[Android] Exception while initializing GoogleVR from Unity library using Gradle build system (Release build)

Mobile

-

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open Unity and create a new project
2) Switch platform to Android in the Build settings
3) In the Player Settings, enable Virtual Reality Supported and add Cardboard SDK in to the list
4) Create a new Keystore
5) In the Build Settings, change Build system in to the Gradle(New)
6) Build and Run project on a device

Expected result: GoogleVR should be initialized without an exception.

Actual result: Exception while initializing GoogleVR from Unity library using non Development build :

Google VR Error []: Exception initializing GoogleVR from Unity library. Didn't find class "com.unity3d.unitygvr.GoogleVR" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.Company.GradleFailVr-2/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.Company.GradleFailVr-2/lib/arm, /data/app/com.Company.GradleFailVr-2/base.apk!/lib/armeabi-v7a, /system/lib, /vendor/lib]]

    I was able to get around this by updating my Google VR Android package from the package manager, and also updating from the .unitypackage from the Google Vr Unity SDK https://github.com/googlevr/gvr-unity-sdk

    I also ran into this issue while configuring Proguard minification for my project in Unity 2017.2. I had added a my own Proguard rules to proguard-user.txt as specified by the docs (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-gradle-overview.html), and I resolved the missing class issue you described by adding the Unity and GVR rules to my proguard-user.txt:

    ## Unity Proguard

    -keep class bitter.jnibridge.* { *; }
    -keep class com.unity3d.** { *; }
    -keep class org.fmod.* { *; }

    ## Google GVR SDK Proguard

    # Don't obfuscate any NDK/SDK code. This makes the debugging of stack traces in
    # in release builds easier.
    -keepnames class com.google.vr.ndk.** { *; }
    -keepnames class com.google.vr.sdk.** { *; }

    # These are part of the Java <-> native interfaces for GVR.
    -keepclasseswithmembernames,includedescriptorclasses class com.google.vr.** {
    native <methods>;
    }

    -keep class com.google.vr.cardboard.UsedByNative
    -keep @com.google.vr.cardboard.UsedByNative class *
    -keepclassmembers class * {
    @com.google.vr.cardboard.UsedByNative *;
    }

    -keep class com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByNative
    -keep @com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByNative class *
    -keepclassmembers class * {
    @com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByNative *;
    }

    -keep class com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByReflection
    -keep @com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByReflection class *
    -keepclassmembers class * {
    @com.google.vr.cardboard.annotations.UsedByReflection *;
    }

    Until Unity rolls out a proper fix for this, you can work around it by changing the Player Settings > Publishing Settings > Minify setting for Release to "None".

    The crash is coming from Proguard obfuscating GVR class names so they are no longer accessible externally.
