title: How to turn off only the obfuscation in Android R8?
body: <p>I use Android Studio 3.3 Canary 5, Gradle 4.9, gradle plugin 3.3.0-alpha05</p>
  
  <pre><code>minifyEnabled true
  useProguard false
  proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does't work.</p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>@JakeWharton: "You use ProGuard configurations for this, not a Gradle DSL. Disable shrinking with -dontshrink, disable obfuscation with -dontobfuscate, and disable optimization with -dontoptimize."</p>
