Poll: Do you proguard your library before distribution?

The only example of a library that proguards (that I can think of) is firebase (I'm pretty sure they proguard because the stacktraces from them seem obfuscated)

Tried unzipping `firebase-firestore.aar` and it doesn’t look minified:
```$ unzip classes.jar
Archive:  classes.jar
   creating: com/
   creating: com/google/
   creating: com/google/firebase/
   creating: com/google/firebase/firestore/

  inflating: com/google/firebase/firestore/FirestoreKt.class```

It’s <https://maven.google.com/com/google/firebase/firebase-firestore/26.0.2/firebase-firestore-26.0.2.aar|here> if you want to try

Can you even minify a lib without making it a fatjar?

hm. i feel like i always see some gms.* packages in crashlytics. maybe its maps related?

<https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk> is open source so definitely no reason to obfuscate the library

google play services are different from firebase of course

gms = google mobile services, from which google play services partly evolved, while firebase started as an external acquisition

makes sense when you put it that way. idky i always thought the gms stuff came from firebase. :sweat_smile:
