For my android project, I was building release apk(s) till now and the generated apk(s) successfully opened when launched. Today suddenly, I started getting the following exception on building the release apk after making a small change to the app. Here is the exception:

I read a few posts (this and this) regarding this crash and some of them pointed to check if the proguard-android.txt (inside <myhome>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/proguard) is properly getting read or not. So, I wrote some random sentence at the top of this file and re-ran the code. But, it successfully ran. I tried cleaning cache as well. Finally, I decided to reinstall Android Studio. And after a clean install of Android studio as well (link), I still face the same issue. I am stuck here for almost 5 hours now and want some help. If anyone has any pointers, please do help me.
The code snippet from my gradle file is:
....
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
....
