My app is tested and working fine. But when I try to test a release apk, it crashes. I am including my proguard file and the error log I get while testing the release apk. Basically It crashes after I take a picture thru intent and then try to send the picture to a recipient over the internet. Again, my app is working fine: until proguard got into the mix.

A NOTE:

The code that sends the image is a Runnable that is started by a Thread as in new Thread(runnable).start(); very basic stuff. Again, the code works outside of proguard.

My project.properties file is using the default android file and mine.

android proguard:

# This is a configuration file for ProGuard.
# http://proguard.sourceforge.net/index.html#manual/usage.html

-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-verbose

# Optimization is turned off by default. Dex does not like code run
# through the ProGuard optimize and preverify steps (and performs some
# of these optimizations on its own).
-dontoptimize
-dontpreverify
# Note that if you want to enable optimization, you cannot just
# include optimization flags in your own project configuration file;
# instead you will need to point to the
# "proguard-android-optimize.txt" file instead of this one from your
# project.properties file.

The telltale sign is this line:

Looks like some Apache logging's classes have been renamed by Proguard, and from the Proguard config file you have

# -keep public class org.apache.commons.** { *; }

marked as comment (with '#' prefix), therefore I'd remove '#' in the above line thus telling Proguard to not rename classes within package org.apache.commons, and try again.
