I've been working on the newest version of my app and it tests just fine, but when I do a release ProGuard build, I get many errors, mostly about not being able to find org.apache.http.*, which I do not use in my project. I have searched my entire project for that text and cannot find it. I have added some dependencies but none which I think would use HTTP.
How do I figure out why ProGuard is complaining and address it properly? It says I can run "with --stacktrace option", but I can't figure out how to do that.
I appreciate any help, as I find ProGuard often confusing.
