How to enable proguard in android studio?

Question

buildTypes {
    release {
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        minifyEnabled true
    }
}

I have enabled minifyEnabled, but it is not allowing me to generate signed apk. Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForRelease'.

Job failed, see logs for details It is throwing such error while generating signed apk. I have also mentioned

-ignorewarnings
-keep class * {
    public private *;
}

in proGuard rules.

This happens normally when your SDK, Build Tools and Gradle version does't match. Check are you correct versions or not. — Aditya, Jan 11 '18 at 12:21

Try to check whether proguard_rules.pro file is inside your project folder — Priyanga Manivelan, Nov 28 '18 at 08:33

Change this -:

To-:

minifyEnabled false

It will definately work.
