Hey there, I am beginning with Android, but have some proguard experience, so here is what I think:
You can use optimisations and shrinking as much as you like, but avoid obfuscation. Just think, how many classes in your code are referenced using their names in AndroidManifest.xml. Proguard will happily rename those and overload agressively, but your manifest XML file remains untouched. All classes that are mentioned in the manifest file MUST remain unobfuscated. This is just a theory, but you could test it, by adding '- dontobfuscate' into your proguard settings and checking the effects. By default the obfuscation is ON. Please let the list know about your findings. Daniel Make sure that your Proguard config ALWAYS, NO MATTER WHAT doesn't touch R.class for any of its work.
