Newbie here, 🙌🏻 I want to ask, What is the difference between R8 and proguard?

[Emanuel Moecklin]

R8 is a Google product, Proguard is a product by Guardsquare, nowadays only R8 is used even if the two products use the same format for the config files and those files still have a reference to the no longer Proguard, see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55744477/what-is-the-difference-between-proguard-and-r8
