R8 NullPointerException with OkHttp 3.13.1

When I upgrade to OkHttp 3.13.1, my release builds with R8 fails to build.

Versions that I have: OkHttp: 3.13.1 Android Gradle Plugin: 3.3.1 Gradle: 5.1.1

Note: Tried with r8 dependency latest version: 1.3.52 and with whatever AGP 3.3.1 ships with.

Here is my gradle.properties

android.enableR8=true
android.enableR8.fullMode=true

And here is the stacktrace of the build.

> Task :app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithR8ForExtranetRelease
R8 is an experimental feature. If you experience any issues, please file a bug at
https://issuetracker.google.com, using 'Shrinker (R8)' as component name. You can
disable R8 by updating gradle.properties with 'android.enableR8=false'.

And this broken again with r8 1.5.20-dev in new android studio 3.5.alpha

[sgjesse]

The issue has now been fixed in R8, and there was actually two issues:

1. The NullPointerException from R8 (which was fixed in 1.4.27)
2. The runtime crach mentioned in https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/4604#issuecomment-463474862 (which was a VerificationError)

They are both fixed in 1.4.57, and that version can be used as described in https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/4604#issuecomment-463474862.
