fix: release build issue with agp > 8.4.0

Starting with agp 8.4.0 setting isMinifyEnabled for libraries will minify the lib much sooner in the build process, as opposed to doing it at the end of the build process. This will cause the app module to use a minified version of the library which will throw missing classes error during compiling for release build. https://stackoverflow.com/a/79148742/25688500
