java - Fabric/Crashlytics NoClassDefFoundError only on certain devices

Question

I'm seeing a crash in Google Play related to Fabric/Crashlytics. This happened after I updated from normal Crashlytics to the new Fabric Crashlytics. I can only reproduce it on one of my devices (Galaxy S2). All other devices that I have (Nexus 5 and S4) do not have the crash. Here's the stack trace:

Answer 1

I just figured it out with a hunch! I recently had to add multi-dex support after upgrading to the new Fabric framework, and I had a feeling that maybe I didn't do it correctly. So after adding these additional changes, now it no longer crashes:

In my build.gradle, I added an incremental settings:

dexOptions {
        incremental true
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }

and an additional dependency:

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:'

and on my application class I'm extending MultiDexApplication:

public class TownsquareEvents extends android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication
