Same here. +1

I added this in Proguard as mentioned in the ViewBindingKotlinModel class

-keepclassmembers class * extends androidx.viewbinding.ViewBinding {
public static *** bind(android.view.View);
}

but still getting the same NullPointerException.

[john-tadebois]

I get the same error with the following specs:

AGP 8.0.0
com.airbnb.android:epoxy - v5.1.3
Same stacktrace as posted in the details of this issue.

Don't know how helpful this is a year and a half later. When you update to AGP 8 it forces android.enableR8.fullMode to true. it's a more aggressive code minification. you have to explicitly set it to false in your gradle.properties file

android.enableR8.fullMode=false

That should avoid the need to figure out what rule to add

@cemore2048 solutions fixed for me. But does it acceptable to close the bug.
