Rules

Use Proguard Rules to Keep class in main dex and Prevent Class not found Exception

Example 1

-keep public class * extends android.app.Instrumentation {
	<init>();
}
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application {
	<init>();
	void attachBaseContext(android.content.Context);
}

Example 2

Keep Extend and Annotation Class

  -keep public class * extends com.nd.smartcan.commons.util.language.AppFactoryJSBridge {
       *;
  }

  -keep class com.nd.smartcan.commons.util.language.AppFactoryJSBridge.**{*;}

  # We need to keep all annotation classes because proguard does not trace annotation attribute
  # it just filter the annotation attributes according to annotation classes it already kept.
  -keep public class * extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation {
	*;
  }
