Resource shrinking works only in conjunction with code shrinking.
minifyEnabled is an Android tool that will decrease the size of your application when you go to build it .
android {
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true // This must be first
minifyEnabled true // This must be after shrinkResources
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
If you haven't already built your app using minifyEnabled for code shrinking, then try that before enabling shrinkResources, because you might need to edit your proguard-rules.pro file to keep classes or methods that are created or invoked dynamically before you start removing resources.
Please read official Guideline about Shrink Your Code and Resources
Advice
Use latest version
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion '25.0.1'
targetSdkVersion 25
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0' // set other 25.1.0
NOTE
YouTubeRecyclerViewFragment.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Use Alternate Latest Version .
First check whether you really need to use shrinkResources
If so, do as suggested in developers link https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html#shrink-resources mentioned above by IntelliJ Amiya, you have to use like below
android {
buildTypes {
release {
shrinkResources true // -- always add this above minifyEnabled --
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
This :app:proguardRelease UP-TO-DATE .. makes this log not complete enough to say if this answer will help or not.
Please do clean + build release again to have full log with all steps, you may want also to add --info to gradle options, or even --debug to get more diagnostic messages in gradle build log.
Clean+build may also fix some weird problem of gradle/other-tool not correctly updating some file and reusing older incorrect one - rarely happens.
Also try to switch minification OFF (not solution, just experiment), whether it helps (to localize the problem is really with proguard minification and not elsewhere).
And of course if there are proguard related errors during minification, try to follow advice from the linked answer.
If you cannot sign the apk in Android Studio, manually signed it with
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore my_application.apk alias_name
if you not have the key, generated it with keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
You also can manually signed as the manual do:
keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks-keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias app
zipalign -v -p 4 my-app-unaligned.apk my-app.apk
apksigner sign --ks my-release-key.jks my-app.apk
check the signed apk
apksigner verify my-app.apk
Try to generate signed APK using terminal by gradle command see your stack trace that will give you detailed log where has the problem.
In Windows
$gradle clean
$ gradle --stacktrace assembleRelease
In Ubuntu
$./gradlew clean
$./gradlew --stacktrace assembleRelease
if you have still problem post you stack trace here
R.raw.Keep (xml file)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:shrinkMode="strict" />
Dont forget to Reference this Resource from .java source file. For more details see https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html
if you are worried about the size of your apk file then its good practice to shrink image files as well. That is convert RGB channel to Indexed channel,this can save up to 50% more space.
Note: .....YouTubeRecyclerViewFragment.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Use Keytool binary or exe to generate a private keystore. Instructions in below link. You can then sign your app using this keystore. Keytool gets installed when you install Java.

Clean project and start again generate signed Build/Apk. its working fine for me.
