Proguard - do not obfuscate Kotlin data classes

问题

In my project I use AutoValue for my old model classes. I started using Kotlin and I want to use Data Classes instead of AutoValue. I want to disable the obfuscation for all Data classes in my Data layer but to keep obfuscating the other classes in the package.

Is there a way to do this?

I would expect to have something like this in my Proguard file:

-keepclassmembers data class example.data_layer.** { *; }

回答1:

To fix the problem I moved the model classes to model package and added new ProGuard rule for the package.

-keep class com.company.myfeature.model.** { *; }

Another solution would be to use @Keep annotation from support library to disable the obfuscation for the class:

@Keep
data class MyRequestBody(val value: String)

Using @Keep may cause problems because it's easy to forget to add it for new classes.

Hopefully in future there will be a way with one ProGuard rule to disable the obfuscation for all Data classes in package without the need to have a sub-package for the model classes.

回答2:

While @Keep annotation works, another option is to add @SerializedName to the properties:

data class SomeDataClass(
    @SerializedName("prop1") val PropertyOne: String, 
    @SerializedName("prop2") val PropertyTwo: Boolean
)
