Reflection not working on android release apk. Even with proguard/minify disabled

Currently I'm facing an odd issue that the release apk of my app throws NoSuchFieldExceptions. It works fine on a debug apk.

The fields I am trying to get are android.widget packaged. I have also made efforts with enabling proguard too and setting configurations in the proguard.pro file

Here's the exception regardless.

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class java.lang.Class cannot access field android.widget.ProgressBar com.trinitcore.localtrade.LoginActivity.o of class java.lang.Class
