of my app (CN1 build server) throws an build Exception which I don't understand. The Build yesterday worked without an error. The error from the error-log:

Dex: The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.

Can anybody help me to understand what went wrong?

The error is:

Dex: The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.

In this case, add the build hint: android.multidex=true

As written in the developer guide (link):

android.multidex -> Boolean true/false defaults to false. Multidex allows Android binaries to reference more than 65536 methods. This slows builds a bit so we have it off by default but if you get a build error mentioning this limit you should turn this on.
