I'm creating a native android app and I want to release it.
I'm using retrofit and Gson converter. Also a search view. For the release I have set up the proguard rules, as suggested by retrofit:
# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
-dontwarn javax.**
-keep class android.support.v7.widget.SearchView { *; }
# Retrofit
-dontwarn okhttp3.**
-dontwarn okio.**
# Platform calls Class.forName on types which do not exist on Android to determine platform.
-dontnote retrofit2.Platform
# Platform used when running on Java 8 VMs. Will not be used at runtime.
-dontwarn retrofit2.Platform$Java8
# Retain generic type information for use by reflection by converters and adapters.
-keepattributes Signature
# Retain declared checked exceptions for use by a Proxy instance.
-keepattributes Exceptions
In retrofit I use: ApiUtils.java
public static PBTService getPBTService(String BASE_URL) {
return RetrofitClient.getClient(BASE_URL).create(PBTService.class);
}
Service.java
import br.com.adley.ipubg.data.Player;
import retrofit2.Call;
import retrofit2.http.GET;
import retrofit2.http.Headers;
import retrofit2.http.Path;
public interface PBTService {
String API_KEY = "MYKEY";
@Headers(API_KEY)
@GET("profile/pc/{nickname}")
Call<Player> getPlayerStatsByNickname(@Path("nickname") String nickname);
}
RetrofitClient.java
import retrofit2.Retrofit;
import retrofit2.converter.gson.GsonConverterFactory;
public class RetrofitClient {
private static Retrofit retrofit = null;
public static Retrofit getClient(String baseUrl) {
if (retrofit==null) {
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(baseUrl)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
}
return retrofit;
}
}
In debug mode or when proguard is offline it works perfectly. But when I generate signed app with proguard and do a GET using retrofit, I get the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for class br.com.adley.ipubg.a.a for method a.a
I've try a lot of proguard configs. I might think the error is related with GSON converter.
I've already tried:
#My retrofit service package
-keep public class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.** {public private protected *;}
-keep public class br.com.adley.ipubg.activities.MainActivity.** {public private protected *;}
#others configs
-keep class com.google.gson.** { ; }
-keep class sun.misc.Unsafe { *; }
-keep class com.google.gson.stream.** { *; }:
-keep public class com.google.gson.**
-keep public class com.google.gson.** {public private protected *;}
UPDATE
I've add the GSON configs to pro-guard:
##---------------Begin: proguard configuration for Gson ----------
# Gson uses generic type information stored in a class file when working with fields. Proguard
# removes such information by default, so configure it to keep all of it.
-keepattributes Signature
# For using GSON @Expose annotation
-keepattributes *Annotation*
# Gson specific classes
-dontwarn sun.misc.**
#-keep class com.google.gson.stream.** { *; }
# Application classes that will be serialized/deserialized over Gson
-keep class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.models.MatchHistory.** { *; }
-keep class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.models.Player.** { *; }
-keep class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.models.Season.** { *; }
-keep class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.models.Stats.** { *; }
# Prevent proguard from stripping interface information from TypeAdapterFactory,
# JsonSerializer, JsonDeserializer instances (so they can be used in @JsonAdapter)
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.TypeAdapterFactory
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.JsonSerializer
-keep class * implements com.google.gson.JsonDeserializer
##---------------End: proguard configuration for Gson ----------
But still get an error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for class br.com.adley.ipubg.data.models.Player for method a.a
After check the comments, I've add a GSON proguard rules and retrofit.
Also, be careful if you have a wrapper that uses your models, it will cause convert errors.
My final pro-guard rules, now working, is:
# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
public static boolean isLoggable(java.lang.String, int);
public static int v(...);
public static int i(...);
public static int w(...);
public static int d(...);
public static int e(...);
}
-dontwarn org.ini4j.** # Ignore warning for missing classes in ini4j
-dontwarn javax.**
-keep class android.support.v7.widget.SearchView { *; }
# Retrofit
-dontwarn okhttp3.**
-dontwarn okio.**
-dontnote retrofit2.Platform
-dontwarn retrofit2.Platform$Java8
-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes Exceptions

Thanks all guys for the comments.
