Build issue with customized okreplay

[mallocanswer]

My app doesn't use okhttp in the network layer so I have to copy the okreplay implementation into my project and make some modifications. Now the app fails to compile because yaml has dependency on java.beans.IntrospectionException but Android didn't package that class into release (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5488236/is-there-a-work-around-for-the-android-error-unable-to-resolve-virtual-method-j)
Compile error:

demo_android_espresso_idlingresource_okreplay/app/src/main/java/com/elyeproj/okreplay/TapeRepresenter.java:78: error: cannot access IntrospectionException
        Set<Property> properties = super.createPropertySet(type, bAccess);
                                                          ^
  class file for java.beans.IntrospectionException not found
1 error

Sample app:
demo_android_espresso_idlingresource_okreplay.zip
Command to run:
./gradlew installDebug

I didn't get the compile error if I directly import okreplay. Wondering if anything I can do to avoid this error.
Note: I have to copy the okreplay project over since my app has different network stack and I need to tailor few classes
