Build with
ProGuard
in production

In accordance with industry guidelines, after your app is fully tested and ready to deploy, you should use an obfuscation tool as part of your formal build and release process.

Multiple obfuscation tools are currently available. To ensure correct

BlackBerry Dynamics

operation and performance, however, they need to be configured so as not to obfuscate key parts of the

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

library. Below is a configuration that can be used as the basis for any application. Using

ProGuard

is recommended because it is the default obfuscation tool for Android. If you are using an alternative tool, the rules in the appendix should be adapted for that tool.

The

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

uses Platform APIs, some of which rely on versions of above the minimum supported API Level. A target SDK below the latest API level might throw warnings about the newer APIs, because </li> cannot find them in the underlying Platform JAR. The

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

now ensures the appropriate runtime checks are made before it attempts to use any such API. You can ignore warnings about APIs that aren't found in

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

classes with

-dontwarn com.good.gd

as shown on the final line in the example below.

The snippet below is an

</li>.cfg

file that works for any

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

app.
