Answer 1

I did some digging in the docs. You have not supplied your whole configuration file, but I'm guessing that that com.trusteer.trf.dex_parser is set to both keep and not to obfuscate.

This means that there is a refrence from com.trusteer.trf.dex_parser to a class called org.jf.dexlib2.dexbacked.DexBackedDexFile that was either shrunk or obfuscated. This means that the link is now broken - dex_parser can't import DexBackedDexFile.

So either disable shrinking and obfuscation for DexBackedDexFile, or allow optimization and obfuscation on dex_parser.
