Description

I tried to File->Add a multidex APK into BCV, though it doesnt' works. Will it be supported in future updates or maybe this is hard to implement? I'm not really understand about the reversing mechanism but it seems that the origin apktool can find all .dex files in it.
Also, will the directly view of .smali files be supported? Including the syntax and also the decompiled view just like the greatly user-friendly UI of the .class files.
Thanks for the BCV project!!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure when adding a multidex APK to BCV and compare its handling with apktool's discovery of all .dex files. Define done as successful multidex APK support and direct .smali viewing with syntax highlighting plus a decompiled view comparable to .class files.
