I have an app which i am updating for new version. The app runs well in debug mode where when i create a signed APK and run it on my device, it crashes. I checked the logcat and following is the stack trace:

}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext());
FacebookSdk.setApplicationId(getResources().getString(R.string.facebook_app_id));
// MyApplication.context = getApplicationContext();
//reference: https://github.com/ACRA/acra/wiki/BasicSetup
//The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA
ACRA.init(this);
mInstance = this;
AnalyticsTrackers.initialize(this);
AnalyticsTrackers.getInstance().get(AnalyticsTrackers.Target.APP);
}
}
ACRA.init(this) is line no. 42 in this.

EDIT 2: I don't think anything is wrong with ACRA as i tried signing after removing ACRA from my project but still the error is same.
EDIT 3: After many hit and tries, i figured out that cause of this issue is Google Analytics. When i build APK without Google Analytics(by removing last two line of onCreate in MyApplication, it works fine whereas with those lines it crashes and the logcat remains same as shown above.
