Answer 1

You should make sure that you are using the latest version of the Android SDK or at least the latest version of ProGuard (version 4.7 at this time of writing) inside the SDK (android-sdk/tools/proguard/lib/proguard.jar).

Answer 2

Add !code/allocation/variable is workaround for ProGuard bug when -dontobfuscate is set to your -optimizations

For example

-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*,!code/allocation/variable
