Dex version 040 is not supported

Dex version 040 is not supported - UnsupportedFile Exception

It would be great if ApkTool/Baksmali could be updated to support dex version 040.

Description:

I encountered an issue while trying to decompile an APK using ApkTool/Baksmali. The error message indicates that .dex version 040 is not supported, which prevents the tool from successfully decoding the APK.

Error Message:

I: Baksmaling classes.dex...
