@Redth Any progress on this issue ?

[ndastur]

Adding these to your own proguard config seems to solve the problem

-dontwarn android.arch.util.paging.CountedDataSource
-dontwarn android.arch.persistence.room.paging.LimitOffsetDataSource

[Redth]

Yep, generally those errors just require adding proguard warnings. Thanks for posting that @ndastur !

[ndastur]

@redth the only thing I'd say is that the NuGET package should have the relevant proguard config included with it or at least something in the readme.

[Redth]

We ship whatever proguard rules exist in the .aar so I’m not sure why these rules would be missed, but apparently it was.

[ndastur]

Thanks @Redth .. Yes, they do seem to be. I'm sure I've seen a build warning saying an expected proguard file is missing. Any idea about timeline on a fix?

[tranb3r]

@Redth I don't understand why this issue has been closed:

• there is a warning, it should be fixed (warning XA4304: Proguard configuration file 'xxx.nuget\packages\xamarin.android.arch.work.runtime\1.0.0\build....\proguard\proguard.txt' was not found.
• whatever missing rule should be added and shipped with the nuget

[Redth]

Thanks, I wasn't aware the file wasn't being properly included. Looking at this. I see why it's happening (it's only inside proguard/proguard.txt in the nupkg instead of in proguard/monoandroid90/proguard.txt which the .targets file expects). We'll get this fixed and release an update.

[ndastur]

Brilliant. Thank you.

Are you kidding me ? This ticket was opened several months ago and the warning is the first line of the stack trace, how could you not be aware of that ??

Let me remind you that there are other issues concerning this package and waiting to be fixed: #204 #168

[Redth]

This should be fixed in this package update: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.Arch.Work.Runtime/1.0.0.3

Please let us know if this resolves the problem.

[thudugala]

issue is fixed

[tranb3r]

No more warnings but I still need to add some rules to my proguard.cfg in order for it to work.
