java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.marianhello.bgloc.ActivityRecognitionLocationProvider about react-native-background-geolocation HOT 2 CLOSED

After finaggling play-services dependencies and multidex, I've narrowed it down to dependencies/proguard. I've resolved my issue by pinning play services deps to a particular version, using multidex, and making sure I have included play-services-location.

Full dependencies for posterity...

dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
  compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
  compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
  compile (project(':react-native-mapbox-gl')){
    exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
  }
  compile (project(':react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation')){
    exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
  }
  compile(project(":react-native-google-signin")){
    exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
  }
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.8.0'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.8.0'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.8.0'
}

from react-native-background-geolocation.

I also had to add multiDex. Maybe this is the issue? I added the compile dep,

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

the config to defaultConfig,

multiDexEnabled true

and now extend fromMultiDexApplication in my MainApplication. Not sure if this is right/or contributing to my issue. Thanks!
