Answer 1

With the DexGuard gradle plugin that you are using, you can't use

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

Just use:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'

Answer 2

For dexguard 8.5.09, DexGuard plugin could be supported by Android Gradle plugin 3.5.0. We do not need to downgrade the Android Gradle plugin version from 3.5.0 to 3.4.0.

I fix it by the following:
