ADFA-5195: Generate R8 keep rules for the published plugin ABI - #1701
ADFA-5195: Generate R8 keep rules for the published plugin ABI#1701Daniel-ADFA wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Plugins load via DexClassLoader, so R8 sees no reference to what they call. Only plugin-api was protected, by the existing -keep on com.itsaky.androidide.plugins.**; the other three modules merged into the published plugin-api coordinate (common, eventbus-events, idetooltips) had no rule and survived only because the host happens to use them. GeneratePluginApiKeepRules emits one -keep per class from the fat jar assemblePluginApiFatJar already builds, so the rules are exactly the published ABI and cannot drift as classes move. The provider goes into Variant.proguardFiles for release variants, which lets Gradle infer the dependency for every consumer: R8 and lint both read that list, and wiring only R8 with dependsOn fails validation in a real release build. Debug variants are untouched so they never pull in the fat jar. Package wildcards were not an option: :common spans 21 packages and shares com.itsaky.androidide.utils with :idetooltips and :app. Measured on v8 debug at 28e00f1: all 420 ABI classes and every callable member already survive R8 today, so this ticket's reported breakage does not reproduce. Verified in the shipped dex and on device, where a probe plugin loaded and resolved 420/420 ABI classes against an R8-shrunk host. The rules cost 80 bytes of dex and leave the defined method count unchanged; they turn an accident into a guarantee. R8 itself saves 18.34 MB of dex (157.0 -> 138.6 MB, 36 -> 16 dex files). Also verified in CI by building both release variants from this change with publishing disabled: v7 and v8 green. Side effect: assemblePluginApiFatJar hardcodes the v8Release variants of the three add-on modules, so a v7 release build now also compiles those.

Three findings from a review of the diff. All medium — none block the mechanism, which is sound (the Variant.proguardFiles wiring is the right AGP 8.8.2 API, and the emitted rule syntax checks out against a real plugin-api-1.0.0.jar). They're about the rules being unexercised today, and two ways the task can silently produce wrong or empty output.

These rules are inert on stage today. app/proguard-rules.pro still has -dontshrink (line 205), -dontobfuscate (5) and -dontoptimize (15), so R8 is a pass-through and cannot remove anything.
That makes the "all 420 ABI classes and every callable member already survive R8" verification a tautology — it holds because R8 removes nothing, not because these rules work. They won't actually be exercised until the ADFA-5156 -dontshrink rollback is lifted, and that same build is where the documented kotlin.** failure (ArraysKt.maxOrNull([F)) recurs. The ABI rules are necessary but not sufficient.
Worth a cross-reference near -dontshrink in proguard-rules.pro, or in the generated file's header, so the next reader doesn't assume the plugin ABI is already protected.

Hardcoding this path decouples the task from its producer. assemblePluginApiFatJar's archiveFileName/destinationDirectory are the real source of truth, and build/plugin-maven-repo-staging/ is never cleaned between builds.
Concretely: bump the published coordinate to 1.1.0 (touching the existing spots further down this file) and miss this line. On an incremental build the stale plugin-api-1.0.0.jar is still on disk, so the task silently generates keep rules for the old ABI and the release build stays green with wrong rules. On a clean build it instead fails with an opaque "file specified for property 'fatJar' does not exist".
fatJar.set(tasks.named<Jar>("assemblePluginApiFatJar").flatMap { it.archiveFile })That fixes both cases and makes the dependsOn on line 458 unnecessary.

No guard against an empty or partial rule set. If the fat jar ever yields zero .class entries, this writes a file containing only a newline, logs "Wrote 0 plugin-ABI keep rules", and the build succeeds with the ABI completely unprotected.
The partial case is worse and entirely silent: assemblePluginApiFatJar merges four hardcoded AGP intermediate paths (intermediates/aar_main_jar/<variant>/sync<Variant>LibJars/classes.jar) with DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE. Drop one from(...), or have an AGP upgrade change one module's intermediate layout so its jar comes through empty, and roughly 300 :common rules vanish with no signal at all.
Since the task's entire purpose is a guarantee, it should fail loudly — check(classes.isNotEmpty()) at minimum, ideally a per-module or minimum-count sanity check.
Review feedback on #1701. fatJar read a hardcoded plugin-maven-repo-staging/plugin-api-1.0.0.jar path, decoupling the task from assemblePluginApiFatJar's archiveFileName. Bumping the published coordinate and missing that line would leave the stale plugin-api-1.0.0.jar on disk (the staging dir is never cleaned), so the task would emit keep rules for the old ABI and the release build would stay green. It now takes archiveFile straight from the task provider, which also makes the explicit dependsOn redundant. The task also had no guard on its own output, though its whole purpose is a guarantee. The fat jar merges four hardcoded AGP intermediate paths with DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE, so a dropped from(...) or an AGP layout change yields a jar missing a whole module with no signal: roughly 300 :common rules would vanish silently. Added a non-empty check plus one sentinel class per merged module. A minimum-count floor would be arbitrary, and package prefixes cannot stand in for modules since :common and :idetooltips both contribute classes to com.itsaky.androidide.utils. The registration moves below assemblePluginApiFatJar so it can reference that provider, so most of this diff is the reindent the move forces.
The generated plugin-ABI keep rules could not do any work. -dontshrink made R8 a pass-through, so d5ea3a4's "all 420 ABI classes survive R8" result held because R8 removed nothing, not because the rules worked. ADFA-5156 reached for -dontshrink to protect one library and disabled shrinking across the whole app to do it; the targeted fix its own description proposed (keep kotlin.** and kotlinx.coroutines.**) was never applied. Applying it now restores dead-code removal everywhere else. Measured with :app:minifyV8ReleaseWithR8 and :app:minifyV7ReleaseWithR8, same machine, only this flag changing. v7 and v8 are identical since the dex is ABI-neutral: -dontshrink shrinking on dex files 15 10 dex total 115.96 MiB 87.82 MiB classes defined 102,068 80,637 plugin ABI classes 420/420 420/420 ADFA-5156 call sites 12/12 12/12 kotlin.** holds at 3702 -> 3703 classes and kotlinx.coroutines.** at 895 while everything else drops 43%, so the stdlib survives because of these keeps rather than because R8 sat idle. -dontobfuscate and -dontoptimize stay, leaving the ADFA-3604 metadata-corruption workaround untouched. This corrects two claims in d5ea3a4's message: the dex saving is 28.14 MiB, not 18.34 MB, and its ABI survival figure was measured against a pass-through. Verified by dex-scanning both variants for the 420 published ABI classes and for the kotlin.* call sites ADFA-5156 listed, resolving through superclasses and super-interfaces because the stdlib facades inherit these members rather than declaring them (ArraysKt.maxOrNull lives on ArraysKt___ArraysKt, Channel.send on SendChannel). Not verified on device: that needs a full release APK and a physical arm device. ADFA-5164 narrows kotlin.** to a frozen subset later, at which point plugins bundle whatever falls outside it.

Plugins load via DexClassLoader, so R8 sees no reference to what they call. Only plugin-api was protected, by the existing -keep on com.itsaky.androidide.plugins.**; the other three modules merged into the published plugin-api coordinate (common, eventbus-events, idetooltips) had no rule and survived only because the host happens to use them.
GeneratePluginApiKeepRules emits one -keep per class from the fat jar assemblePluginApiFatJar already builds, so the rules are exactly the published ABI and cannot drift as classes move. The provider goes into Variant.proguardFiles for release variants, which lets Gradle infer the dependency for every consumer: R8 and lint both read that list, and wiring only R8 with dependsOn fails validation in a real release build. Debug variants are untouched so they never pull in the fat jar. Package wildcards were not an option: :common spans 21 packages and shares com.itsaky.androidide.utils with :idetooltips and :app.
