## What it is
A curated collection of example ProGuard configuration files for common Android libraries, meant to be combined with the official proguard-android.txt base config via Gradle. Each snippet contains only the rules needed for a specific library, contributed and updated by the community.

## Use cases
- fix proguard rules for gson in my android release build
- proguard configuration for google play services
- android app crashes after enabling minifyEnabled
- find keep rules for butterknife or eventbus
- set up proguard files per library in gradle
- example proguard rules for crashlytics and facebook sdk

## When to choose
- you are enabling R8/ProGuard minification on an Android project and need library-specific keep rules
- you hit runtime crashes or build warnings caused by obfuscation of a known Android library
- you want to keep per-library ProGuard rules in separate reusable files

## When to avoid
- you need rules for a library not in the collection and cannot contribute one
- you need actively maintained configs for modern libraries - the repo's last release was 2019 and many listed libraries are outdated
- you need a general ProGuard/R8 tutorial rather than ready-made snippets
