Answer 1

First check whether you really need to use shrinkResources

If so, do as suggested in developers link https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html#shrink-resources mentioned above by IntelliJ Amiya, you have to use like below

android {

    buildTypes {
        release {
            shrinkResources true  // -- always add this above minifyEnabled --
            minifyEnabled true   
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
                    'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}
