Understanding Crashes & ANRs with Proguard Enabled

Question

I was taking a look at a crash report on the Developer Console and noticed that, since I have Proguard enabled, all the method names are simply letters. Naturally, this makes debugging the crash rather difficult. I somehow doubt it, but is there anyway to receive crash reports that show the actual method names, while still having Proguard enabled on my app?

Answer 1

Please, read documentation.

mapping.txt Lists the mapping between the original and obfuscated class, method, and field names. This file is important when you receive a bug report from a release build, because it translates the obfuscated stack trace back to the original class, method, and member names. See Decoding Obfuscated Stack Traces for more information.

And directly this.
