fix(android): AGP 9.0 no longer supports `proguard-android.txt` by terencehonles · Pull Request #8315 · ionic-team/capacitor

terencehonles · 2026-01-20T17:56:43Z

This change replaces the default proguard file proguard-android.txt with proguard-android-optimize.txt which allows proguard optimizations.

Alternatively, AGP 9 compatibility can be achieved by opting out of the change with android.r8.globalOptionsInConsumerRules.disallowed=false

fixes: #8314

Thanks! This should fix #8314

terencehonles · 2026-01-20T18:11:11Z

@theproducer I also opened ionic-team/capacitor-plugins#2468 for the plugins in that repo if you have the ability to kick off the CI.

Do we want to merge this now? I would imagine we'd officially add support for a new AGP major version in a Capacitor Plugin major version. I don't know if there's precedent on this.

Do we want to merge this now? I would imagine we'd officially add support for a new AGP major version in a Capacitor Plugin major version. I don't know if there's precedent on this.

I would think it should be merged in a minor version since it doesn't require an AGP upgrade, and without this change it is blocking AGP upgrades from downstream apps. The effect of this particular change is that r8 may perform optimizations it wasn't previously able to perform, but my thought would be if there are any optimizations that shouldn't be performed then the library's proguard rules should be updated so that it doesn't cause any breaking changes.

I'm not sure what those might be for @capacitor/core as it already has a proguard file, and I would hope those are up to date.

        release {

@terencehonles

What I would do for now is remove this change on the template from this PR and open another one just for android-template so that we can ship that in a separate release (possibly with other AGP 9.0 changes).

We are updating our guidance for now to tell people to upgrade to 8.13.0 in the meanwhile: ionic-team/capacitor-docs#515

That's true... I forgot I updated the template file, and that doesn't need to update (and should go in a major update)

done: #8318

This change replaces the default proguard file `proguard-android.txt` with `proguard-android-optimize.txt` which allows proguard optimizations.

✅ Makes more sense to have the change compartmentalised in two PRs.

Thanks for the contribution!

@capacitor/app still needs to be updated. Error is still present when using this package.
