Proguard-rules.txt throwing errors (unresolved class name)

[janice.jf]

My Android project’s proguard-rules.txt throwing errors (unresolved class name).

Using Android Studio 4.1.1
tools.build.gradle:4.1.1
JDK 15

I can build APKs debug/release successfully though.

Looks like this might be an android Studio Bug. See: Google Issue Tracker

It’s been fixed in Android Studio 4.2 Canary 8 (and newer)
