Optimizing React Native Apps with ProGuard
React Native provides a powerful framework for building mobile applications using JavaScript and React. However, optimizing performance and reducing app size are crucial for delivering high-quality user experiences. One effective tool for achieving these optimizations, especially for Android apps, is ProGuard.

What is ProGuard?
ProGuard is a tool that comes with the Android SDK. It helps optimize and obfuscate Java code to make applications smaller and more efficient. It removes unused code, renames classes and methods to make the code less readable (obfuscation), and performs various optimizations to improve performance.
In a React Native project, ProGuard can be used to optimize the Java and Kotlin parts of the Android codebase. This is particularly useful when dealing with large libraries or custom native modules.
