appcompat-v7 v21.0.0 causing crash on Samsung devices with Android v4.2.2
I found the proper solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26641388/1266123
By using
-keep class !android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.**,android.support.v7.** {*;}instead of
-keep class android.support.v7.** {*;}
As #150 from https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=78377 said
Because careful with -keep class !android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.**. There are a number of classes in there which are referenced from the appcompat's resources.
The better solution is add the following lines instead:
-keep class !android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.MenuBuilder, !android.support.v7.internal.view.menu.SubMenuBuilder, android.support.v7.** { *; }-keep interface android.support.v7.** { *; }
Since Appcompat 23.1.1 the .internal package in the AppCompat jar was removed.
Updated fix using proguard:
#FOR APPCOMPAT 23.1.1:-keep class !android.support.v7.view.menu.*MenuBuilder*, android.support.v7.** { *; }-keep interface android.support.v7.* { *; }
