App crashes after making a signed APK?

I have an app that runs absolutely fine when I build it using the debug keystore. For the first time, I made a signed APK for release on Google PlayStore. I transferred the signed apk to my phone via the USB cable, installed the app and now when I try to run it, it crashes. It crashes right when I try to open it.

I have crash reporting enabled via Crashlytics and that doesn't report any new crashes either.

When I build it from Eclipse and run it, it all runs fine.

Where do I look for the problem?

Logcat when the app crashes:

07-16 01:23:28.200: E/ActivityThread(28536): Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.wakizashi.provider.MessagesForegroundProvider
07-16 01:23:28.200: E/ActivityThread(28536): Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.katana.provider.MessagesForegroundProvider

I assume you made your signed apk with eclipse? You've probably used proguard unintentionally. Try to make it again but pay attention to checkboxes.

The real issue was that ProGuard could not find certain annotations for Parse library. I had to add the following line to get it to work: 

-keepattributes *Annotation*
