Description

The dex2jar is only running on the first classes.dex file and putting this into a .jar. So the whole decompiling is only done on a split part of the whole apk code. This can be fixed by updating to dex2jar 2.1 and using it directly on the apk. dex2jar 2.1 supports multidex

Research direction

No source file or test is named; start by locating the dex2jar invocation in the Python code and inspect how the APK's dex files are selected and converted. Verify that dex2jar 2.1 processes the full multidex APK and that the resulting decompilation includes all dex contents.
