Description: After updating from KDE Connect Android v1.34.4 to v1.35.1, the SMS plugin fails to load entirely. The phone logs show SMSPlugin.onCreate() throwing an exception during MMS parsing, which causes Device.addPlugin() to return false. All subsequent SMS requests from the desktop fail with "no plugin can handle it". Steps to reproduce: 1. Install KDE Connect Android v1.35.1 from the Play Store (release build) 2. Pair with a desktop running KDE Connect 3. Request SMS conversations from the desktop 4. Observe "Ignoring packet with type kdeconnect.sms.request_conversations because no plugin can handle it" in logcat Expected behavior: SMS plugin loads successfully and conversations are returned. Actual behavior: SMSPlugin.onCreate() crashes during MMS parsing. The plugin is never registered and all SMS functionality is broken. Logcat output (filtered to KDE Connect, captured via adb logcat --pid=<PID>): E KDE/addPlugin: plugin failed to load SMSPlugin E KDE/addPlugin: java.lang.Exception E KDE/addPlugin: at org.kde.kdeconnect.helpers.SMSHelper.getMessagePdu(...)

W Ignoring packet with type kdeconnect.sms.request_conversations because no plugin can handle it Root cause analysis: Commit 8f6a2b5e changed the ProGuard base file from proguard-android.txt to proguard-android-optimize.txt. The former includes -dontoptimize; the latter does not. The project's proguard-rules.pro keeps org.kde.kdeconnect.** and org.apache.sshd.**, but does not keep the com.google.android.mms.** classes provided by the android-smsmms dependency (org.kde.invent.sredman:android-smsmms). That library also ships no consumer ProGuard rules. With R8 optimization enabled, the PduPersister, PduCache, and MultimediaMessagePdu classes from the android-smsmms library are aggressively transformed. This breaks PduPersister.load(), which is called by SMSHelper.getMessagePdu() during parseMMS(). The exception propagates up through the catch blocks (likely because R8 also transforms the exception handling in getMessagePdu() and getMessages()) and reaches Device.addPlugin(), which catches it and prevents the SMS plugin from loading. This worked in v1.34.4 because -dontoptimize prevented R8 from transforming code in unprotected classes. Proposed fix: Add to proguard-rules.pro: # The android-smsmms library uses reflection-heavy PDU parsing classes # that break under R8 optimization -keep class com.google.android.mms.** {*;} Alternatively, the android-smsmms library itself should ship consumer ProGuard rules via consumerProguardFiles in its build.gradle. Environment: - KDE Connect Android: 1.35.1 (Play Store release) - Device: Samsung Galaxy S24+ (SM-S926U1) - Android version: 15 - Desktop: KDE Connect daemon via cosmic-ext-connected on Linux - v1.34.4 worked correctly on the same device
