2. Enable MultiDex in Edit -> Plugins -> Misc -> MultiDex.

   

If you have Gradle disabled

1. Go to [PROJECT_FOLDER]/Build/Android/

   a) If you already have created custom_rules.xml file, simply add:

   <import file="custom_rules_multidex.xml" optional="true" />

   b) If you don't have created custom_rules.xml file yet, copy it from [PLUGIN_FOLDER]/Extras/custom_rules.xml.

2. Add new environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS = -Xmx2048m -Xms256m -Xss8m

   Example for Windows: Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> Uses variables for X -> New...
