Breakpoints not Working in Android Studio 3.3

Question

After noticing that some breakpoints are not getting hit, I found this post that answers why:

Breakpoints not working on Android Studio 3.3

I don't recall this happening prior to Android Studio 3.3. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that breakpoints will get hit on conditional statements?

Answer 1

Found here setting minifyEnabled false in the debug build is the best practice.

I just change minifyEnabled in build.grandle to 'false' on debug buildTypes and it works!

did it really work for you? Did you really had the same issue has @user982687, I already had minifyEnable = false on every buildType and upon upgrading I have the exact same issue has the OP. What bugs me the most, is that breakpoints on conditional statements are the most useful to me, and they were working before! – Padlock

When proguard is enabled, the breakpoints won't work. The method names and attributes would have been obfuscated. – Himyaritic
