Android-Studio-1.2.RC Proguard warnings on Square's Okio library reference

Question

WIth Android Studio: 1.2.RC

I enabled proguard in .gradle: ```

minifyEnabled=true

and added these rules to my proguard-rules.pro:

-dontwarn com.squareup.**
-dontwarn okio.**

and added these lint rules to my .gradle file:

warningsAsErrors false
abortOnError false
disable 'InvalidPackage'

```

But I still get these warning when I try to run the app in debug mode:

```
Warning: okio.DeflaterSink: can't find referenced class org.codehaus.mojo.animal_sniffer.IgnoreJRERequirement
Warning: okio.Okio: can't find referenced class java.nio.file.Files

         You may need to add missing library jars or update their versions.
         If your code works fine without the missing classes, you can suppress
         the warnings with '-dontwarn' options.
         (http://proguard.sourceforge.net/manual/troubleshooting.html#unresolvedclass)
:app:proguardDebug FAILED

```

It's so weird since I also added these rules/options to all my library modules that depend on OkHttp/Picasso, I don't know where went wrong, perhaps this is a Android Studio bug ? Does anyone have any clues to this problem ?

I have opened an issue on github.

Answer 1

You've disable warnings for

-dontwarn com.squareup.**
-dontwarn okio.**

But what about for packages (as seen in your posted log)

-dontwarn org.codehaus
-dontwarn java.nio

Either way, ignoring warnings is not a good approach.

Try keeping these classes from being minified like so:

-keep public class org.codehaus.**
-keep public class java.nio.**

Oh Christ, I forgot to specify the proguard file for my debug build, adding the 'proguardFiles' rule would solve the problem:

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        debug {
            debuggable false
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
        }
    }

One of those moments you searched hard for your keys and it's right in your pocket.
