Exception while processing task java.io.IOException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Stack size becomes negative after instruction [23] invokestatic #46 in [com/google/android/gms/internal/ads/zzap.zzf(Ljava/lang/String;)J]

After updating Google Play Services to 15.0.1(latest) from 12.0.1 my release builds stop working.
I come across the above Proguard error after updated the gms library gradle versions as follows:

1 //    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:12.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'

2  //    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:12.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:16.0.1'

3   //    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'

4  //    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:12.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:15.0.1'

Solution for above error while generating signed APK is to Add following to your proguard-rules.pro

-keep class com.google.android.gms.internal.** { *; }
