This Skill addresses the common issue of bloated Android app sizes caused by redundant, overly broad, or harmful ProGuard/R8 keep rules that prevent the compiler from effectively shrinking and optimizing your code.
Run the r8-analyzer skill to inspect your current build configuration and generate an optimization report for your release build.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To reduce Android app size, analyze R8 keep rules to identify redundancies, broad package-wide rules, and rules that subsume library consumer keep rules. This generates actionable reports detailing optimization, obfuscation, and shrinking scores to refine your build configuration.
ProGuard or R8 keep rules prevent code shrinking when they are overly broad or redundant, restricting the compiler from safely removing unused code. Analyzing these rules pinpoints harmful configurations that bloat your Android app size and provides refinement strategies.
You can analyze R8 keep rules for older Android projects using heuristic evaluation, which serves as a fallback manual analysis path to identify redundant rules and broad package-wide wildcards when quantitative data generation is unavailable.
Yes, you can get quantitative impact metrics for Android keep rules by using the R8 configuration analyzer, which supports precise data generation for R8 9.3.7-dev and newer modern Android project configurations.
Yes, you need Python and protobuf dependencies installed in your environment to run the R8 keep rule analysis, as the skill requires these components to parse build files and generate optimization reports.
The best way to identify broad package-wide wildcards in ProGuard configurations is to run an analysis that flags rules subsuming library consumer keep rules, generating a structured Markdown report with actionable recommendations to refine or remove them.
