最近在使用 FlowDroid 的2.13的Jar包分析一些 Android 应用，在分析其他应用的时候一切工作正常。但是当分析到自己用 Android Studio 编写的应用时，就会出现如下的报错：

[main] WARN soot.dexpler.DexFileProvider - Multiple dex files detected, only processing 'classes.dex'. Use '-process-multiple-dex' option to process them all.

我们通过分析错误日志，不难定位到发生的问题是 ARSC文件（即resources.arsc文件）导致的

我发现 FlowDroid 的 Github 上 2.14 版本更新日志为

The new version of FlowDroid supports recent additions to the ARSC file format for Android as well as Java streams.

这就解释了我为何会遇到上述的错误，将 FlowDroid 自己构建为最新版本即可。重新构建即去下载源码包，执行：

mvn install -DskipTests

你就可以在类似这样的目录下发现构建好的 jar 包

FlowDroid-2.14.1\soot-infoflow-cmd\target

这个问题主要是因为现在很多教程还在使用老的 FlowDroid 而没有更新，故记录一下
