i figured out hunch! had add multi-dex support after upgrading new fabric framework, , had feeling maybe didn't correctly. after adding these additional changes, no longer crashes:

in build.gradle, added incremental settings:

dexoptions {         incremental true         javamaxheapsize "4g"     } 

and additional dependency:

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:' 

and on application class i'm extending multidexapplication:

public class townsquareevents extends android.support.multidex.multidexapplication
