Hello, everyone ! 👋

Quick question: when I create a Kotlin only module in an Android Project (apply plugin: 'kotlin'), do I have to setup anything for ProGuard/R8?
In other all modules, there is minifyEnabled set to true, but this setup is inside android tag.

Thanks a lot in advance! ❤️

nothing to do with Kotlin - same applies to any module in an Android project

[ephemient]

proguard only matters when packaging (e.g. app)

[ephemient]

an Android library can export proguard files for the eventual app to merge (consumerProguardFiles) but it doesn't get any proguard applied on its own

Thanks!

You dont have to import it, it's already there in android gradle plugin. New versions of AGP uses R8 instead of Proguard, which besides doing obfuscation, minification etc, also takes care of desugaring of new Java APIs.
