I'm developing an app using Android Studio, and when I switched from debug to release build variant, it began to crash. While on debug it doesn't happen anything at all. The real problem is that I can't find where is the true error, as every reference is renamed.

Have you faced an error like this, that has happened only on release?

The printed stack is this:

Thank you guys

EDIT: So as AesSedai101 stated, it was a matter between Proguard and something I am using: Ormlite. So I'll add the tag and a proguard file that worked to me:

-keepattributes Signature
-keep class com.korcholis.clothio.data.** {     *; }
-keep class com.j256.**
-keepclassmembers class com.j256.** { *; }
-keep enum com.j256.**
-keepclassmembers enum com.j256.** { *; }
-keep interface com.j256.**
-keepclassmembers interface com.j256.** { *; }

Replace com.korcholis.clothio.data.** with the package where you store your database models, but don't forget the final .**

Looks like Proguard is removing a constructor from one of your classes. Be sure to add the Proguard config as specified in the manual. If this is not added, Proguard will remove all unused code, which includes things like Activity constructors.
