Proguard rules for AndroidX AppCompat package

Question

Up till now I am using AppCompat libraries but now I have migrated my project to AndroidX libraries.

I am stuck with proguard rules for androidx.

As you know we are using proguard rules for AppCompat as below:

-keep public class android.support.v7.widget.** { *; }
-keep public class android.support.v7.internal.widget.** { *; }
-keep public class android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.** { *; }

-keep public class * extends android.support.v4.view.ActionProvider {
    public <init>(android.content.Context);
}

I have searched a lot but didn't found any proper docs for that.

Is there any update in AndroidX Proguard rules?

Answer 1

AppCompat already contains the ProGuard rules it needs directly in the AAR: there's no need to declare any special ProGuard rules.

Therefore, you can just remove your custom rules entirely.
