Studio Build: 4.0.0 and above
Version of Gradle Plugin: 4.0.0 and above
Version of Gradle: 6.1.1 and above
Version of Java: Java8
OS: macOS

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a build using a gradle plugin version from 4.0.0 and above
2. Using reflection to access annotation information on devices with api < 24 causes an exception at libcore.reflect.AnnotationAccess.toAnnotationInstance

On versions of gradlew below 4.0.0 this is working fine, so I believe this is an issue with a newer version of R8

This is our code were we use reflection and is triggering this issue

```kotlin
value::class.constructors.first { it.parameters.isNotEmpty() }
.parameters.forEach { parameter ->
require(parameter.type.classifier == JsonPatchProperty::class) {
"Patch property ${parameter.name} must be of type JsonPatchProperty"
}

val jsonAnnotation = parameter.annotations.firstOrNull { it is Json }
if (jsonAnnotation != null) {
val jsonKey = (jsonAnnotation as Json).name
val request = jsonObj.optJSONObject(jsonKey)
if (request != null) {
patchRequestList += request.put("path", "/$jsonKey")
}
}
}
```

and this is the stacktrace of the issue
