Incompatible with R8 (Proguard replacement)

[kanetik]

Google's previewing a replacement for Proguard called R8 (https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features/), and it appears I cannot build a release w/ shrinking enabled as long as I've got Taplytics in my code.

Error I get is:

Error in C:\Users\jkane.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\taplytics-1.24.1.aar\9e5a6b0cabb94591e1188a32c131b082\proguard.txt: Expected char '-' at C:\Users\jkane.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\taplytics-1.24.1.aar\9e5a6b0cabb94591e1188a32c131b082\proguard.txt:4:17 -keepattributes Exceptions,LineNumberTable,Signature,Annotation,SourceFile,EnclosingMethod

I tried invalidating cache, and still get the same error on prod build.

Hey @jkane001,

Sorry for the delayed response to this. Can you give us any additional details on the the set up - specifically:

• Any details on how the configuration of your project is set up?
• How is the R8 set up?
• Is this consistently reproducible on your app?

Any additional info you can provide would help! Thanks very much,

Kavita
