Prevent Conflicts with ProGuard SDK in Android Apps
When you use Appdome and upload apps with ProGuard SDK inside, the app is blocked with a request to disable ProGuard SDK and try again.
This Knowledge Base article provides information about ProGuard SDK.
What is ProGuard?
ProGuard is an open-source command-line tool used to shrink and optimize Java code, as well as obfuscate the names of functions and classes in the Android app. As a free tool integrated with Android Studio, ProGuard is widely used in many third-party SDKs. In many cases, customers are not even aware that the app they are using has a ProGuard SDK.
Why Can’t I Use an App with ProGuard when I use Appdome?
In certain cases, ProGuard can collide with Appdome’s implementation of Obfuscate App Logic. Therefore, whenever an app is recognized as having the ProGuard SDK, Appdome does the following:
- Shows a visual indication in the app preview.
- Displays an additional alert inside the Tab build which instructs the user how to resolve the conflict by removing Proguard from their app.
