Java – Proguard doesn’t delete my logs

Proguard doesn’t delete my logs… here is a solution to the problem.

Proguard doesn’t delete my logs

I want to clear my project from the log when publishing.
But I’m trying to use the obfuscator and the result is zero:
My Project Settings:

proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

# Project target.
target=android-19
android.library.reference.1=..\\google-play-services_lib

And my proguard-properties

   -optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-keepattributes LineNumberTable
-verbose
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*

-renamesourcefileattribute SourceFile
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable

#To remove debug logs:
-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
    public static *** d(...);
    public static *** v(...);
    public static *** w(...);
    public static *** i(...);
}


-keep class android.support.v4.** { *; }

-keep public class * extends android.app.Activity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application
-keep public class * extends android.app.Fragment
-keep public class * extends android.app.ListActivity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service
-keep public class * extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver
-keep public class * extends android.content.ContentProvider
-keep public class com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    native <methods>;
}

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet);
}

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, int);
}

-keepclassmembers enum * {
    public static **[] values();
    public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}

-keepclassmembers class net.hockeyapp.android.UpdateFragment { 
  *;
}

-keepclassmembers class * { 
    public void onClickUpdate(android.view.View); 
}

-keep public class javax.net.ssl.**
-keepclassmembers public class javax.net.ssl.** {
  *;
}

-keep public class org.apache.http.**
-keepclassmembers public class org.apache.http.** {
  *;
}

Why doesn’t it work? I’m trying to turn optimizations off/on: Same result

Solution

If you want the assumenosideeffects settings to take effect, you must use proguard-android-optimize.txt:

Change your proguard.config line to:

proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android-optimize.txt:proguard-project.txt

Eric Lafortune’s more detailed description of proguard-android-optimize.txt and proguard-android.txt can be found here .
