When I Generate signed APK, I got an issue

Question

I want to Generate signed APK, and I have compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.8.1'.
but It's happened some issue. It's looks like about "okhttp" issue. I don't know how to resolve it. I research many info, but its seems seldom info about this.

How can I resolve this issue??

Answer 1

it looks like minifyEnabled is set to true in your build.gradle so it is applying proguard rules. so you should add this rules to your proguard-rules.pro file

-dontwarn okio.**
-dontwarn com.squareup.okhttp3.**
-keep class com.squareup.okhttp3.** { *; }
-keep interface com.squareup.okhttp3.** { *; }
-dontwarn javax.annotation.Nullable
-dontwarn javax.annotation.ParametersAreNonnullByDefault

Answer 2

I also face this error. I have fix by adding below code in proguard.

-dontwarn okio.**
-dontwarn okhttp3.**
-dontwarn com.squareup.okhttp3.**
-keep class com.squareup.okhttp3.** { *; }
-keep interface com.squareup.okhttp3.** { *; }
