Is it possible to use UI for Xamarin forms without enabling Multi-Dex in "Android Options" is VS?
Here is what I did:
1.Created a blank "Cross Platform App (Xamarin forms or native)". Selected "Xamarin.foms" and "shared project".
2. Used Telerik Nuget to add "Telerik.UI.for.Xamarin".
After wasting a lot of time finally got it to compile by enabling "Multi-Dex". But some places you can read that this is not something you want to do for best compatibility with devices.
Thanks.

Hello Wilfred,
UI for Xamarin doesn't contain enough method references by itself to cause the Davlik limit to be hit.
If you do a File > New > TelerikXFApp, you'll see that we include all of the available references possible and still don't need Multi-Dex. Instead, what you could do is increase your heap size to 1G (which is the minimum we recommend).
Here's a screenshot of where to find this setting:
