I recently updated android studios to version 2.3, build tools to 25.0.2, gradle 2.3.0 and gradle distribution 3.3 and now i am getting this while building the project. Never had this issue with older versions.

BUILD FAILED
A similar issue is referenced here. It seems to be fixed in proguard 5.3.3.
Try upgrading proguard to 5.3.3 with :
buildscript {
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'net.sf.proguard:proguard-gradle:5.3.3'
}
}
}
Had similar problem,
-ignorewarnings
At the end of proguard-rules.pro fixed it.
