Getting java.lang.VerifyError after upgrading to Android Studio 2.0

Question

I upgraded Android Studio to 2.0.

Then when I run & debug the app, it works fine until I click a button and call a function, and java.lang.VerifyError is thrown. This is what I get from logcat:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
              Process: com.fronty.zt, PID: 18022
              java.lang.VerifyError: com/fronty/zt/SilverCord$AjcClosure11
                  at com.fronty.zt.SilverCord.checkEmailExistence(SilverCord.java:407)

                  at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:18422)

                  at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95)
                  at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:136)
                  at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5001)

                  at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

This is checkEmailExistence():

@DebugLog
public void checkEmailExistence(StringPacket pack, final Response.Listener<ResponseBase> listener, Response.ErrorListener errorListener)
{
    request("checkEmailExistence", ResponseBase.class, listener, errorListener, "/api/v0/check_email_existence", pack);
}

But when I set a breakpoint and follow, it actually goes deeper before it throws. checkEmailExistence() calls request() and the exception is thrown at the first line inside request()

    if ( doLog )
        Log.i( T, function );

I tried deleting build dir, rebuild, clean.. & etc with no effect.

However, changing gradle version fixes the problem:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

But this will disable Instant Run, so I would like to stick to 2.0.0. Does anyone know the cause or how to go about this?

Thanks!

Could you please be more specific? When you say "I'm getting java.lang.VerifyError on Log.i() ", are you referring to a runtime error or a compilation error? — EJK, Apr 11 '16 at 01:36
@EJK Sorry about that. It's a runtime error. I will add more description along with call stack. (rebuilding the app right now) — Vincent, Apr 11 '16 at 01:46
@EJK I added more description. I thought it was a basic problem but it seems not.. — Vincent, Apr 11 '16 at 02:04
Some upgrades to AS 2.0 apparently have problems with older projects. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36522313/large-number-of-errors-during-gradle-build-after-upgrading-to-android-studio-2-0/36523016 — Doug Stevenson, Apr 11 '16 at 03:36
