错误：任务 ':app:packageRelease' 的执行失败。 > 无法计算 /../AndroidStudioProjects/../classes.jar 的哈希值

Question

I'm trying to do a 'release' build on an Android app and I keep on getting this error of:

Unable to compute hash of /../AndroidStudioProjects/../classes.jar

And then when I look into that directory for 'classes.jar' the file isn't there. Do I have to create this file myself with a gradle task?

There's something going on with proguard here but it's not giving much useful information other than 'Unable to compute hash...."

Here's my gradle.build file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        debug {
            buildConfigField "String", "SERVER_URL", '"http://10.0.2.2:3000"'
        }
        release {
            buildConfigField "String", "SERVER_URL", '"https://example.com"'
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        debugRelease {
            buildConfigField "String", "SERVER_URL", '"https://example.com"'
            debuggable true
            jniDebuggable false
            renderscriptDebuggable false
            minifyEnabled false
            zipAlignEnabled true
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.5.0'
}

If someone could help me debug this issue that'd be great.

Answer 1

All the current answers to this question are just giving the Proguard rules that worked for them, every fix will be different. First off, confirm it's a Proguard problem by checking that the classes-proguard directory is somewhere in the error message, something like this: Unable to compute hash of /Users/Documents/projectX/app/build/intermediates/classes-proguard/release/classes.jar

This means it's caused by an earlier Proguard error so you need to scroll up in the Messages window or Gradle Console window and check what warnings or errors you're getting. Just as an example, in my current project, Square's Picasso library is causing the error: Warning: com.squareup.picasso.OkHttpDownloader: can't find referenced class com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient . I just added -dontwarn com.squareup.okhttp.** to ignore the warnings, and the app still worked as normal.

A lot of the Proguard errors will be warnings about some class so just adding -dontwarn for whatever class is causing it in your project often works.

I know the StackOverflow way is just Google the error message, copy and paste the top answer and hope for the best but here you've to understand it a bit and figure out the proguard rules for you!

Answer 2

I figured out the problem:

Open up the proguard-rules.pro for your project and add this to the bottom:

-dontwarn java.nio.file.Files
-dontwarn java.nio.file.Path
-dontwarn java.nio.file.OpenOption
-dontwarn org.codehaus.mojo.animal_sniffer.IgnoreJRERequirement

Basically how I solved it was this I tried to run my app in 'release' mode and got a bunch of errors similar to this guy here: https://github.com/square/okio/issues/144

I pretty much followed what he said and fixed it.

Hope this can help others with generating their APK's!

Answer 3

For me the following 2 lines inside proguard.cfg helped:

 -keep class com.google.android.gms.** { *; }
 -dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**

Answer 4

I know there's already an answer here, but my situation was a little different, and I wanted to share it.

For me, my project's proguard file, namely, proguard-rules.pro , was somehow renamed to proguard-android.txt .

The proguard-android.txt is reserved for Android's default proguard rules, so essentially, I was overriding Android's proguard file, which was causing havoc, and I would get the Unable to compute hash message .

Once I changed the filename in my project from proguard-android.txt to proguard-rules.pro I was able to get things working.

Answer 5

I know this is an old question but maybe this answer works for someone. I added -dontwarn butterknife.** to proguard then gradle builds properly.

Answer 6

For me, it is showing the same error i solved it make sure you have the correct Keystore password in file

\mobile\android\gradle.properties 
MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_FILE=my-upload-key.keystore
MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS=my-key-alias
MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD=yourpassword
MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD=yourpassword

Answer 7

只需创建一个文件 proguard-rules.pro 并添加“-dontwarn package names”，在消息中向您发出警告。

Answer 8

Disabling the minifyEnabled option from my gradle file corrected the error in my build.

build.gradle

buildTypes {
       release {
              // DISABLE OPTION
              //minifyEnabled true
              proguardFiles 'proguard.cfg'
       }
}
