Proguard doesnt obfuscate Class name, only methods are obfuscated

问题

I try using Proguard in android studio, but seems like Proguard is not obfuscating the class name, for example, my app structure, and the config:

and config

but when i try trigger the exception in the app:

the exception is listed in ADB console:

only the methods are obfuscated, the MainActivity.class is not

This is an expected behaviour because the class is an activity!

All classes that are mentioned in AndroidManifest.xml have to keep their names (activities, services, providers, receivers, application, instrumentation). Otherwise the system won't be able to find them.

Gradle build automatically generates some rules for your ProGuard configuration to achieve this. It scans AndroidManifest.xml and adds rules for each class found there.

If you want to see all the rules that are used, add this line to your ProGuard rules:

-printconfiguration "build/outputs/mapping/configuration.txt"

It will create configuration.txt file containing all the rules.

There should be something like this:

# view AndroidManifest.xml #generated:50
-keep class com.github.browep.proguard.MainActivity {
    <init>(...);
}

I was facing the same problems,

After updating my Android plugin for Gradle, Proguard stop obfuscating my utility and other class files.

After few searching, I found that Android studio gradle now uses newer version of Proguard.

And according to this stack-overflow answer, which stated that: proguard automatically add rules specific for android/google package.

Therefore, After few rule changes in my app, Proguard obfuscated the class names again.

Old proguard-rules.pro:
