# serialization

Quick question about proguard. The library documentation says that no additional setup is needed because the library includes its own rules file. Is there a way to add the "dependency" on this proguard file in my app build.gradle file under the build flavors for proguardFiles or is the suggestion to copy the rules into my own proguard rules file?

[Richard Happe]

My thought process here is that it would be mostly ideal to depend on the library proguard file directly instead of maintaining my own. That way if the library updates I don't have to know or take any manual action.

AGP already extracts the proguard rules of dependencies and includes them

That's honestly how I would have expected it to work. I think maybe I'm just on an old enough version. Is this new in 1.5?

yes, https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization/pull/2092
