Class not found on Release Build

Question

So I have a multi module project, with App Module implement from feature module and not implementing model module. Everything works fine on Debug Build but not on Release Build with Minify Enabled on App Module. On Release Build I kept getting exception like this:

Caused by java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.lelestacia.lelenimexml.core.model.anime.Anime

Anime is a model class in Model Module, which is not being used by App Module. But in Release Build and minify enabled on App Module, this keep happening. But, everything is Normal if Minify is disabled on App Module.

Here is my repository: Github Repository
