Is patching supported for multi-DEX applications?

Yes, it is. For solutions such as Google MultiDex, the latest patch tool integrates multiple DEX files into a single, complete DEX file. The tool then analyzes the differences between the old and new DEX files to create a patch package. This process ensures that a patch package is created correctly, regardless of the number of DEX files that the APK contains.

Note: Patch packages can be created only for APKs that are not hardened. Hardening changes the DEX structure of an APK, causing patch generation to fail.
