FileNotFoundException ella.runtime.dex about ella HOT 2 OPEN

You cannot ignore this error. "ella.runtime.dex" is the dex version of the runtime classes that gets injected into the instrumented APK.

Do you have "dx" in your "PATH"? If not, you have to set the "ella.buildtools.dir" variable in ella.settings as follows.

android.buildtools.dir=/Users/saswat/software/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/20.0.0/
