Describe the bug

Multiple thrown exceptions:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Real exception was thrown executing ExecutionNode{signature=Lcom/yelp/android/appdata/webrequests/ApiRequest;-><init>(Lcom/yelp/android/appdata/webrequests/ApiRequest$RequestType;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apache/http/client/HttpClient;Landroid/content/Context;Lcom/yelp/android/appdata/webrequests/p;)V, op=new-instance r2, Lcom/yelp/android/services/u;, @=35} and was not handled. This could be a bug in smalivm.

Thanks for the bug report. I'm going to prioritize bugs dealing with malware obfuscation before this, but it does look legitimate.
