I've develop an app in android studio. It works fine in debug version but when I try to create a release version with proguard, hundreds of warnings appear and I'm not able to get rid of them using -keep option.
My build.gradle is
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
android {

I don't know why, for example, adding -keep class jp.wasabeef.** {*;} do not dissapear warnings concerning to jp.wasabeef.
Can anyone help me?
To debug Proguard/R8 configuration one can assemble release build and navigate to app\build\outputs\mapping\release . There you'll see the following files: configuration. txt – merged file with all configurations – from your app, default Android, AAPT, all the libraries, etc.
R8 is having a faster processing time than Proguard which reduces build time. R8 gives better output results than Proguard. R8 reduces the app size by 10 % whereas Proguard reduces app size by 8.5 %.
Building in debug mode does not invoke ProGuard, because it makes debugging more cumbersome.
For example, the useProGuard setting has been deprecated a while ago - maybe that's what you saw and you're misremembering it.
you need handle each library you imported (in app.gradle) by using proguard-rules.
proguard-rules.pro

You need to exclude these externally added library code from obfuscation. So you need to find compatible -dontwarn.
For joda add : **-dontwarn org.joda.convert.****
if you are using any pojo then you also need to exclude them use:
-keepclassmembers class yourpackage. {< fields>; }**
