[5.1.0-beta] android: DexIndexOverflowException due to com.auth0.jwt

[slicejunk]

Steps to Reproduce

1. compile the android app
2. count the methods with https://github.com/KeepSafe/dexcount-gradle-plugin for instance

Expected Behavior

the library should not consume ~ 25.000 methods !!
we should not add multidex support just for one dependency

Actual Behavior

DexIndexOverflowException

Hi @slicejunk, thanks for pointing to this. I'm going to investigate if we could use another jwt lib to avoid this issue, we'll let you know if any updates.

@sergey-akhalkov you can also use this package to count the number of methods used
https://github.com/mihaip/dex-method-counts
proguard can shrink this number to only ~3.000 but it is a pain to use it on dev
I guess some people will get this DexIndexOverflowException just after upgrading to 5.1.0-beta

Got the same issue this morning after upgrading from 5.0.0-beta to 5.1.0-beta. :(

Hi @slicejunk, @mortezaalizadeh, I've fixed the issue in #1007, please verify. We are also going to test and merge it asap.
