proguard: Unable to disable obfuscation to one specific class

Question

I have the following for debug purposes:

debug {
    minifyEnabled true
    shrinkResources true
    proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}

I have a class MyClass, and I'm using Gson to convert it to JSON before sending it to my server. While I expect the JSON to be {"name":"blah", "age": 40}, the server receives it as {"a":"blah", "b": 40}. I tried several things in the proguard rule files but to no avail. Here is an example of my latest try:

-keep public class com.package.package.MyClass { *; }

What am I missing? Thanks

add the `SerializedName` annotation to the fields, and add `-keepattributes *Annotation*` to your proguard config. This will obfuscate the class, but keep it's serialization names — Vladyslav Matviienko, Oct 22 '19 at 07:37
I read about it but didn't try it because I understood that the keep class way is more recommended. If nothing else works, I will try it. My question is what's wrong with what I did. Thanks. — Amos, Oct 22 '19 at 08:04
Will try it, is the syntax the same? meaning -keepclassmembers com.package.package.MyClass { *; }? — Amos, Oct 22 '19 at 09:09
