Error while instrumenting Android Application

Post by ravikohli2002 » Tue Dec 20, 2016 5:04 pm

I am facing error when instrumenting apk. Error details:
System.Exception: Failed to recompile the instrumented code. See details for more information: Exception in thread "main" org.jf.util.ExceptionWithContext: Unsigned short value out of range: 65752

This blocks from using Ranorex further. Please provide your suggestions. I am using latest version of Ranorex.

Thanks,

Hi Ravi,

In order to overcome your issue, please add "-static" and "-multidex" to your instrumentation flags.
Therefore, open the "Settings" dialog in the Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard.

Afterwards, please add the mentioned flags in the instrumentation options.
