No preview found in a minified and shrinked build (Proguard)

See original GitHub issue

👋 Thanks guys for the amazing work on Showkase, we have implemented it in our apps: we use it to quickly see if we missed the implementation of our components.

Problem

When we launch the showkase activity, it does not find any preview.

Expected behavior

When we launch the showkase activity, it finds all composables annotated with @Preview.

Hypothesis

It is ok in debug but ko in release. Do you think we should specify something in proguard settings ?

Sounds reasonable! I’ll take a look at share the keep rules you might need!

Hey! I had played around with the proguard configuration a bit and went down a rabbit hole for minimizing the footprint of this library. I was also experimenting with using debugImplementation and updating some of the documentation to reflect with some new guidance for use cases where Showkase is only used in debug mode. As far as release builds go, I haven’t profiled release build yet and suspect that it’s probably going to be the rule that you have in your previous comment itself. Once more people can confirm it and I also spend some time experimenting with it, I can potentially ship this library with some release proguard rules.
