I´m trying to remove the Android´s Log methods using Dexguard, but i´m not able to do this.

This is what I´m doing

build.gradle(:app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'dexguard'

android {

    compileSdkVersion rootProject.compileSdkVersion
    buildToolsVersion rootProject.buildToolsVersion

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = rootProject.javaSourceCompatibility
        targetCompatibility = rootProject.javaTargetCompatibility
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }

    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding = true
        dataBinding = true
        buildConfig = true
    }


   

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion xx
        targetSdkVersion rootProject.targetSdkVersion
        multiDexEnabled true
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        versionCode VERSION_CODE
        versionName COMMON_VERSION_NAME


    }


    flavorDimensions = ["deploymentType"]

    productFlavors {
        local {
            isDefault = true
            dimension "deploymentType"
        }

        mavenRelease {
            dimension "deploymentType"
        }

        mavenDevelopment {
            dimension "deploymentType"
        }
    }

    buildTypes {

        stagingStable {
            debuggable true
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            buildConfigField BOOLEAN, IS_DEBUG, TRUE
            buildConfigField BOOLEAN, IS_STAGING_STABLE, TRUE
            matchingFallbacks = ['development', 'release']
        }

    }

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/*.kotlin_module'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:$retrofitVersion"
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:$retrofitVersion"
    implementation "com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:$okHttpVersion"
}

repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
}

dexguard {
    path = '../../dexguard/DexGuard-9.5.5/'
    license = 'dexguard/dexguard-license.txt'

    configurations {
       localStagingStable{
            defaultConfiguration 'dexguard-release.pro'
            configuration 'dexguard/dexguard-release-sdk.txt'
        }
        
    }
}

where in the proguard-rules.pro

# Add project specific ProGuard rules here.
# By default, the flags in this file are appended to flags specified
# in /home/mateobosco/Android/Sdk/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt
# You can edit the include path and order by changing the proguardFiles
# directive in build.gradle.
#
# For more details, see
#   http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html

# Add any project specific keep options here:

# If your project uses WebView with JS, uncomment the following
# and specify the fully qualified class name to the JavaScript interface
# class:
#-keepclassmembers class fqcn.of.javascript.interface.for.webview {
#   public *;
#}

# Remove Android logging calls (in this case, including errors).
-optimizations code/removal/*

-assumenosideeffects public class android.util.Log

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log { *; }

and dexguard-release-sdk.txt

# We'll display some more statistics about the processed code.
-verbose

# Base rules
-include ../../../dexguard/dexguard-rules.pro

# Print a full report
-printconfiguration ../build/fullconfig.pro


# Encrypt the "geopagos" classes

-assumenosideeffects public class android.util.Log

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log { *; }

So, i create an apk using “assemble” command, and then install in my phone, but i´m still seeing the logs. What i´m doing wrong?

Thanks in advanced.
