This skill addresses the bloat caused by overly broad or redundant R8 keep rules, which prevent the Android compiler from effectively shrinking, obfuscating, and optimizing your application code.
Use the r8-analyzer skill to inspect the current build configuration and generate a report on redundant keep rules.

Overly broad or redundant R8 keep rules prevent the Android compiler from effectively shrinking and obfuscating your application code. Analyzing your build files identifies which ProGuard rules are blocking the removal of unused classes.
You can find redundant ProGuard keep rules by analyzing Android build files and R8 configuration data to identify broad package-wide rules and configurations that subsume library consumer keep rules, generating precise impact scores.
Yes, analyzing R8 keep rules requires Python and protobuf support to process the R8 configuration analyzer output and generate actionable optimization reports for your Android project.
The best way to optimize ProGuard rules for standard libraries like Gson and Retrofit is to use heuristic recommendations generated from quantitative R8 analysis data to remove redundant keep rules.
Yes, R8 configuration analysis can identify rules that subsume library consumer keep rules by inspecting your Android build configuration and detecting broad package-wide rules that prevent code optimization.
You should not use broad package-wide keep rules when your release build size is unexpectedly large, as these rules prevent the Android compiler from removing unused classes or methods during the shrinking process.
