I have a module within my app that depends on org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite:2.15.0 library. This library in turn depends on com.google.inject:guice:5.1.0 which is the source of the build error.
Below is an excerpt from the Build Output

Even when I go back to an old commit which I know, for sure works. This build error shows up.
The easiest solution, which is mentioned in the build output, is to increase the minSdk to 26. This is not a desirable solution for me as some of my users are below api level 26.I'd like to avoid going this route as much as possible.
Also, when I set minifyEnable to true, the build is successful but doing that breaks some other parts of the app. I've been searching for a way to set minifyEnable to true for just that module but so far, haven't been successful.
