[Bug]: Issue with Proguard Rules

[caleb654]

Version

1.3.0

Environment that reproduces the issue

Android

Is it reproducible in the example application?

Yes

Reproduction steps

In the example app you include proguard rules. Without them a release build fails. However these proguard rules cause my builds to run much slower and cause them to fail in my deployment pipeline (Codemagic). Is there any work around for this where I could remove those rules? Or some other solution?

Expected result

N/A

Actual result

N/A

Additional context

No response

Hi,

I included this rules because I fell on the same issue. It is referenced on stackoverflow (for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76800185/how-to-keep-some-com-google-android-play-core-classes-reported-missing-by-r8-d). I am not sure it is related to the api.video uploader package.
Yes, R8 takes a long time.

The only workaround I see are:

• build in debug
• increase the pipeline timeout

[ThibaultBee]

On last workaround:

• settings the release minifyEnabled flag to false. See

  api.video-flutter-uploader/example/android/app/build.gradle

  Line 45 in c6c198e

  minifyEnabled true

  (instead you set it to false). It will prevent R8 to minify.

I'm pretty sure it is caused by the package. I tested in an example project with all my dependencies and as soon as I add video_uploader I get the issue.
