EventBus exception when proj is built - Subscriber class has no public methods called onEvent

So, my app exchanges messages from/to my MainActivity to/from a background Service and I used EventBus to handle that. I'm registering both components with 

EventBus.getDefault().register(this);

on their onCreates. And I'm sending/receiving an event with:

EventBus.getDefault().post(new MyMessagePojo("message"));

and

public void onEvent(MyMessagePojo event) { ... }

Everything works well when I run the project from my AndroidStudio right to my test phone. However, when I generated the signed APK I installed the app and got a crash with the following exception:

Subscriber class my.package.MainActivity has no public methods called onEvent

Where it clearly has. I tried changing it from onEvent to onEventMainThread in my MainActivity but with no success. It's pretty frustrating since I was about to publish the app and now I can't fix this problem.

I've been through this and this but they were of no help.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • This is is addressed in the EventBus HOWTO docs. https://github.com/greenrobot/EventBus/blob/master/HOWTO.md

    Use the below code to keep only the onEvent functions.

    -keepclassmembers class ** {
    public void onEvent*(**);
}
