Worklight push notification not working after applying proguard - android

I am using IBM's mobilefirst worklight version 6.3 for push notification. Everything works fine when i dont apply proguard.
When i apply proguard and run the build while subscribing for the push notification only i get the following exception.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to find the icon resource. Add the icon file under the /res/drawable folder.
I have the push.png named file in the drawable folder.
Any suggestions on how to handle that on the proguard or is it a worklights bug?
had the same issue with another third party library but it was resolved when i added keep class com.classname.** {*;} i did the same for worklight as well -keep class com.worklight.** {*;} but it is of no use.
below is the proguard configuration that i have used
-keepclassmembers class * {
#android.webkit.JavascriptInterface <methods>;
}
-keep class com.google.gson.Gson
-keep class com.billdesk.** {*;}
-keep public class com.worklight.** {*;}
-dontwarn com.worklight.**
-dontwarn com.auth0.jwt.**
-dontwarn com.squareup.picasso.**
-dontwarn com.viewpagerindicator.**
-dontwarn org.bouncycastle.**

MobileFirst 6.3 does not officially support obfuscation using Proguard.
Even so, an Android project obfuscated using Proguard works fine without issues in most cases.
I am not able to recreate the issue you mention.I tested the MFP 6.3 Eventsource notifications sample after obfuscating with Proguard and the application worked fine. No runtime exceptions were seen.
Android SDK Tools : 25.1.1
Target API Level : 19
Proguard version : 4.7
To begin with:
Ensure that push.png is present in all drawable folders and not just the generic one.
Check the proguard obfusction logs to see if "push.png" is being crunched in all folders and look for error messages.
Modify the proguard configuration to contain-
-keepclassmembers enum * {
public static **[] values();
public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}
-keepattributes InnerClasses
-keep class **.R
-keep class **.R$* {
<fields>;
}
-keep class org.apache.cordova.** { *; }
-keep public class * extends org.apache.cordova.CordovaPlugin
-keep class com.worklight.androidgap.push.** { *; }
-keep class com.worklight.wlclient.push.** { *; }
-keep class com.worklight.common.security.AppAuthenticityToken { *; }
-keep class com.google.** { *;}
-dontwarn com.google.common.**
-dontwarn com.google.ads.**
-dontwarn com.worklight.androidgap.push.GCMIntentService
-dontwarn com.worklight.androidgap.plugin.WLInitializationPlugin
-dontwarn com.worklight.wlclient.push.GCMIntentService
-dontwarn org.bouncycastle.**
-dontwarn com.worklight.nativeandroid.common.WLUtils

How to stop proguard from removing joda time resources on Android

I use ProGuard and Joda Time in my Android application (of course, I use a version optimized for Android: https://github.com/dlew/joda-time-android). I ran into the problem that with optimization and obfuscation turned on, I get an error when I try to use PeriodFormat:
java.util.MissingResourceException: can't find resource for bundle java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key PeriodFormat.space
I compared the contents of the APK when building with and without proguard and saw that the org/joda/time/format directory in the non-optimized version contains 15 properties files, and only 9 in the optimized version. In these files I saw the PeriodFormat.space keys, so leaves no doubt that the exception caused by the loss of these files.
How to configure proguard so that the contents of this directory are transferred to the optimized APK without any optimizations?
I already use the following rules for Joda Time:
-dontwarn org.joda.convert.**
-dontwarn org.joda.time.**
-keep class org.joda.** { *; }
-keep interface org.joda.** { *; }
-keepdirectories org.joda.**
However, they are not enough, because the files still disappear.
java.util.MissingResourceException: can't find resource for bundle
java.util.PropertyResourceBundle, key PeriodFormat.space
Don't
-keep class org.joda.** { *; }
-keep interface org.joda.** { *; }
Do
-keep class org.joda.time.** { *; }
-keep interface org.joda.time.** { *; }
Your proguard will be
-dontwarn org.joda.convert.**
-dontwarn org.joda.time.**
-keep class org.joda.time.** { *; }
-keep interface org.joda.time.** { *; }
Read -keep options.

Proguard doesnt obfuscate Class name, only methods are obfuscated

I try using Proguard in android studio, but seems like Proguard is not obfuscating the class name, for example, my app structure, and the config:
and config
but when i try trigger the exception in the app:
the exception is listed in ADB console:
only the methods are obfuscated, the MainActivity.class is not
This is an expected behaviour because the class is an activity!
All classes that are mentioned in AndroidManifest.xml have to keep their names (activities, services, providers, receivers, application, instrumentation). Otherwise the system won't be able to find them.
Gradle build automatically generates some rules for your ProGuard configuration to achieve this. It scans AndroidManifest.xml and adds rules for each class found there.
If you want to see all the rules that are used, add this line to your ProGuard rules:
-printconfiguration "build/outputs/mapping/configuration.txt"
It will create configuration.txt file containing all the rules.
There should be something like this:
# view AndroidManifest.xml #generated:50
-keep class com.github.browep.proguard.MainActivity {
<init>(...);
}
I was facing the same problems,
After updating my Android plugin for Gradle, Proguard stop obfuscating my utility and other class files.
After few searching, I found that Android studio gradle now uses newer version of Proguard.
And according to this stack-overflow answer, which stated that:
proguard automatically add rules specific for android/google package.
Therefore, After few rule changes in my app, Proguard obfuscated the class names again.

Release version with proguard issues - GSON

If I build my app in debug it works perfectly. However, when I build for release with proguard, I get several errors and then the build fails. The error summary:
Warning:there were 445 unresolved references to classes or interfaces.
Warning:there were 13 instances of library classes depending on program classes.
I modified my proguard-rules.txt file as shown below. This allowed the build to succeed, but when I install the app, the amazon downloads do not work (works in the debug version).
-keep class org.xmlpull.v1.**
-keep class org.apache.http.**
-keep class org.ietf.jgss.**
-keep class com.amazonaws.services.**
-keep class org.w3c.dom.bootstrap.**
-dontwarn org.xmlpull.v1.**
-dontwarn org.apache.http.**
-dontwarn org.ietf.jgss.**
-dontwarn com.amazonaws.services.**
-dontwarn org.w3c.dom.bootstrap.**
Any suggestions as to how I can get this fixed please?
Update:
Have narrowed it down to a GSON/JSONPARSER issue. For the release version, JSONPARSER does not convert downloaded json to a supplied class like it does in debug. The GSON proguard rules (see update 2 ) have also been added but the issue persists.

-libraryjars libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-3.3.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Update 2
# Gson uses generic type information stored in a class file when working with fields. Proguard
# removes such information by default, so configure it to keep all of it.
-keepattributes Signature
# For using GSON #Expose annotation
-keepattributes *Annotation*
# Gson specific classes
-keep class sun.misc.Unsafe { *; }
-keep class com.google.gson.stream.** { *; }
# Application classes that will be serialized/deserialized over Gson
-keep class com.google.gson.examples.android.model.** { *; }
Finally solved. GSON could not convert my JSON into a class using the fromJson method as proguard had obfuscated my class's fields. I had to add for each of my classes used during json deserialization:
-keepclassmembers class fully.qualified.path.to.class$innerclass {
private <fields>;
}
As per usual, no mention of this in the GSON docs. This was a project I took over - I personally have never used GSON and wont do so in future.
A few notes to those facing similar issues:
Always make sure when you use a library to include all the
recommended (by the library - see their web pages) entries in your
proguard-rules.text file.
They have mentioned in the comments in the second last line of update2.
# Application classes that will be serialized/deserialized over Gson
-keep class com.google.gson.examples.android.model.** { *; }
Change the last line to your actual path inside code to classes that will be serialized. Don't copy paste as it is. Example:
-keep class com.myclass.model.** { *; }
That worked for me.

How do you make a signed & obfuscated android release build from inside eclipse?

My android development process is to build and debug my app in eclipse and when I'm ready to publish I produce a signed, obfuscated (with proguard) apk by running "ant release" from the shell.
Is it possible to produce a signed, proguard release from within eclipse? I'm using eclipse indigo on windows with version 13 of the ADK
Yes. Once you enable ProGuard by adding the proguard.config=proguard.cfg entry to project.properties, Eclipse will obfuscate your code when you export an signed package. Details here.
BTW, you should upgrade to the latest ADT (15).
Use this in proguard files of yours you can able to make obfuscated build after enabling proguard in release/debug build.

How to make Proguard ignore external libraries?

I want to use Proguard mainly for obfuscation reasons.
My problem is that I have three libraries, Twitter4J and two signpost libraries. These libraries caused errors when I tried to create an signed APK. To get over this I put the following in the proguard.config file...
-dontwarn org.apache.commons.codec.binary.**
-dontwarn org.slf4j.**
-dontwarn com.sun.syndication.io.**
-dontwarn com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.*
While this got rid of the errors in the console, when i loaded my signed APK onto my mobile phone it instantly crashed. The DDMS said this was due to a class not found in Twitter4J.
Getting rid of the "dontwarns" above did not help. Neither did adding dontshrink dontoptimise.
I would like Proguard to completely ignore the libraries (as they are open source anyway). Is this possible?
Try this:
-keep class javax.** { *; }
-keep class org.** { *; }
-keep class twitter4j.** { *; }
Cf post from #CaspNZ:
Android Proguard with external jar
You should be able to add to the proguard.cfg the following lines to exclude all classes within a package (and subpackages)
-keep class org.apache.commons.codec.binary.**
-keep interface org.apache.commons.codec.binary.**
-keep enum org.apache.commons.codec.binary.**
-keep class org.slf4j.**
-keep interface org.slf4j.**
-keep enum org.slf4j.**
-keep class com.sun.syndication.io.**
-keep interface com.sun.syndication.io.**
-keep enum com.sun.syndication.io.**
-keep class com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.**
-keep interface com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.**
-keep enum com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.**
I'd like to add that you should sync your project with Gradle files after adding proguard rules, otherwise they may not work.
