    Could someone help me out with how can I identify using code if a stacktrace is obfuscated using Proguard or not?

    You generally can't know for sure.

    • ProGuard by default uses names a, b, c,... for classes, fields and methods, but a developer can specify his or her own dictionaries.
    • In the ProGuard examples, the source file name in a stack trace is set to "SourceFile" and many developers adopt that as well.
