Retrofit 2 not sending data when ProGuard is enabled

Romain picture Romain · Feb 19, 2016 · Viewed 14.7k times · Source

I try to login my users using Retrofit 2. (Basically a GET to the login URL with a basic header) It works well but once I ProGuard it, the Header Authorization is not sent anymore. (See log outputs)

Sample code :

User Model :

public interface UserService {

    @GET(GET_LOGIN)
    Observable<User> login(@Header("Authorization") String basic);
}

Login Activity :

public void onClick(View v) {
    mRetrofit.create(UserService.class)
             .login(Credentials.basic(email, password))
             .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
             .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
             .subscribe(user -> {
                UserHelper.save(LoginActivity.this, user);
             }, throwable -> Dog.d);
}

Proguard File :

# Retrofit
-dontwarn retrofit2.** 
-dontwarn org.codehaus.mojo.**
-keep class retrofit2.** { *; }
-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes Exceptions
-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    @retrofit.* <methods>;
}

-keepclasseswithmembers interface * {
    @retrofit.* <methods>;
}

I finally managed to make it work. Here is the proguard configuration regarding Retrofit 2

# Retrofit
-dontwarn retrofit2.**
-dontwarn org.codehaus.mojo.**
-keep class retrofit2.** { *; }
-keepattributes Signature
-keepattributes Exceptions
-keepattributes *Annotation*

-keepattributes RuntimeVisibleAnnotations
-keepattributes RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations
-keepattributes RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations
-keepattributes RuntimeInvisibleParameterAnnotations

-keepattributes EnclosingMethod

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    @retrofit2.* <methods>;
}

-keepclasseswithmembers interface * {
    @retrofit2.* <methods>;
}

Thanks @xudshen

UPDATE

The main problem: I used proguard-android-optimize So I should added:

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    @retrofit2.http.* <methods>;
}

I also switched back to the regular Retrofit 2 proguard config provided by square :

# Platform calls Class.forName on types which do not exist on Android to determine platform.
-dontnote retrofit2.Platform
# Platform used when running on RoboVM on iOS. Will not be used at runtime.
-dontnote retrofit2.Platform$IOS$MainThreadExecutor
# Platform used when running on Java 8 VMs. Will not be used at runtime.
-dontwarn retrofit2.Platform$Java8
# Retain generic type information for use by reflection by converters and adapters.
-keepattributes Signature
# Retain declared checked exceptions for use by a Proxy instance.
-keepattributes Exceptions
