Proguard: IllegalArgumentException - Unexpected error while evaluating instruction

Question

I'm trying to build a release apk with the proguard enabled. I'm getting the error below. I will attach the full stacktrace below.

Unexpected error while evaluating instruction:
Class       = [*]
  Method      = [myMethod(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/util/Map;)V]
  Instruction = [532] aload_3 v3
  Exception   = [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] (Value is not a reference value [proguard.evaluation.value.UnknownIntegerValue])
  Unexpected error while performing partial evaluation:
  Class       = [*]
  Method      = [myMethod(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/util/Map;)V]
  Exception   = [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] (Value is not a reference value [proguard.evaluation.value.UnknownIntegerValue])
:*:proguardRelease FAILED

I've narrowed the issue down to lines of code that is not mentioned in the stacktrace.

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
                    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                    ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

If I am to comment this out, proguard finishes without problem.

I've currently upgraded the proguard to the new 5.0 and it had no effect.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

This is probably a bug in ProGuard's optimization of enum types. You may be able to work around it by disabling this optimization:

-optimizations !class/unboxing/enum

If you can file a bug report or mail me details, I'll look into it.
