I'm not sure this will ever be possible. Proguard is conceptually similar to our linker, and as such it requires a "global" view of all Java bytecode so that it knows which types and members to preserve. The problem is that it can't have such a global view, because the actual use is in C# code, which Proguard can't investigate. This might be possible if we altered the build system so that the generated ACWs contained type+method references that mirrored the C# code, but any C# method can reference a Java type, not just ACWs, so even this idea would be incomplete. A "complete" solution would be a major undertaking, and we have many higher priority tasks to work on before even considering this... - Jon _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
