Hi Steve,

Thanks for answering me on Twitter and on here :-)

Your explanation make sense and now I finally understand the workflow I should follow. At the beginning I thought I could have one specific workflow for the development and the release process. But a better way is to have two separate workflows: one for the development and another for the release.

Your explanation covers at least two points I've read:
- The section "Use a single app key for each distinct app" described here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide
- The availability of the JsonReader#readFromFile(File) in the API which is useful for the development workflow.

Now I'll take a look how obfuscate the code using a grade plugin, but that's not relative to Dropbox ;)

Again thanks for the support, much appreciated.
