Updating Play services from 8.1 to 8.3 with Proguard enabled

Question

I tried to update play services to 8.3. Here's what I changed :

In the root gradle file :

dependencies {     classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0-beta1'     classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2' } 

And in the app gradle file :

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appinvite:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.3.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:8.3.0' 

It's building fine, but it crashes on launch with the following stack trace :

11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementContentProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementContentProvider" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/system/framework/android.test.runner.jar", zip file "/data/app/app.example.debug-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/app.example.debug-1/lib/arm, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread.installProvider(ActivityThread.java:5156)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread.installContentProviders(ActivityThread.java:4748)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread.handleBindApplication(ActivityThread.java:4688)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap1(ActivityThread.java)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1405)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:148)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5417)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:726)     11-06 17:30:17.460 2895-2895/app.example.debug E/AndroidRuntime:     at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616) 

We have proguard enabled, and usually have about 50/55k methods in our built apk. But with this setup, we get 26k.

Our original configuration was

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.4.0-beta3' 

With all the play services dependencies with version 8.1.0

Any idea about what's going on there?

EDIT

Here's our proguard file :
