Can't run project - Android Studio 2.0 Crashlytics issues

Question

I updated Android Studio to 2.0 and trying to get instant run to work. Gradle sync works. Rebuilding the project works. Trying to run, fails :(.

What am I doing wrong?

Variables:

• io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.14.4

• com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1

• buildToolsVersion 23.0.2

Error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. 
What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':Application:crashlyticsStoreDeobsDebug'. 
Task with path 'dexDebug' not found in project ':Application'. 
Try:Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Stacktrace:

org.gradle.api.GradleException: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':Application:crashlyticsStoreDeobsDebug'.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and tried many thing without success. The only solution I found was to delete all references to fabric or crashlytics from any gradle file (substantially from the repositories and the compile sections) and then re-adding them through the fabric plugin.

I suppose that there were some duplicated and incompatible inclusions.

Fore example I had (some of the following lines where in the project gradle and others were in the module gradle)

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1'
    classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.16.0'
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.20.0'
}

Now I've only

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1'
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.20.0'
}

Answer 2

In my case I was missing the "apply fabric"

if (!devBuild) {
  apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
}

So try to avoid not applying the fabric plugin.
