Runtime exception on startup using the relase build ClassNotFoundException: twitter4j.TwitterImpl

[dewijones92]

Hi
The debug version apk runs fine but the release version crashes on startup. Suggestions please? 😄

I used the following commands to build and install:

./gradlew  build
apksigner sign --ks wear/keystore ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk
adb install  ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk

Exception on app startup:
