Pull request overview
This PR aims to fix a failing Android release build path in GitHub Actions, specifically around :app:minifyReleaseWithR8. However, the actual diff shown only increases the Gradle daemon heap size, and does not add or adjust any R8/ProGuard keep rules as described in the PR metadata.
Changes:
- Increased
org.gradle.jvmargsmax heap from 2GB to 4GB ingradle.propertiesto provide more memory during builds (including release/minify).
| # Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process. | ||
| # The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings. | ||
| org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 | ||
| org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 |
