Android Question Question about #R8Optimizer: True

[ilan]

Hi

i see many post here by users that have added the last feature #R8Optimizer: True (b4a 14.2)
and many have like bugs after adding it and they need to add:

AddProguardText(
    ...
)

but when i run my app using #R8Optimizer: True i dont get any errors in release mode and i have not added any classes in manifest.
is it possible to not have to add any classes to the manifest?
could it be that on my phone when i run in release mode everything will work but after uploading to the store the aab file users may have crashes?
it is not clear to me when i should add any classes and when not.

any explanation is very much appreciated.

thanks,
ilan

Most of the related discussions where made during the beta stage and the missing rules were then added to the libraries rules files. With most libraries you don't need to add anything to use R8.

ok thanks Erel for you reply. so the app compiles when using R8 there should not be an issue when uploading the aab to the store right?

True.
