Answer 1

Try change ProGuard configuration.

I found great article with ProGuard configuration which fixes the missing "android.support.v7.widget.FitWindowsFrameLayout" problem ("Solution 2: ProGuard" in the article):

http://shaneneuville.com/firebase/proguard/2017/06/17/firebase-proguard-fun.html

ProGuard configuration from article:

-keep class com.google.android.gms.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**
-keep class com.microsoft.windowsazure.messaging.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.microsoft.windowsazure.messaging.**
-keep class com.google.firebase.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.google.firebase.**
-keep class android.support.v7.widget.** { *; }
-dontwarn android.support.v7.widget.**
-keep class android.support.v4.widget.Space { *; }
-dontwarn android.support.v4.widget.Space

You should clean solution after any ProGuard configuration changes.
