[Question] Is there any specific reason why R8/Minify is disabled in release builds? about imgurviewer HOT 4 CLOSED

I wanted to ask if there are any other reasons you decided not to enable R8 in your release builds.

Depends, laziness is a good reason? 😆 I skipped the minification exactly because of the issues you mentioned, it's no always easy to know what's going to fail, so better safe than sorry.

One clear benefit of having R8 on is a much-optimized APK size. For example, R8-enabled builds have a 50% reduced APK size as they don't contain many unused/unreferenced parts of the dependencies used by the app.

Yes, I know, but we are talking about an 8MB application, so I honestly did not care at all.

If you don't mind, can I create a PR with these changes?

Sure! If someone already took the time we should enjoy the benefits. 😄

Thanks!
