The important part of converting the .class files to classes.dex is the dx utility which is part of the Android toolchain. Apache ANT is only a build system like Make or Gradle (which seems to be /the/ hype for Android development). My first PPCJVM Android app I even built without any build scripts completely by hand (see here: https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_JVM_Android_Development#Building_an_Android_application ). The process might be a bit more involved nowadays, but in principle it will still be the same. TL;DR: the compiler is not the problem. But maybe the build chain needs to be adjusted. Regards, Sven >
