I have the following project setup:
Two libraries ‘commoncomponents’ and ‘libs’ that both have some activities defined e.g. with a webview and dialog helper classes.
Then there is my ‘application library’ which contains the app code which in turn is
referenced by the App ‘Free’ and the App ‘Full’.
I have enabled proguard with the following additional entry
-keepclassmembers class **.R$* {
public static <fields>;
}
However the build process fails when launching ant with the release target and proguard
complains that the R$string classes are missing
If I call ‘ant release’ on ‘commoncomponents’, ‘libs’ or ‘application library’ projects proguard succeeds,
But when I launch it on either the ‘app free’ or ‘app full’ this errormessage is comes up:

BUILD FAILED
/Developer/Java/android-sdk-macosx/tools/ant/build.xml:570: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/Developer/Java/android-sdk-macosx/tools/ant/build.xml:834: Please correct the above warnings first.
The project setup seems ok to me, since ‘ant debug’ compiles without errors.
The package name was changed to com.example and my user dir to ~/xy in the listing above
I’ve searched the web for the issue and I found a lot of posts especially here on stackoverflow, but none helped me solve the issue yet, hope someone is so kind to assist although this is my very first question.
Thanks
It turned out that the application library build file had the proguard obfuscation switched on, by switching it off all symbols were found when building the free and full application stubs.
