How to add Code Obfuscation for my android application

Use the below code to get your solution.

android {
    buildTypes {
            debug {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
                zipAlignEnabled true
                shrinkResources false
            }
            release {
                debuggable false
                // Enables code shrinking, obfuscation, and optimization for only
                // your project's release build type.
                minifyEnabled true

                // Includes the default ProGuard rules files that are packaged with
                // the Android Gradle plugin. To learn more, go to the section about
                // R8 configuration files.
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

                zipAlignEnabled true

                // Enables resource shrinking, which is performed by the
                // Android Gradle plugin.
                shrinkResources true
            }
        }
     }
