I imagine there are two options:

  1. Build a parallel ANT script and bypass the IDE (seems pretty inefficient when the IDE is so good)

  2. Somehow integrate Proguard/yGuard or similar with IntelliJ

I’ve tried installing plugins for Proguard/yGuard into IntelliJ but neither seem to be working (installed ok, but don’t appear under Facets), and actually I’m not 100% sure these plugins will help me obfuscate or whether they just provide a de-obfuscation facility for debugging.

I figure ANT is the best route, but would appreciate your thoughts. I just want a way to reduce the chances of someone reverse-engineering apps, but without spending hours setting it up.

    I’d vote for 1st option – write an ANT script. This has the advantage of being independent of the IDE, even a build server can run it easily.
