Answer 1

You have told Proguard to keep a certain method void foo(Bar bar); but to obfuscate the descriptor class Bar.

This is only a problem if you are going to invoke the method from an external source as the signature will be changed by the obfuscation (if you use Proguard to obfuscate a library and then use that library in another app).

So have the following choices:

• Configure Proguard to also keep Bar.

• Use the -dontnote directive to tell Proguard not to print notes like this.
