I am having an error whenever I try to add this

Question

I am getting an error whenever I try to add "runProguard", here is my code:

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

and here is the error:

Could not find method runProguard() for arguments [true] on BuildType_Decorated{name=release, debuggable=false, testCoverageEnabled=false, jniDebuggable=false, pseudoLocalesEnabled=false, renderscriptDebuggable=false, renderscriptOptimLevel=3, minifyEnabled=false, zipAlignEnabled=true, signingConfig=null, embedMicroApp=true, mBuildConfigFields={}, mResValues={}, mProguardFiles=[], mConsumerProguardFiles=[], mManifestPlaceholders={}} of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.BuildType.

Using minifyEnabled and making it true will enable the Proguard. I'm guessing that runProguard is depreciated-old that's why you get the error.

So add:

minifyEnabled true

Note that to use minifyEnabled, gradle should be updated to version 2.2 or above.

I added the "minifyEnabled true" to my code, although it still shows the same error, could you help me updating my gradle please? – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:27
Remove `runProguard` and then use : `classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'` for updating the gradle and only this `minifyEnabled true` for proguard and then it should work. – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Sep 30 '18 at 18:28
Should I insert the: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0' on the line that I removed the runProguard? – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:33
"Could not find method classpath() for arguments [com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0] on BuildType_Decorated{name=release, debuggable=false, testCoverageEnabled=false, jniDebuggable=false, pseudoLocalesEnabled=false, renderscriptDebuggable=false, renderscriptOptimLevel=3, minifyEnabled=true, zipAlignEnabled=true, signingConfig=null, embedMicroApp=true, mBuildConfigFields={}, mResValues={}, mProguardFiles=[], mConsumerProguardFiles=[], mManifestPlaceholders={}} of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.dsl.BuildType." – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:34
Okay, did it, now I get this error "Plugin with id 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0' not found." – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:36
Yes I am, 3.2 I guess, how do I give you the link? – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:41
Oh, I'm sorry, I just got to the right file, and there was the line of code already there, what should I do? – Tomas Mota Sep 30 '18 at 18:48
Replace it with: `classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'` (new version) – ʍѳђઽ૯ท Sep 30 '18 at 18:49
