Android Question Problem using AddProguardText in manifest

[PJLPJLPJL]

I am trying to add the following to my manifest:

[CODE lang="xml" title="Manifest Code"]AddProguardText(-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
public static *** v(...);
public static *** d(...);
public static *** i(...);
public static *** w(...);
public static *** e(...);
})[/CODE]

and the UI immediately flags this as an error:
Error in manifest editor: Error parsing manifest script:<br />Line = 34, Word = ;<br />Command expected.

What am I doing wrong please? Thank you.

Why are these rules needed? Where do they come from? Better to remove them.

Closing parenthesis should be escaped like this:

AddProguardText(-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
    public static *** v(...));
    public static *** d(...));
    public static *** i(...));
    public static *** w(...));
    public static *** e(...));
})

Thank you for this - it has solved the problem.
As to why: as a hobbyist I have just one phone which is both my "production" machine running lots of B4A apps including several widgets and persistent services, and my "development" machine where I debug new apps and modifications; and I find that even though I've removed all the log() statements in my working apps, the logs from B4A swamp the log window when I am debugging. This prevents those logs from coming through
