What is the difference between these two proguard options?
-keep class com.myclass.**
-keep class com.myclass.** { *; }
The first rule will only keep the classes themselves (and the default constructors).
The second rule will also keep all methods and fields in the classes.
-keep class com.myclass.**
Preserve all classes in the com.myclass package and any sub-packages. Even if shrinking and optimization steps should alter the structure of or remove these classes, do not do so.
-keep class com.myclass.** { *; }
Preserve all classes in the com.myclass package as defined above as well as all fields and methods in those classes.
An example of the difference: With the first command, my entry point methods (such as main) can still be shrunk, optimized, and obfuscated. In order to keep the signatures of those methods intact, I can specify the methods or fields I need to keep (or just the wildcard * as you did, though I would think that's too broad). This is essential for reflection and other situations where signatures and names must be kept intact.
Note that -keepnames and similar commands also keep the signatures, but only if they weren't already removed during shrinking.
