[sjudd]

Are you able to reproduce with a more recent version of Glide?

I have this same issue with Glide 4.11.

Any idea what the issue might be?

[TWiStErRob]

@casolorz Can you consistently reproduce this?
If yes, I would suggest trying -dontobfuscate in Proguard and see if it reproduces (expected to, if it was consistent before).
Then -dontoptimize to rule out ProGuard messing up the bytecode in .class files.

[casolorz]

I'll have to try that on my next release, for this one I went back to 4.10 and the crash reports ended.

I'll have to try that on my next release, for this one I went back to 4.10 and the crash reports ended.

Same problem. We had to downgrade to 4.10 to prevent the app from crashing on Android 4. Please fix it.

[hiddow]

Same problem，go back 4.10 with ExifInterface: Invalid image: ExifInterface got an unsupported image format file(ExifInterface supports JPEG and some RAW image formats only) or a corrupted JPEG file to ExifInterface.

[milkaman]

I have the same problem, but updating proguard rules from this https://github.com/bumptech/glide/blob/master/library/proguard-rules.txt
solved this problem

[v1k]

Faced the same issue, but updating proguard helped.
@milkaman Thanks a lot!

[YousufSohail]

Updating proguard rules fixed the crash but images stop loading in imageview. @milkaman @v1k

[mhd-dll]

Updating proguard rules doesn't fix the crash, we had to downgrade to 4.10.0 to prevent the app from crashing
