This pull request addresses the issue where Soot fails to build large Android applications with a
minSdkVersion
< 22 due to the absence of multi-dex support for API versions < 22, resulting in Soot throwing aRuntimeException

Given that Android API versions >= 22 come with built-in multi-dex support, these applications would theoretically work on devices running newer Android versions.To allow Soot users to build such APKs, this pull request introduces an option to explicitly ignore dex overflows. The option can be enabled by calling
Options.v().set_ignore_dex_overflow(true)

RuntimeException
is attached below.Uploading com.mathgamesplayground.zip…
