JourneyBuilder issues - beacon library excluded

Question

I'm excluding the beacon library while declaring gradle dependency since I do not need it, for simple implementation of push notifications. Although I'm getting following error during compilation.

Warning:com.salesforce.marketingcloud.MCProximityService: can't find superclass or interface org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconConsumer and many others in MCProximityService Warning:com.salesforce.marketingcloud.proximity.BeaconLogger: can't find referenced class org.altbeacon.beacon.logging.Logger. Warning:com.salesforce.marketingcloud.proximity.b: can't find referenced class org.altbeacon.beacon.service.BeaconService

Are MCProximityService class and other beacon library dependents placed in the correct module? Am I missing something?

I am getting this error while running Proguard. I may need to safeguard some classes, although from the package name they look like they are/should be part of beacon library.

Please add the following line to your proguard.cfg file if you're using v5.0.x of the SDK:

-dontwarn org.altbeacon.**                     // if you excluded the AltBeacon Library
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.location.**   // if you excluded the Google Play Services Location component

I will open a bug ticket to address this in our next release.
