I want to add a Google Cloud Messaging backend to my android application (just one of the available samples). To do this, I am following the official documentation. I am deploying on my phone (a Samsung A5 with Android 5.0.2)
Before I add the backend, the application can be deployed normally.
After I add the backend, the backend can be deployed normally on the Google AppEngine dev server, and I can see it in my browser.
However, when I try to deploy the application on my device, I am getting the error in the end.
Does it have to do with my Java version (1.8)?
I noticed that dex is mentioned in the stacktrace, so perhaps it has to do with the method number limit? I wouldn't expect that, since it's a very small sample application, I don't think I may have exceeded the 64K methods.
Finally, I found a similar question, but it did not help.
