build failing on play-services:11.8.x with pro guard parser error

问题:

So it looks like there is a bug in the latest play-services to be deployed. Does anyone know how to work around this issue?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.  * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':myappname:transformClassesWithAndroidGradleClassShrinkerForDevelopmentDebug'. > ProGuard configuration parser error: /Users/myusername/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-base-11.8.0.aar/d2ad9e16677fda9cf07a1280a66e91ca/proguard.txt line 3:88 no viable alternative at input '' 

So more information. seems the problem is in the core module:

Error:Execution failed for task ':myappname:transformClassesWithAndroidGradleClassShrinkerForDevelopmentDebug'. > ProGuard configuration parser error: /Users/myusername/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-base-11.8.0.aar/d2ad9e16677fda9cf07a1280a66e91ca/proguard.txt line 3:88 no viable alternative at input '' 

EDIT: The contents of the file that is causing that error is:

# b/35135904 Ensure that proguard will not strip the mResultGuardian. -keepclassmembers class com.google.android.gms.common.api.internal.BasePendingResult {   com.google.android.gms.common.api.internal.BasePendingResult.ReleasableResultGuardian ; }

It seems the default shrinker has changed. Adding the configuration to turn on ProGuard seemed to work.

buildTypes {         release {             debuggable false             minifyEnabled true             useProguard true             ...         }         debug {             debuggable true             minifyEnabled true             useProguard true             ...         }     }

In addition to the above solution (which works): the issue seems related to Instant Run as well. If you disable Instant Run, you can build your app without changing your build.gradle. Probably, the default shrinker has changed only when building for Instant Run.

This solution helped me:

First, in app/build.gradle change useProguard to 'true'

Second, in proguard rules add line '-dontobfuscate'

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

proguard-rules.pro

-dontobfuscate 

So, minify would be work, but code wouldn't obfuscate.

I am noticing that if you disable Instant Run the build still fails with the same error (if you have minify enabled but Proguard disabled to shrink your code to avoid multi-dex in the debug build). If you follow Brill Pappin answer you must enable Instant Run(and install libraries as prompted) to hit any breakpoints while debugging.
It seems enabling the shrinker as described in the Google docs now only works if you are using Instant Run with the Google Play Play Services.
