Obfuscation of dlls in esriAddinX.

Are there any rules regarding the replacing of dll’s in an esriAddinX? Are there conditions where updating an esriAddinX after its initial build will invalidate it? I had a small project where I replaced the original dll and pdb file with obfuscated versions and the add-in worked fine. I am currently working with a larger Add-in where obfuscating any part of the dll and then updating the esriAddinX with the obfuscated version makes the add-in crash. I understand that there are parts of the code that should not be obfuscated such as anything that inherits from contract. I am not obfuscating those classes.

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Wolfgang KaiserUma Harano‌ Is there a guide on obfuscation of an add-in? What are the best practices for obfuscation?
