Firebase minimal proguard config requirement

[aka...@vmax.com]

Hi Team,

I am integrating Firebase SDK in my android application(Native app). I am using following packages availed by Firebase SDK:

import com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp;

import com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions;

import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthResult;

import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;

import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser;

import com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot;

import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseError;

import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseReference;

import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase;

import com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener;

Also, we have added following dependency in gradle file:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.6.0'

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.6.0'

With this as a configuration, it is increasing the application size and method count drastically. 

Can you suggest a preferable & minimal proguard configuration which will suit our above requirement?

Thanks

I would definitely use 9.8.0 rather than 9.6.0 (or if you want to stick with 9.6, use 9.6.1). 

If you are using proguard the libs do ship with proguard rules in the aar, so it should be as minimal as possible. I'm not sure there's much we can advise beyond that. How much of an increase are you seeing on a proguarded build?
