This is a small selection of resources, did we get this list from anywhere specific?

I inspected the res directory and all the resources that were used in the codebase by search, were added in keep rule. For example, drawable/datepicker_background.xml wasn't being referenced anywhere, so I didn't add it to the keep rule.

So there's no prescription that says what to keep but anything that's referenced and is being used can be kept. I also tested on build variants like production and adhoc and I get the correct assets as our keep xml file is inherited for each build variant.

Resources in react-native/assets aren't touched by resource shrinker, so that's why they aren't added in the keep rules.

Okay cool, that's what I was worried about as it's not clear that alternative resourses would be kept. For example: drawable-xxxhdpi/bootsplash_logo.png

I'm just generating another test build to confirm that we're not defaulting to the lower res drawables.
