+### Used compressions
+
+Blood pressure monitor uses dart code obfuscation to effectively reduce the app size by 2-3 MB from v1.5.6 onwards.
+
+For reading stack traces of and error messages use the debug symbol files from the github release and follow [the flutter docs](https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/obfuscate#read-an-obfuscated-stack-trace).
+
+Unused icons are shaken from the font during release compilation.
+
+### Ineffective compressions
+
+- Pro guard rules are not important as flutter already uses R8.
+- `android.enableR8.fullMode=true` has no effect, although further R8 configuration can be investigated.
+- Using the old apk behavior of compressing native libraries shows no to little improvements and is worse for Google play distribution.

-Compiling the app with obfuscation reduces app size by multiple megabytes. [This makes reading crashes and stack traces a bit harder](https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/obfuscate#read-an-obfuscated-stack-trace).
