UsesReflectionToAccessMethod

@Retention(value = AnnotationRetention.BINARY)
@Repeatable
@Target(allowedTargets = [AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FIELD, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.CONSTRUCTOR])
public annotation UsesReflectionToAccessMethod

The annotated code uses reflection to indirectly access a method of the specified class/interface, or its subclasses / interface implementers.

This annotation indicates to optimizers or shrinkers that the target method should be preserved if the annotated code is reachable in the final application build.
