Impossible to compile with AndroidX and Jetifier with minifyEnabled and proguard disabled

Hello, I have tried to migrate my project to AndroidX and use the jetifier to transform dependencies to use AndroidX. Unfortunately I have an error with the microsoft-authentication-library-for-android library:

Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithAndroidGradleClassShrinkerForDebug'.
> SHA-256 digest error for com/microsoft/identity/client/AadAuthority.class

I have the issue only in debug builds which have the minifyEnabled true & useProguard false. And I don’t have the issue on the release builds with shrinkResources true & minifyEnabled true & useProguard true. (I use minifyEnabled true on debug builds in my project to remove unused methods to go below the 65K method limit).

I build the debug builds with ./gradlew clean :app:assembleDebug and the release ones with ./gradlew clean :app:assembleRelease.

I have created a project reproducing the error: AzureADtestAndroidX.zip

Do you have any idea on what the issue might be?

Thanks

@iambmelt I opened a bug on the Google issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/115556774, and they are looking into it.

After much effort, I was able to use the current version with AndroidX:

1. Download and unzip the jetifier standalone cli
2. Download the msal aar file
3. Strip the signatures from the aar and jetify it: ./bin/jetifier-standalone -stripSignatures -i msal-0.2.2.aar -o msal-0.2.2.aar
4. Repeat this process for the common-0.0.8 aar as well
5. In Android Studio, select File > New > New Module and choose “Import .JAR/.AAR package”
6. Select the stripped and jetified msal-0.2.2.aar
7. Also import common-0.0.8.aar the same way
8. In the app’s build.gradle, include msal, common and all of their child dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation project(':msal')
    //region MSAL dependencies
    // Have to include these manually because the msal AAR has no way to convey dependencies
    implementation project(':msidentity-common')
    implementation "androidx.browser:browser:1.0.0"
    implementation "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.4"
    implementation 'com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt:5.7'
    //endregion
}
