Answer 1

Note: the configuration keeps the entry point '...', but not the descriptor class '...' Your configuration contains a -keep option to preserve the given method (or field), but no -keep option for the given class that is an argument type or return type in the method's descriptor. You may then want to keep the class too. Otherwise, ProGuard will obfuscate its name, thus changing the method's signature. The method might then become unfindable as an entry point, e.g. if it is part of a public API. You can automatically keep such descriptor classes with the -keep option modifier includedescriptorclasses (-keep,includedescriptorclasses ...). You can switch off these notes by specifying the -dontnote option.
