When using Proguard version 7.3.2 getting JSONException error

Question

I am using openjdk11 and below is my proguard configuration

<proguard ignorewarnings="true" repackageclasses="controller.deps" allowaccessmodification="true" skipnonpubliclibraryclasses="false" skipnonpubliclibraryclassmembers="false" optimize="false" overloadaggressively="false" printmapping="agent-bootstrap.map" renamesourcefileattribute="SourceFile" verbose="true" >

Tried below solutions: a. Added java-json.jar jar only in build.path b. Added java-json.jar in both build.path and proguard as libraryjars and c. Added java-json.jar in proguard as libraryjars

but still same issue.

Anyone please assist on how to resolve this issue?
