[Jason Xie]

Dear Bernhard:
Thanks for reply a lot . I have searched methods to solve this problem in recently days. like this project https://github.com/mmin18/Dex65536 . It using the split the dex to make it work. 
I fail to make it work on soot while I had successfully run the project demo which have more than 65536 method.Do anyone try  these method successfully on soot before?‍‍


Regards&Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,

this is a limitation of the used dalvik byte code. The number of methods cannot be greater than 2^16. I don’t think there is a way to circumvent this fact (except of removing unused functions from soot).
