Method content obfuscated improperly

Ask a Question

Hi Jack and Jonas,

I use ProGuard 7.5.0 for obfuscation for standalone Java application/service.

javax.print.DocFlavor is obfuscated into Object in a variable of a method:
DocFlavor docFlavor = supportsPdf ? BYTE_ARRAY.PDF : SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE; obfuscated to:
Object var8 = var7 ? BYTE_ARRAY.PDF : SERVICE_FORMATTED.PAGEABLE;

In the following usage, var8 not able to assign to DocFlavor:
SimpleDoc var10 = new SimpleDoc(var9, (DocFlavor)var8, var3);

I’m trying to preserve the method by using a rule:
keepclassmembers ‘class com.mycorp.util.OutputFileUtil {
*;
}’
It didn’t help - the method content still gets obfuscated. Also I tried adding:
javax.print.DocFlavor docFlavor inside the above rule. DocFlavor still obfuscated to Object.

And, this rule didn’t help either:
keepclassmembers ‘class com.mycorp.util.OutputFileUtil {
public static void printWithJavaPrintServiceApi(byte[]);
}’
Can you help to either get DocFlavor not obfuscated or get the entire method content not obfuscated?

Thanks,
Jingkun

Here are the rules:

task obfuscateJar (type: proguard.gradle.ProGuardTask) {
