Can't release the project using crashlytics after upgrading to java 8

Question

After I move to java 8, I get this error in app release, because of fabric crashlytics:

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:crashlyticsStoreDeobsRelease'.
> Task with path 'dexRelease' not found in project ':app'.

I'm using Android Studio 2.2, Gradle version 2.14.1, Android plugin version 2.2.0

The project run without any problem, but I can't generate signed apk!

I read this post Can't run project - Android Studio 2.0 Crashlytics issues and Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:crashlyticsStoreDeobsDebug' if I enable the proguard but answer didn't helped me.

This is my gradle file:

buildscript {

    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
 }

 dependencies {
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1+'
 }

add multidex enable true to your gradle and clean the project – Autointoxication

There seems to be some incompatibility between the gradle and fabri plugin. Avoid using '+' in the classpath for fabric. Use something like classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.20.1 – Fernand

@ShrenikShah I enable multidex >>> multiDexEnabled true but it didn't help – Sunwise

@NarayanAcharya I changed classpath to the latest version >>> classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.21.5' but it didn't help – Sunwise

@HamedGh did you manage to solve this issue? – Joy

I check the fabric tools version from this link

https://s3.amazonaws.com/fabric-artifacts/public/io/fabric/tools/gradle/maven-metadata.xml

Then I used a lower version classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.4'
