Have been battling with Proguard all day and have tried many examples and solutions on the official Proguard site as well as StackOverflow.
I have a large project I need to obfuscate, which has a number of referenced library projects and Jars.
I am getting 725 warnings from proguard from 2 libs, com.google.common and twitter4j.
I can happily get the project to compile if I add the following:
-dontwarn com.google.common.**
-dontwarn twitter4j.**
However, the app crashes instantly on open, so this seems to just be a way of hiding an issue, not fixing it.
The proguard-project.txt is in the project root and its config is in the project.properties file as below.
proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt
Here is my proguard-project.txt file
