Introduction to Kotlin Inline Classes

Description:

Kotlin 1.3 introduced the Inline classes feature, which allows creating type-safe, semantic wrappers around values with the advantage of having less memory footprint. In this presentation, we’re going to explore what they are, how they work, and when it makes sense to use them.

Title: How we lost[masked] methods with R8

Description:

R8 is a replacement for Proguard developed by Google to make constantly growing sizes of our apps a bit smaller.

In this talk I would like to answer questions:

- What are the basic differences between Proguard and R8?

- Why would you care to migrate from Proguard to R8?

- How to migrate? What are some handy tools as well as pitfalls to be aware of?

- What were the results of migration for our app?

See you there!
