dProtect is an extension of Proguard with enhanced code obfuscation features. While Proguard is known for obfuscating symbols (package names, class names, ...) and optimizing Java/Kotlin code, dProtect brings code obfuscation for Java and Kotlin on the top of Proguard:

# Arithmetic Obfuscation
-obfuscate-arithmetic,low class dprotect.examples.**
-obfuscate-arithmetic,high,skipfloat class dprotect.internal.**

# Strings Obfuscation
-obfuscate-strings class dprotect.examples.**
-obfuscate-strings class dprotect.internal.CheckPassword {
    public static java.lang.String getPassword();
    public static java.lang.String getLogin();

    private static java.lang.String KEY;
}

# Control-flow obfuscation
-obfuscate-control-flow class dprotect.internal.api.**

# Constants Obfuscation
-obfuscate-constants class dprotect.internal.api.Enum {
  *;
}

dProtect follows the same integration mechanism as Proguard such as it can be instantiated in an Android Gradle-based project as follows:

build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
          url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/open-obfuscator/dProtect")
          credentials {
              username = "your-username"
              password = "the-token"
          }
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 're.obfuscator:dprotect-gradle:1.0.0'
    }
}

You need to generate a Github token to use maven.pkg.github.com. Alternatively, you can use the dprotect-gradle-1.0.0.jar archive of the release's artifacts.

app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 're.obfuscator.dprotect'
// ...
dProtect {
    configurations {
      release {
          configuration 'dprotect-rules.pro'
      }
    }
}
