Android obfuscate app using proguard keeps obfuscating library jars - or is it?

Question

I\'m new to using Proguard so I\'m probably making a newbie mistake. I\'ve got an app that after I run the release build (which uses Proguard to obfuscate) it crashes prett

I had a similar problem when proGuard encrypted the jsoup lib. I fixed it by adding the following to my proguard-rules.txt:

-keep class org.jsoup** {
    *;
}

So the build.gradle will end up with the following section:

release {
    minifyEnabled true
    proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
