proguard.cfg file missing

android, proguard

Solution

If you're using ADT 17 or newer, the documentation is slightly inaccurate. The generated file is `proguard-project.txt` and will be in the root directory of your project.

To enable Proguard, you will need to ignore the "do not modify" warning in `project.properties` and uncomment the following line:

proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

The Android toolchain will sometimes make changes to `project.properties`, but your Proguard path will be preserved.

Problem

Reading the docs on proguard . . . android docs I'm supposed to have a ProGuard.cfg as it says... "When you create an Android project, a proguard.cfg file is automatically generated in the root directory of the project. " If I google the issue there are answers all over the place most of them saying to modify a file that starts with a warning not to modify the file. Are the docs out of date? How to I get this enabled for release builds? thanks, Gary
