IllegalArgumentException when initializing Parse about parse-sdk-android HOT 20 CLOSED

@SOGAPPS we ended up adding this to our proguard rules

-keepclassmembers public class * extends com.parse.** {
   public <init>(...);
}

from parse-sdk-android.

I fixed it by adding
-keep @com.parse.ParseClassName class com.parse.*
to proguard-rules.pro, then it no longer crashes.

I´m not sure which file in this project to add it to, maybe https://github.com/parse-community/Parse-SDK-Android/blob/master/parse/release-proguard.pro

from parse-sdk-android.

No clue, @mtrezza. I will check upcoming days. Maybe is related with latest version of AGP and R8.

@mtrezza

No, for clarity, we added the two lines of code below to our apps "proguard-rules.pro" file.

Doing this resolved our issue.

-keep @com.parse.ParseClassName class com.parse.*
-keepclassmembers public class * extends com.parse.** { public <init>(...); }

from parse-sdk-android.

@azlekov do you think a PR with these lines could fix this issue?

from parse-sdk-android.

I will compare and adjust mine in few days.

In other words, gradle 8 is not supported OOTB by the Parse SDK, is that correct?

In other words, gradle 8 is not supported OOTB by the Parse SDK, is that correct?

Yes (if you are using minifyEnabled).

from parse-sdk-android.

Pre gradle 8 minify would work, right?

from parse-sdk-android.

Yes, everything worked until I updated to Gradle 8

Thanks for clarifying, do you have an idea how to fix it? Would you want to open a PR?

from parse-sdk-android.

@azlekov, any idea how we could fix this?

from parse-sdk-android.

Experiencing this as well. Proposed fix did not resolve it for us.
Any ideas?

from parse-sdk-android.

Same issue after upgrading Gradle to version 8.
The proposed fix worked for me.

Like @hej2010 I do not have any custom subclasses registered and minifyEnabled true for release build.

from parse-sdk-android.

Currently experiencing this. Proposed fix did not resolve it for us.
We've custom subclasses registered.

@tSquaredd Did you find a fix?

from parse-sdk-android.

Thanks @tSquaredd

Using this worked for us - both "keep" & "keepclassmembers".

We added the two lines of code below to our apps "proguard-rules.pro" file.

-keep @com.parse.ParseClassName class com.parse.*
-keepclassmembers public class * extends com.parse.** { public <init>(...); }

from parse-sdk-android.

Gradle 8.0 switches to using R8 in "full mode" by default: https://r8.googlesource.com/r8/+/refs/heads/master/compatibility-faq.md#r8-full-mode
"R8 performs more aggressive optimizations, meaning additional ProGuard configuration rules may be required."

It can be disabled by adding android.enableR8.fullMode=false to gradle.properties

Does this comment already provide the solution?

@SOGAPPS In your comment did you mean one has to replace ParseClassName with the custom classes a developer is using in their app?
