[FIXED] How to use proguard in cordova android App

Issue

I have a finished cordova project and i want to use proguard inorder to prevent others from reverse engineering the APK.But i have trouble doing this.

In
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/proguard.html

It says that “When you create an Android project, a proguard.cfg file is automatically generated in the root directory of the project. ” But i cannot find a such file. So how do i apply proguard to my app?

Thank you

Solution

You need to uncomment below lines from your project.properties file

To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home):

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

Also, if you are using Webview with JS, uncomment following lines in proguard-project.txt and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
class:

-keepclassmembers class com.your.package.YourJSInterfaceClass {
   public *;
}
