Support R8 FullMode

[G00fY2]

Currently Moshi expects JsonAdapters to have the ParameterizedType. But the R8 fullMode (which is enabled by default since AGP8) strips signatures from non-kept items. Therefore the check in parametersAreJsonAdapters (also in the Kotlin implementation) fails because of this assumption and you run into a IllegalArgumentException at runtime.

I was able to fix this by adding the following proguard rule: -keep,allowobfuscation,allowshrinking class com.squareup.moshi.JsonAdapter

I would expect this rule as part of the META-INF/proguard/moshi.pro

Wanna send a PR? I'd want to see a full description of the implications of that rule and its attributes, but open to it!

[G00fY2]

Currently I just copy pasta this rule from other Android library projects, e.g. this PR which also contains a nice explanation: https://github.com/square/retrofit/pull/3579

I think this is also true for Moshi. But I am not really an expert on this topic.

[ZacSweers]

Well, PR welcome but would need an explanation of the side effects. We're unlikely to accept a PR with broad proguard/R8 implications without that kind of detail.

Is this error due to moshi?

I have retrofit and moshi, just upraded to AS flamingo with AGP 8 and Java 17. This error causes retrofit calls to not happen. Here's more details on stackoverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76118721/r8-full-mode-throws-class-cast-exception-agp-8-0

@DarkAbhi Nope, your stacktrace seems not to be related to Moshi, since it would run into this error: https://github.com/square/moshi/blob/1.14.0/moshi/src/main/java/com/squareup/moshi/AdapterMethodsFactory.java#L226

Right, thanks. I'm going to be running around a lot figuring this out..

[DarkAbhi]

@G00fY2 @ZacSweers Would you have any idea about this issue? This is the only live project I have with Moshi, my other projects with GSON work fine so far after AGP 8 and Flamingo update. Thanks!
