How to obfuscate API KEYS in AndroidManifest Android

I discovered ProGuard and I managed to get my code obfuscated. It works. Amazing tool.

But what ProGuard didn't obfuscate is the AndroidManifest.xml. I have a Google Maps API Key in my Manifest.

I "secured" this API KEY in Google Developer Console using my package name and SHA-1 fingerprint.

Is it recommended to obfuscate the api key in Manifest anyway? If so, how can I achieve this with ProGuard?

  1. Put your google key into .xml file. Never place restricts strings into AndroidManifest file
  2. Try using Dexguad

On your Dexguard file, use the commands bellow
-encryptassetfiles res/values/**
(if you are using gradle job to get your environment parameters)
-encryptstrings class my.package.Environment.class

regards.
