In your build.gradle file, you have the default proguard processing step enabled for your release build. The build process is attempting to run proguard (that's the minifyEnabled line) and searching for the files specified on the line below (which, according to your error message, don't exist).

If you don't want to run proguard (and at this stage, I presume you don't) you should delete the contents of the release build type:

buildTypes {
    release {
    }
}
