Support for renamesourcefileattribute in R8 config

See original GitHub issue

Hi 🙂 I’m currently working on improving obfuscation in one of our Android apps. Right now I want to remove any reference to the original file from obfuscated code, and to do so I’ve added this line to my R8/ProGuard config:

-renamesourcefileattribute SourceFile

Unfortunately, when I’ve added this, Sentry crash reporting stopped working as expected, giving me obfuscated stack traces. The mapping file is uploaded correctly, so this is not the issue. In the same time, Firebase Crashlytics is working fine in this configuration, so imo it is possible to get the original stack trace somehow.

Is this a bug, or a lack of feature? If the second thing, would it be possible to implement it into the Android SDK?

@marandaneto you are right, this is the issue in our case 🙈 we are building two artifacts: .apk (affected by this issue) and .aab (used by Google Play, unaffected). Obliviously tests were made on the .apk version 🙈

Thank you for your help! I am closing this issue, because it is unrelated to renamesourcefileattribute flag. I will open another one if something will still prevent me to use it.

One more question, when are you planning to release the new plugin version?
