Implementation Guidelines

Build Configuration

  • Minification: Always enable isMinifyEnabled = true and isShrinkResources = true for Release builds (R8).
  • Format: Publish using App Bundles (.aab) for Play Store optimization.
  • Signing: NEVER commit keystores or passwords. Use Environment Variables / Secrets.

Proguard / R8

  • Rules: Keep rules minimal. Use annotations (@Keep) for reflection-heavy classes instead of broad wildcard rules.
  • Mapping: Upload mapping.txt to Play Console for crash de-obfuscation.

Anti-Patterns

  • No debuggable=true in Release: Breaks obfuscation and exposes internal logic.
  • No Secrets in Repo: Use local.properties or CI environment variables.
