android studio gradlew编译时proguardRelease报错

项目开发过程中，编译遇到这样的错误。
不进行混淆，用android studio直接编译不报错。
但是混淆后，就报错。而且报错代码与项目代码无关。
错误如下：

:app:compileReleaseNdk UP-TO-DATE
:app:proguardRelease
Warning: u.aly.bt: can't find referenced method 'int checkSelfPermission(java.lang.String)' in library class android.content.Context
Warning: there were 1 unresolved references to library class members.
         You probably need to update the library versions.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 28.777 secs

stackoverflow上搜了很多，大部分都是说，android.support的library版本不对，或者build sdk版本不对，一直也没解决得了。

checkSelfPermission(java.lang.String)’ in library class android.content.Context
Warning: there were 1 unresolved references to library class members.
You probably need to update the library versions.

后来从上面这段话入手，在proguard.txt中，添加了如下两句。

-keep class android.content.* {;}
-dontwarn android.content.**

即不再混淆android.content包下面的内容。问题是解决了，但是总是一个治标不治本的方法。

具体原因还是要进一步调查。
