react-native android app crashes with in release apk

I have written one hybrid app which is using react-native-svg to render svg images in react-native views. Everything works perfectly. Today, When I created release apk for my app and deployed it to an emulator it crashed with an error:

I see this problem only when I comment -dontobfuscate from the proguard-rule.pro file. I want to obfuscate my apk code(I can't control it.). I am using proguard file similar to the one shown in this example, https://github.com/magicismight/react-native-svg-example/blob/cfb788461efae0de367c97aadcc829cdeb959a8d/android/app/proguard-rules.pro

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestion on , how can I stop my app from crashing without enabling -dontobfuscate in proguard-rules file?

Edit I am pretty new to android development and I am trying proguard for the first time. Any positive suggestions on how to debug such issues will be really helpful.
