When developing an application that makes use of a considerable amount of plugins, the number of referenced methods in the generated build can be a problem. In Android, when this number reaches 64K, the build generation will fail. This happens due to the maximum number of referenced methods in the DEX file (Dalvik Executable) being reached.
