Proguard Issue - Classes.jar error

Question

I have seen all of SO also followed few steps given but I couldn\'t fix the issue. Strangely I am still getting this issue:

1 error and 176 warning when I try to build

Answer 1

not a proguard issue. Rather its an sdk 23 issue with deprecated package org.apache.http which you can resolve with the workaround

android.useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

in proper gradle format needs to be in build.gradle
