Do I need to remove Proguard related code from Gradle when using R8?
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
You don't actually remove the proguard rules, as R8 works with Proguard rules in compat mode. For more details, please refer to https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/11/r8-new-code-shrinker-from-google-is.html.
R8 is available with Android Studio 3.3 beta and works with Proguard rules. To try it, set the following in your project's
gradle.properties
file:android.enableR8=true
But for the full mode, it is not directly compatible with Proguard.
