Unmeta Gradle Plugin for Android
A gradle plugin for Android Project to remove all Kotlin @DebugMetadata annotations from the compiled classes.
Kotlin Coroutines’ @DebugMetadata annotations are not fully processed by ProGuard / R8 and contain un-obfuscated symbol information, both in binary and plain text forms. This information can be used to more easily reverse engineer your code.
This plugin allows removing all Kotlin @DebugMetadata annotations from generated class files in * release* build.
Usage
In order to make Unmeta work with your project you have to apply the Unmeta Gradle plugin to the project. Please notice that the Unmeta plugin must be applied after the Android plugin.
Plugin DSL
// Project build.gradle.kts
plugins {
id("com.axzae.unmeta") version "1.1.0" apply false
}
// Module(app) build.gradle.kts
plugins {
// id("com.android.application")
// ...
id("com.axzae.unmeta")
}
Legacy Plugin Application
// Project build.gradle.kts
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath("com.axzae:unmeta:1.1.0")
}
}
// Module(app) build.gradle.kts
plugins {
// id("com.android.application")
// ...
id("com.axzae.unmeta")
}
Configuration
Unmeta task is bound to all release builds by default hence configuration is optional. However, the lib does expose a few configurable properties:
unmeta {
isEnabled.set(true) // Default: true
verbose.set(true) // Default: false
}
Report
Generated task report is located at $BUILD_DIR/outputs/logs/unmeta-report.txt
