Hi @ruthvp,

First of all welcome to the community!

ProGuard 7.0.0 accidentally does not contain the Ant plugin in lib/proguard.jar

This is now fixed in ProGuard 7.1-beta1:

Try downloading the 7.1-beta.zip from Github and check back in to confirm you managed to pass a build if possible. The manual there is updated also.

Kind Regards,

Jack
