How to stop proguard from obfuscating entire package?

Question

I need to prevent Proguard from obfuscating any classes from the package com.foo.*.

I have tried:

-keep com.foo.** {
    <fields>;
    <methods>;
    <constructors>;
}

But proguard says :

Error: Unexpected keyword 'com.sun.foo.**' in line 32 of file 'obfuscationConfig.pro', included from argument number 1

I get a similar error if I try keep name com.foo** or keep * com.foo.**.

Did you ever find out why this was giving you "Unexpected keyword"? I was using something similar and it used to work but I've been getting the same error recently. — speedynomads, Nov 03 '16 at 09:42

Try to use the following:

-keep class com.foo.** {
  public protected private *;
}

Won't this just keep everything? – tomwhipple May 22 '13 at 22:56
@tomwhipple it will keep everything in `com.foo` package (and subpackages) – Volo May 26 '13 at 12:44

... the answer is "Yes", to prevent package-private member obfuscation you must add a new line in the block, `*;` What a user-hateful abomination. – nmr Apr 18 '15 at 19:42
@tomwhipple Inner classes will still be obfuscated within com.foo and its subpackages. – Brendan Weinstein May 10 '16 at 21:34
Hi, How to keep just one class file this way? – Nux Jul 17 '19 at 19:29
@Nux you just need to write the full class name instead of a pattern. So line 1 should look like: `-keep class com.foo.FooClass {` – Volo Jul 25 '19 at 20:22
