Getting error while generating the .apk file if proguard is ON


I am using proguard to obfuscate the code. I am getting the following error in console

Proguard returned with error code 1. See console

My proguard-project.txt is here

# To enable ProGuard in your project, edit project.properties

# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.

# Add any project specific keep options here:

# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
#   public *;
#}

How to solve this?


Solution

  • I fixed it by adding this in my proguard-project.txt

    -keep public class * extends com.phonegap.api.Plugin 
    -keep public class org.apache.cordova.DroidGap 
    -keep public class org.apache.cordova.** 
    -libraryjars /Users/Nasir/Desktop/libs/commons-codec.jar
    -dontwarn android.webkit.*
