R8 Minification Results in ViewModel Crash onDestroy

[AlexanderGH]

When running our app with full R8 minification, I suspect some re-ordering or inlining results in an invalid call to a lifecycle state change if a GC is run somewhere in the middle.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: LifecycleOwner of this LifecycleRegistry is already garbage collected. It is too late to change lifecycle state.

Ignore the line numbers being all wonky due to R8.

My blind theory is that in onCleared of BaseMvRxViewModel, that the disposing and cleanup should possible go before the super() call?

   public void onCleared() {
      super.onCleared();
      this.disposables.dispose();
      this.lifecycleRegistry.setCurrentState(State.DESTROYED);
   }
