If its happening only on the proguarded version, you might have forgotten to add the proguard rule. Add the below rule in your proguard file

-keepnames class androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment

try with this

dependencies {
    def nav_version = "2.1.0-alpha01"
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-fragment:$nav_version" // For Kotlin use navigation-fragment-ktx
    implementation "androidx.navigation:navigation-ui:$nav_version" // For Kotlin use navigation-ui-ktx
}

This happen when you are not set navigationGraph correctly. May be it is a bug or not. There are below reason this error occurred. Accidentally you add HomeActivity in your navigationGraph and also added MovieListFragment and connected MovieListFragment to HomeActivity. And then delete HomeActivity from graph. So the MovieListFragment id not changed may be its krrp the map. I found this issue in my project. Event i reopen the project but nothing luck. So i delete MovieListFragment from graph (only from graph). Then again add the MovieListFragment then it working again.

In my project HomeActivity was MainActivity and MovieListFragment was DashboardFragment.
