How to use new Android 2.0 Shrinker and Resource Shrinker together?

Question

I am trying to use the new Shrinker for debug builds (at 3:14)

Also I want to enable shrinking unused resources after that.

My config is

        debug {
        minifyEnabled true
        useProguard false
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }

But Gradle sync fails with an error message:

Error:Build-in class shrinker and resource shrinking are not supported yet.

Is this possible or I need to enable full proguard to use resource shrinking?

Ryan R is completely right. Just small addition. You could either completely remove useProguard false string from your buildTypeclosure, or set it to useProguard true if you are in release build type.
