         You must avoid such dependencies, since the program classes will

I'm using the latest version of sdk 23 , this is my gradle file :

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.x.x"
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}



dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.0'
    compile files('libs/acra-4.5.0.jar')
    compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.8.4-with-sources.jar')
    compile files('libs/org.apache.http.legacy.jar')
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'jp.wasabeef:recyclerview-animators:1.2.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
}

What is wrong ? where I do wrong in this code?

Just add this on proguard:

-keep class org.apache.http.** { *; }
-dontwarn org.apache.http.**
-dontwarn android.net.**
