I'm getting ready to release my app, and trying out an obfuscated
release build.
When I obfuscate, my native code crashes on calls to
JNIEnv::GetStringUTFChars(). It works perfetly when not obfuscated.
Is there a line I need to add to proguard.cfg to have it avoid
obfuscating stuff used by JNIEnv?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I have verified that the problem is caused by something being obfuscated that shouldn't be.
When I add the following lines to my proguard.cfg (which obviously defeats the purpose of obfuscating, since it prevents anything from being obfuscated) the crash goes away:
-keep class ** { <methods>; <fields>; }
But I haven't been able to come up with a narrower exclusion that prevents JNIEnv::GetStringUTFChars() from crashing.
If I had the source code to JNIEnv::GetStringUTFChars(), maybe I could dig in and figure out which fields or methods it's trying to access. I haven't been able to find the source though.
Help?

Sorry I know this is very old, can you remember if you fixed this, and how?
