Something went wrong while trying to deserialize a response from the server

[Tolansoft]

When testing app from Google Play console internal test channel with release build with ;

        minifyEnabled true
        shrinkResources true

"Something went wrong while trying to deserialize a response from the server" error occurs on Model answer

There is no Logcat info on Android Studio when it occurs.

What i tried is : Added lines below to my proguard-rules.pro

-keep class androidx.compose.ui.*.*{*;} -keep class com.google.ai.*.*{*;}

but not works

Thank you!

Hi @Tolansoft thanks for your report. Is this an error you are seeing consistently across different executions and using different prompts? or is it restricted to some use cases?

Hi Rodrigo, thank you for your response. I only tested app with Xiaomi 11T device. Release version with; minifyEnabled true shrinkResources true not works. Only works if values above false. Debug mode with; minifyEnabled true or false shrinkResources true or false works. But when i test Release version directly from Android studio with debuggable mode with; minifyEnabled true shrinkResources true debuggable true It works. When testing on internal channel of Play Console it never works. May it be something SHA issue? Thank you! Have a nice day! 19 Ara 2023 Sal 21:07 tarihinde Rodrigo Lazo ***@***.***> şunu yazdı:

@emilypgoogle could you please take a look? Thanks!

Will do

I believe this is an issue of misconfigured proguard rules, a large amount of our internal classes are obfuscated with the rules you've posted. Several internal types rely on automatic serialization based on symbol names, so you'll need to not obfuscate them. Try -keep class com.google.ai.** {*;} or similar. For more testing with proguard exclusions, you can use https://playground.proguard.com/

Hey @Tolansoft PR #23 fixes the issue by shipping the right proguard.txt as part of the SDK. This will be part of the next release. In the meanwhile, following @emilypgoogle advice on the comment above is a viable workaround. Once again, thanks for your report!

Hey Rodrigo and Emily and thanks for fixing it!

#23 merged

It will be better if you add the -keep class com.google.ai.** {*;} rule in the readme, Thank you!

@davidmotson I see you're working on serialization in your branch, I still see this serialization error response even though the first flow emission is of a valid response.

looks like it's having a hard time parsing out the following response (no surprise - I wouldn't expect this invalid json either),

data: {"candidates": [{"content": {"parts": [{"text": " This is a photo of a group of people who work together. They are posing in front of a mural of a forest."}],"role": "model"},"finishReason": "STOP","index": 0,"safetyRatings": [{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"}]}],"promptFeedback": {"safetyRatings": [{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"},{"category": "HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT","probability": "NEGLIGIBLE"}]}}
