Koin DI crashes with release signed apk

Question

I have an application that uses Koin DI framework. I have set all the modules for Retrofit, Database, Repository etc and works fine in the debug mode. Lately i uploaded it on Play Store but i see that it crashes when i try to launch the app. The problem is that it cannot create an Instance for my Repository class which of course has its dependencies. Here is the error that i get on my Logcat

Why is this happening since the Koin is set up correclty (because it works in debug mode)???

Answer 1

The problem solved. It seems that the provider for httpLoggingInterceptor that return NULL if it is debug mode could not create the single. So i changed my code to

single<Interceptor> {
        val httpLoggingInterceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor()
        httpLoggingInterceptor.level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY
        return@single httpLoggingInterceptor
    }

.....

single {
        val httpClientBuilder = OkHttpClient().newBuilder().apply {
            connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            writeTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            addInterceptor(get<HeaderInterceptor>())
            if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG) addInterceptor(get<Interceptor>())
        }

        return@single httpClientBuilder.build()
    }

Now it works.
