Ideally we can track improvements for minified code (post r8 transforms) as compose sometimes make optimizations depending on these, e.g., changes to enable aot to inline.

It's currently impossible to apply:

release {
  testCoverageEnabled = false
  minifyEnabled true
  shrinkResources true
  proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"), 'proguard.pro'
}

to a benchmark module, even if has been converted to an app module because it fails with either:

1.

2.
