Agent-skills-standard android-deployment

Configure App Distribution — Signing, Obfuscation, and App Bundles for Android. Use when configuring Release build types, setting up signing configs, enabling R8/ProGuard minification, adding ProGuard keep rules, or preparing an .aab for Play Store submission. (triggers: build.gradle.kts, proguard-rules.pro, signingConfigs, proguard, minifyEnabled, isMinifyEnabled, isShrinkResources, .aab, releaseKeystore)

Android Deployment Standards

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

Build Configuration

Minification: Always enable
```
isMinifyEnabled = true
```
and
```
isShrinkResources = true
```
for Release builds (R8).
Format: Publish using App Bundles (.aab) for Play Store optimization.
Signing: NEVER commit keystores or passwords. Use Environment Variables / Secrets.

Proguard / R8

Rules: Keep rules minimal. Use annotations (
```
@Keep
```
) for reflection-heavy classes instead of broad wildcard rules.
Mapping: Upload
```
mapping.txt
```
to Play Console for crash de-obfuscation.

Anti-Patterns

No debuggable=true in Release: Breaks obfuscation and exposes internal logic.
No Secrets in Repo: Use local.properties or CI environment variables.
