I updated my project to gradle version to 4.0 and android support version library to latest(i.e. 27.0.0) with target api with Android O(26), and made a signed release build.
Now I'm getting this crash when open the app:

I checked for duplicate dependencies and remove almost all duplicate dependencies I didn't find any seemlier question
This is due to the following optimization: method/generalization/class.
I tried to make a release build using the following rule in your dexguard configuration:
-optimizations !method/generalization/class
Its working fine for me
