Hey, so I want use ProGuard for obfuscation but each time when I want use reflection I have in bytecode `LKotlin/Metadata'. And there are too much about objects that I want hide. Is there any way to get rid of it? Or I need use java reflection?

Kotlin reflection needs the Metadata annotation. If you don't want to keep it, you have to resort to Java reflection

that's sad, then I need rewrite most of kotlin reflection to java 😞, anyway thanks!

But Java reflections also require keeping original names, otherwise it will not work

[Michał Kalinowski]

@msink yep but I try just read constructor parameters types to create object so I don't bother about original names
