Perform obfuscation of a Java application for Android
-
I will configure ProGuard/R8 rules for your Android application to eliminate false positives from antivirus software. I will apply aggressive minification + renaming for classes and methods, write keep rules for reflection and third-party SDKs, and check that the build passes and the application does not crash at runtime. Question: what build system is used, Gradle with R8 or legacy ProGuard, and is there already a proguard-rules.pro file?
-
I will set up deep obfuscation and encryption of bytecode strings to hide the logic of your application from static analysis, which triggers false positives in scanners.
What method do you plan to use to bypass dynamic (behavioral) analysis by Google Play Protect, if the antivirus reacts not to code signatures, but to specific API calls or network requests that no standard obfuscation can hide, which will lead to the app being banned again just a few days after the update?
We will discuss the budget and deadlines in personal correspondence.

323 Hello,
I will be honest: if the antivirus is already "complaining," obfuscation alone does not always solve the problem. Often the reason lies in the libraries used, the behavior of the application, or signatures that look suspicious.
We can help not just to "run ProGuard/R8," but to approach it correctly:
– analyze why exactly the antivirus is flagging
– check dependencies and suspicious parts of the code
– configure obfuscation (R8/ProGuard) without breaking logic
– if necessary, slightly change the structure/behavior to reduce false positives
…
I am the CEO of Mobiwolf, and we have worked with Android projects where stability and correct behavior after the build are important (especially during optimizations/minimization of code).
Important: we do not use obfuscation to "bypass" market or security rules — only for legitimate reduction of false positives and code protection.
Honestly from the start — we will be able to connect in about 3 weeks, but I can take a preliminary look at the APK/antivirus report and tell you if this can be resolved quickly.
To assess:
– which antivirus is flagging?
– is this an APK or an already published application?
– are third-party SDKs being used (advertising, tracking, etc.)?
Let's go private — share the APK or logs, and I will provide the actual scope of work, timelines, and cost.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
CEO, Mobiwolf

540 8 0 Good day. I can help. But I doubt that obfuscation will affect the antivirus's complaints in any way. Most likely, the solution is different.

Добрый день.
Прикрепите к работе сам файл, так будет проще сразу для исполнителей, конечно если это возможно.
