A gradle plugin for Android Project to remove all Kotlin [`@DebugMetadata`][debugmetadata] annotations from the compiled classes. Kotlin Coroutines' [`@DebugMetadata`][debugmetadata] annotations [are not fully processed by ProGuard / R8][1] 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`][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 ```kotlin // Project build.gradle.kts plugins { id("com.axzae.unmeta") version "1.0.0" apply false } // Module(app) build.gradle.kts plugins { id("com.android.application") // ... id("com.axzae.unmeta") } ``` #### Legacy Plugin Application ```kotlin // Project build.gradle.kts buildscript { dependencies { classpath("com.axzae:unmeta:1.0.0") } } // 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: ```kotlin unmeta { isEnabled.set(true) // Default: true verbose.set(true) // Default: false } ``` ## Contributing Feel free to open a issue or submit a pull request for any bugs/improvements. ## License Copyright (c) 2023 Axzae Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
