Version

    dependencies = [

            litho_widget                        : "com.facebook.litho:litho-widget:${versions.litho}",

✅ Proguard is OFF

...
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            shrinkResources false

Issues and Steps to Reproduce

• Set minSdkVersion to 21.
• In your code, mount a litho view.
• Build and run in debug mode: OK ✅
• Build and run in release mode: OK ✅
• Upgrade minSdkVersion from 21 to 23.
• Build and run in release mode: KO ❌.

Crash:

error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.facebook.jni.HybridData$Destructor
...
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.facebook.yoga.YogaNative
    at com.facebook.yoga.YogaNative.jni_YGConfigFree(Native Method)
    at com.facebook.yoga.YogaConfig.finalize(Unknown Source:2)
...

Expected Behavior

No crash.

Workaround

This issue seems related to #625 Adding implementation 'com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:0.0.2' fixes this issue. However, I don't understand why changing minSdkVersion from 21 to 23 breaks things.
