I'm using the signup function of AWS' Amplify Auth in my Flutter app. The function is working fine when I run the code in Android Studio and test it on an emulator/phone. I'm able to add a new user to Cognito and verify the user.

But when I build the APK and try to run that APK on the same emulator/phone, the signup function is throwing some error in logcat and signup is not working as it was during debugging. I am not understanding why this error does not occur when I'm testing my code through Android Studio.

Here's the error:

          options: CognitoSignUpOptions(

      setState(() {
        isSignUpComplete = res.isSignUpComplete;
      });
      navigateToConfirmPage(context);

    } on AuthError catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }
  }

The problem is with R8 removing some amplify's file. Include following two checks in proguard_rules.pro file

-keep class com.amazonaws.** { *; }
-keep class com.amplifyframework.** { *; }

Please note : this error appears only on release apk build without no-shrink flag.
