Obfuscate only one flavour

Question

How would i go about obfuscating just one flavour.

Unfortunately flavour 2 relies on a module (jar) that uses some duplication of classes, and i cannot obfuscate it due to the way it is set up. (3rd party) So wish to skip obfuscating the flavour.

I do not seem able to define minifyENabled false in the flavours section, or add the flavour to the build section.

Note, there are actually 6 flavours in total. The desire is to pick and choose flavours that should be obfuscated

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

    productFlavors {
        flavour1{
            applicationId "uk.co.company.flavour1"
        }
        flavour2{
            applicationId "uk.co.company.flavour2"
        }
   }

Answer 1

As long as there is not present minifyEnabled in ProductFlavor DSL object, then you have to create another buildType, e.g. releaseMinified along with standard release.

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
    }
    releaseMinified {
        minifyEnabled true
    }
}

productFlavors {
    minifiableFlavor{}
    nonMinifiableFlavor{}
}

And enable this build type only for the flavor that needs that:

android.variantFilter { variant ->
    if (variant.buildType.name.equals('releaseMinified') && !variant.getFlavors().get(0).name.equals('nonMinifiableFlavor')) {
        variant.setIgnore(true);
    } else if (variant.buildType.name.equals('release') && variant.getFlavors().get(0).name.equals('nonMinifiableFlavor')){
        variant.setIgnore(true);
    }
}

Then you'll end up with:
