Answer 1

Weird solution, but I've found a way to fix it. The exact section of the code that was causing the proguard issue was separated out into a different method and at the old location that method was called. This seems to have fixed the problems, even though I'm not sure how it solved it. It just seems more and more like a Proguard bug. It works for me so that is something that others can try if they ever run into this issue.
