r8-analyzer

R8 keep rule analysis identifies overly broad or conflicting Proguard rules that hinder code shrinking. It inspects Android build configurations to pinpoint redundancies and provides actionable recommendations for improving app size.

R8 configuration analysis evaluates project-specific Proguard files and Gradle settings to identify redundancies and broad package-wide rules. It generates R8 configuration analyzer reports to provide precise impact metrics for keep rules.

Yes, heuristic evaluation offers manual analysis paths for older R8 versions. It compares project-specific Proguard rules against known redundant patterns and reflection best practices to evaluate optimization without quantitative reports.

You need access to project build files, including Proguard files and Gradle settings. The analysis requires the ability to execute Gradle tasks to generate the quantitative data needed for the optimization report.

App size may remain large due to redundant or overly broad R8 keep rules preventing effective code obfuscation and optimization. Analyzing your build configuration identifies these conflicting rules so you can refine them.

An R8 optimization report includes structured details on optimization, obfuscation, and shrinking scores. These metrics track build performance improvements and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing app size.
