SharePoint 2013 Workflow created on SharePoint Designer gets canceled

Question

Just wanted to share my solution to a problem that I was having when creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow that includes creating a task and assigning it to a group of people. After publishing the workflow and initiating it you get:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute.
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException: Cannot find resource for the request sp.utilities.utility.ExpandGroupsToPrincipals
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.
   Exception details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 404 {"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException",
   "message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Cannot find resource for the request sp.utilities.utility.ExpandGroupsToPrincipals."},
   "innererror":{"message":"Cannot find resource for the request sp.utilities.utility.ExpandGroupsToPrincipals.",

    System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at
    System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
I was not able to find any answer anywhere, so my solution was:
1. Simply upgrade SharePoint Server 2013 to the latest version which in turn updates Microsoft.Activities.Proxy.dll
2. Clear the SharePoint Designer cache
  Workflow Error - Sharepoint Designer cannot display the item
