Current Behavior

When trying to retrieve data from device localStorage in apps that are released through Google Play (on any track), an error pops up: Preferences plugin is not implemented. This issue does not appear during development, can be fixed when minifyEnabled is set to false in de build.gradle file and does not appear for other plugins. As such, it seems like ProGuard possibly removes references to the Preferences plugin.

Expected Behavior

Preferences plugin can be used while minifyEnabled can be set to true to reduce filesize.

Code Reproduction

Since the issue only appears on apps published through the Play Store, I am unable to reproduce this issue!
