Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When bumping to AGP 8.x + Gradle 8.x R8 is in full mode by default. This strips the Either signature completely and makes Retrofit crash at runtime since it doesn't know how to turn the response into an Either.
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a section in the README which explains which proguard rules to add so that R8 doesn't strip the classes necessary for it to work.
My solution has been to add
-keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class arrow.core.Either in my proguard file, but I am not sure if this is the optimal way to solve it. Only took inspiration from this discussion here https://github.com/square/retrofit/issues/3751#issuecomment-1192043644
If someone could chip in to give a better idea or more confidently suggest this as the right solution that would be great!
