How do you interpret “java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No direct method”?

Question

We decided, perhaps naively, that we should update many of our libraries from two-year-old 1.12.0-betas to nice new versions 1.20.0. For example: we updated google-http-clie

Answer 1

This issue is happened because of Proguard is applied via Proguard this class name and methods name changes that why NoSuchMethod exception is occurring.

To resolve this error please add below line into you Proguard rules.

-keep class com.google.** { *; }

Hopefully this will resolve your issue.
