					"body": "I've confirmed that multidex support for Android 4.x isn't reliable and will mostly likely crash on app startup. For now, the only reliable work-around is to set the min supported Android OS version to 5.0 by adding the following to your \"tiapp.xml\" file...\r\n\r\n{code:xml}\r\n<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n<ti:app xmlns:ti=\"http://ti.appcelerator.org\">\r\n\t<android xmlns:android=\"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android\">\r\n\t\t<manifest>\r\n\t\t\t<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=\"21\" android:targetSdkVersion=\"25\"/>\r\n\t\t</manifest>\r\n\t</android>\r\n</ti:app>\r\n{code}\r\n\r\n*Technical Reason:*\r\nThe Titanium build tools needs to embed the \"TiApplication\" Java class and all of the Java classes it uses into the main dex file. This is because the application class needs to enable multidex support on Android 4.x, but the application class and its members need to be loaded successfully from the main dex file before doing so. This involves us passing a \"--main-dex-list\" command line argument when building a multidex app. This will never be a problem on Android 5.0 and above since those OS versions have built-in multidexing support.\r\n",
