Xamarin / Visual Studio 2015：自定义Proguard配置

Question

I need to make a customized Proguard configuration. However I cannot find out how to do that. When building a new configuration file is copied into the /obj/release/proguard folder. How can this configuration file be customized?

Answer 1

1. Just put your Proguard.cfg into your Project
2. Right click on Proguard.cfg > "Build Action" > "ProguardConfiguration"

Answer 2

The above answer is 100% correct on how to add the file. To make sure you file gets picked up you can check the output logs, it will contain something like this:

ProguardConfigurationFiles:
      {sdk.dir}tools\proguard\proguard-android.txt;
      {intermediate.common.xamarin};
      {intermediate.references};
      {intermediate.application};
         Proguard.cfg;

NOTE: Make sure that you set your MSBuild output verbosity to Detailed for this (Tools > Options > Build and Run)
