Unable to Build Release Apk Android Studio 3.0.1 Proguard-Rules

Question

I am trying to build the release apk of my app but I am unable to do so. I have built this app before using the old gradle and android studio I think it was version 2.3.3. I updated everything to version 3.0.1 and I am unable to build the app anymore. I tried reverting but it still cause the execution to fail, something about my proguard.

The message:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForRelease'. Job failed, see logs for details

I was able to fix my problem by adding -keeppackagenames org.jsoup.nodes in my proguard. I did not need to before I'm not sure what changed I didn't even change my jsoup version
