Did you try the release version? It has a few progaurd issues - one runtime exception (the gson lib need to update to 2.11.0, that will fix it, maybe), a few class cast exception ( I don't know why are these happening, need to look throughly). Try the release build, you will find it.

release {
minifyEnabled true
}

I had enabled this property in the release build, to keep only the necessary code in the release build variant. Earlier that property was false which could've potentially included unnecessary code in the release variant thereby slowing down the performance of the app.

Now, as per your suggestion, I updated gson lib to 2.11.0 and still there are issues while launching on device, although there are no issues in compiling. Let me raise an updated PR after fixing these issues.

I was able to fix the issue. Actually, since you never used minifyEnabled=true before, your app size was ~17MB on app launch after installation. Now that I had enabled obfuscation, the app size was reduced to ~9MB at runtime (~8MB saved 😉). But, this resulted in a possible erasure of method signatures and class types/members for model classes in the release built due to the proguard rules.

I was able to preserve the types during compile time (which also fixed the runtime crash) using-

-keep class com.wirelessalien.android.bhagavadgita.data.** {
    !transient <fields>;
}

As a result, now the release build variant is both lightweight and performant. Let me know if you find any issues, although I have tested it from my side.
