Can't build APK with ProGuard minify enabled.

See original GitHub issue

Hello, I can’t build APK with this enabled:

buildTypes {
        release {
            debuggable false
            minifyEnabled true
            shrinkResources true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        //...
}

When I’m trying to build APK file, Android Studio throws this error in build output dialog: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForRelease'.

Is there any way to fix this issue? I want to keep APK size small.

Nevermind, I can now build APK. I added these lines as well:

-dontwarn okio.**

-dontwarn okhttp3.**

Thank you for your help 😃

It’s still not working 😕 I guess I’ll disable ProGuard
