Answer 1

I think we cannot enable --core-library via dexOptions.

We know that dexOptions delegated to a com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.DexOptions object, which implements com.android.builder.core.DexOptions.

From the source code, we know it doesn't support --core-library.

From Issue 79280: dexOptions in gradle plugin don't support coreLibrary

You can do it manually by

• disable pre-dexing (this is because our cache would have issues if we allow adding extra params)
• modify the Dex tasks to add --core-library as an extra parameters.
