Ranorex Forum

Hi,
I'm new to Ranorex and I had a problem recently trying to deploy .apk file to Android device.

Here are the screenshots from Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard:
Also screen with Android SDK Manager Info installed on my PC:
Detailed info concerning error:

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: 66637

System info:

Ranorex version 6.1.1,
Ms Windows 7 64-bit,

Considering making sure of potential reasons of the problem which are mentioned on screen,
1. The APK is not obfuscated,
2. The API are using is 17 (Android 4.2.2)
3. No other version on APK is not installed on the device.

Please, help overcome this problem since we are about to decide whether or not moving to Ranorex for mobile automate testing.

Hi Tomek,

Please try to set the instrumentation flag "-multidex" in the instrumentation wizard's settings.
Therefore, go to the instrumentation wizard and click on "Settings".
Afterwards, add "-multidex" to the field "Instrumentation Flags".
Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
asdf

Thanks asdf, it helps..
Although there was another problem with timeout's , but I overcome this with settings in Ranorex Recorder package.
