Differences between debuggable and not debuggable builds in android studio? - android

This question is related to a problem with my firebase, having the "debuggable true" option, which impact has in my program apart of enable testing?
When I configure another build or just the same but with "debuggable=false" the firebase can't be serialized. Why is this happening? Thanks
I though the proguard could be the solution but I'm using this build and changing debuggable to false is the problem.
Update
With proguard enabled or not, the result is the same with these permissions (I dont want any change in my code):
-dontwarn com.firebase.**
-dontoptimize
-keep class acr.acr_app.** { *; }
-keep class com.firebase.** { *; }
Gradle.Build
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
debuggable true
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
Udpate 2
I updated the libraries with no effect, somebody can help me a bit? How run app compile the app?

Proguard don't offuscate assets ( how to ? )

On my release build I use :
release {
minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
but I have in my assets some *.json files that I want to exclude from offuscation because at runtime all the values from my *.json files are null
I use but with error some rullez :
-keep org.json.**
-keep json.**
I have also faced same problem, but after excluding model classes from proguard, it will work.
-keep class com.packege.db.entity.** {*;}

Proguard Invalid class reference: android/support/v4/app/Fragment

I've been trying to get Proguard to work in this libgdx app of mine for hours, and I can't get past this error when I try running it:
Error:Execution failed for task
':android:transformClassesWithNewClassShrinkerForDebug'. >
com.android.build.gradle.shrinker.ClassLookupException: Invalid class
reference: android/support/v4/app/Fragment
I've tried adding a ton of different rules to proguard-rules.pro, nothing seems to work. Here are some of the rules I've tried:
dontwarn android.support.**
keep class android.support.v4.* { *; }
keep public class * extends android.support.v4.
keep public class * extends android.app.Fragment
dontwarn **CompatHoneycomb
keep class android.support.v4.** { *; }
optimizationpasses 5
keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable
keep class android.support.** { *; }
Here's what my buildTypes look like in my Android build.gradle
buildTypes {
debug {
minifyEnabled true
useProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
Edit
This is definitely a LibGDX problem, I tried it with a blank LibGDX project and I get the exact same error.

Android Proguard have some trouble with AVG Antivirus

I made an android app that always worked fine. Suddenly, the AVG Antivirus reported that my app is a malware. After a couple hours, I found the issue:
In the build.gradle, if I use the config below to generate signed APK, AVG reports (the APK) as malware:
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
But if I comment the last line, no threat is found:
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true
minifyEnabled true
//proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
My proguard-rules.pro has nothing special:
-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepattributes EnclosingMethod
-keep class io.codetail.animation.arcanimator.** { *; }
-keep class com.example.viewholders.** {
*;
}
-keep class com.android.vending.billing.**
-keep class cn.pedant.SweetAlert.Rotate3dAnimation {
public <init>(...);
}
-keepclassmembers class com.example.models.** {
*;
}
I'm using Android Studio 2.2.2 and my project uses Firebase. The AVG Antivirus version that I have in my android device is 5.9.0.1.224656.
The "malware" identified by AVG is Android/gp oi bccfdd.
Is there something that I can do to solve this problem?
Finally I got a solution. Just to change this line:
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
With this:
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
According to Android Studio User Guide:
"Tip: For even more code shrinking, try the proguard-android-optimize.txt file that's in the same location. It includes the same ProGuard rules, but with other optimizations that perform analysis at the bytecode level—inside and across methods—to reduce your APK size further and help it run faster."
Unfortunately, as I realized, this can cause false detections of malware by antivirus.

Android: minification obfuscating dynamically accessed classes

I am using Samsung's Motion library to create a pedometer for Samsung phones. When I create an APK without minification in the gradle configuration file the system works. However when I try to apply minification before releasing to the store,
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
signingConfig signingConfigs.config
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
}
I got errors claiming the some libraries (e.g. android.hardware.motion) do not exist.
I have checked and:
android.hardware.motion is not a standard library (probably existing only in Samsung phones?) in android.hardware
these classes are accesses dynamically (maybe because non standard?), e.g. Class.forName("android.hardware.scontext.SContextManager");
If I remove the line
minifyEnabled true
I got no error, so it must be the code obfuscation.
I have tried to add to my proguard rules file statements such as
-keep class android.hardware.** { *; }
-keep class com.samsung.android.sdk.** { *; }
but this does not seem to work.
Any idea? Thanks!
The missing classes are indeed only available on the actual device.
In order to let ProGuard process your application, you will have to include the following configuration:
-dontwarn com.samsung.android.sdk.motion.**
-dontnote com.samsung.android.sdk.motion.**
This will ignore the warnings and notes originating from the samsung sdk.

Using proguard with espresso/androidTest

I'm trying to configure proguard to use it with my espresso UI test flavor. The thing is Proguard tends to ignore my debug proguard config.
This is how the config looks:
buildTypes {
debug {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles 'proguard-debug.pro'
testProguardFile 'proguard-debug.pro'
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
}
I added testProguardFile but it doesn't seem to work on androidTest. I'm running mockDebug flavor variant. When I just run the app it works fine, but when I try to run test which is located in adnroidTest it won't run due to proguard warnings, like the proguard file wasn't processed at all and the file is pretty straight forward:
proguard-debug.pro
-dontobfuscate
-dontoptimize
-dontwarn
Before someone starts to advise me turning off proguard for debug builds: I need to have it enabled because of multidex.
If you want your test build as close as possible from the real deal, try this one:
# build.gradle
debug {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
testProguardFile 'proguard-test.pro'
}
and
# proguard-test.pro:
-include proguard-rules.pro
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable
On other hand, if you need it only because multidex, if your are using minSdkVersion < 21, ProGuard is tied to multidex flag and run automatically.
You also need to add the default proguard rules:
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt')
This line can be removed, as it is a duplicate:
testProguardFile 'proguard-debug.pro'
