How do I disable proguard for building my Android app?

Question

It used to be that proguard was controlled by project.properties, but that's no longer the case, and the Android documentation has not been updated. The project.properties file now clearly states that the it is generated by Android Tools and changes will be erased. I've tried commenting out the proguard.config line, but when I compile, it rewrites the project.properties, and continues to use proguard. What is the current method of disabling proguard? Thanks!

# This file is automatically generated by Android Tools. # Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED! # # This file must be checked in Version Control Systems. # # To customize properties used by the Ant build system edit # "ant.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your # project structure. # # To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home): proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt:proguard-google-api-client.txt  # Project target. target=android-17 android.library.reference.1=../../../../android-sdk-linux/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib 

Answer 1

set this

minifyEnabled false 

in your app build.gradle

Like this:

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