I'm using proguard.jar, retrace.jar to get a retrace from the Obfuscator.txt file. Can someone help me on which bases /tools/proguard/lib/proguard.jar and retrace.jar files will be updated? Or Can I take these two jars (proguard.jar, retrace.jar) static? In my system, it's showing Proguard.jar version 4.7 for since long. Should I update it manually? Any help will be appreciated.

That tools location is kind of obsolete. For years, proguard has been distributed with the Android Gradle Plugin, and you can find the proguard .jar file under ~/.gradle/caches (or the corresponding directory on your system where gradle stores its files). That's what gets executed in your builds, though newer Android Gradle Plugin versions default to R8 instead

For retrace, I have only seen the tool in that sdk/tools/proguard location and as such it's not the newest one.
