any idea why my proguard is failing here? <https://pastebin.com/itxRfUKx>
here’s my .pro file <https://pastebin.com/56EDACgH>

<@U691H4RA4> you need to keep service and activity

how did you gather that? and where did I say that its ok for them to be removed?

<@U691H4RA4> add this 


-keep public class * extends android.app.Activity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service
-keep public class * extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver
-keep public class * extends android.content.ContentProvider
-keep public class * extends android.app.backup.BackupAgent
-keep public class * extends android.preference.Preference
-keep public class * extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment
-keep public class * extends android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment

Thats why in Android we create separation of concern to separate business logic, data retrieval, and UI logic

yea but that doesn't explain why Proguard is removing this specific activity and not any other activity

in Android we cannot obfuscate an activity. You need to explicit register it in manifest

so you're saying that the reason why SettingsActivity was removed is because it wasn't mentioned in the manifest?

<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20619955/why-proguard-keeps-activity-class-in-android>

no because the activity is already mentioned in the manifest

why would it remove that one and not any other activity, they're all mentioned in the manifest

this is the only activity that is mentioned in a red line in my logs

and the lines wher it mentions `can't find dynamically referenced class kotlin.internal.jdk8.JDK8PlatformImplementations`
