Retrace for DexGuard

I use DexGuard for obfuscation. I have the stack trace from crash log and the mapping file. When I run retrace.bat, giving it the stack trace and the mapping file, the output is still in the obfuscated format.

Solution

  • Are you using ProGuard's retrace.bat? It cannot deobfuscate stack traces that were obfuscated with DexGuard. Solution is to use DexGuard's retrace tool instead:

    java -jar /var/DexGuard/lib/retrace.jar -verbose mapping.txt trace.txt

    DexGuard's is backwards compatible, i.e., it can also retrace ProGuard obfuscated stack traces.
