Android Instrumentation test java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError on using AndroidJunitRunner and AndroidJUnit4

I am using robolectric in our unit tests. Recently in our project, we are adding a new dependency from zendesk.

repositories {

maven {
    url 'http://ift.tt/172TP5q'
}

}

compile group: 'com.zendesk', name: 'sdk', version: '1.3.0.1'

Now we have not even referenced any class from this library and we are getting exceptions in our robolectric unit tests just by adding this dependency. I thought the problem is in our project, but its also occurring on a sample robolectric test project.
