App crash in release build for enabling proguard when using GreenDao

Question

I am using GreenDao in my project, when I build the application in release mode then the app crashes. If I disable proguard (minifyEnabled false) in gradle then it's running perfectly. I have used the following rules in proguard.

### greenDAO 3
-keepclassmembers class * extends org.greenrobot.greendao.AbstractDao {
public static java.lang.String TABLENAME;
}
-keep class **$Properties

# If you do not use SQLCipher:
-dontwarn org.greenrobot.greendao.database.**
# If you do not use RxJava:
-dontwarn rx.**

The error log is as follows:

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.greenrobot.greendao.DaoException: Could not init DAOConfig

Do you have any idea why this error occurs? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Finally, I solved the issue by preserving all of my entity (data) classes.

# Preserve all entity (data) classes
-keep class com.xxx.xxx.entity.* {*;}

Answer 2

Try following code snippet

-keepattributes *Annotation*
-keepclassmembers class * {
   @org.greenrobot.eventbus.Subscribe <methods>;
}
-keep enum org.greenrobot.eventbus.ThreadMode { *; }

# Only required if you use AsyncExecutor
-keepclassmembers class * extends 
org.greenrobot.eventbus.util.ThrowableFailureEvent {
<init>(java.lang.Throwable);
}
