Booster is an Android optimization framework that integrates with the Android Gradle Plugin to perform bytecode instrumentation and build-time transformations. It provides a suite of tools for enhancing application stability through runtime bug fixes, such as handling system exceptions and optimizing thread management, while also reducing APK size via resource inlining. The system supports a wide range of AGP versions through a compatibility abstraction layer and includes utilities for static analysis, dependency auditing, and build visualization.

43 changes.

The project underwent a major refactoring to support Android Gradle Plugin 8.x, migrating from the deprecated Transform API to the modern Artifact API and removing legacy compatibility layers. Concurrently, the Booster framework significantly expanded its bytecode instrumentation capabilities, introducing new transformers for thread optimization, media player interception, and resource validation, while adding diagnostic Gradle tasks for build artifact inspection.

18 changes.

This period focused on extending support for Android Gradle Plugin versions 8.0 through 9.0 via a new compatibility abstraction layer. It also introduced standalone modules for class hierarchy analysis, call graph construction, and Gradle task visualization to enhance static analysis and build tooling capabilities.

The booster-annotations module now includes a new Priority annotation for class-level metadata and a Chinese-language API reference document (packages-zh-CN.md) describing the package's role in Booster plugin development.
