Proguard and Preference DataStore

Question

I use proguard on my project which is used android DataStore. It worked fine without proguard. But when it is obfuscated with proguard the following error occured:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Field preferences_ for f.k.k.h not found. Known fields are [public f.k.k.l.k0 f.k.k.h.i, public static final f.k.k.h f.k.k.h.j, public static volatile f.k.k.l.x0 f.k.k.h.k]
        at f.k.k.l.s0.K(Unknown Source:62)

        at f.k.i.e(Unknown Source:48)
        at f.k.i.f(:2)
        at f.k.i.d(:4)
        at f.k.i$b.e(:4)
        at i.n.j.a.a.l(:2)
        at d.a.p0.run(:4)
        at d.a.f2.a.u(Unknown Source:0)
        at d.a.f2.a$a.run(:7)

There is no proguard rule mentioned in the official document. Should I add some rules to my project to prevent DataStore from obfuscation?

Answer 1

It was solved when I add the following rule to my project:

-keep class androidx.datastore.*.** {*;}

I have reported it to the google, you can follow it there:
