ProGuard Servives

ProGuard Services develops Java and Android application security tools from its headquarters in Belgium, maintaining both open-source and commercial software solutions since 2002. The company's flagship product, ProGuard, operates as a free open-source code shrinker and obfuscator that reduces Android application size while implementing basic reverse engineering deterrents. The core technology integrates with Android Studio and Gradle build systems, processing Java bytecode and Kotlin applications. DexGuard and R8 form the commercial segment of ProGuard's security ecosystem, building upon the base ProGuard framework with enhanced protection features. These tools implement string encryption, asset protection, and root detection while providing compatibility with major Android development frameworks including React Native, Flutter, and Unity. The platform supports the latest Android API levels and Java versions through regular security updates and maintenance releases. ProGuard's tools serve enterprise clients in banking, healthcare, and mobile commerce sectors where application security compliance is mandatory. The software processes Android APK and AAB files during the build phase, integrating with continuous integration pipelines through documented APIs and build scripts. Technical support and implementation consulting are available through annual commercial licenses.
