Crashlytics distribution failed body too long

Question

I am having problem while uploading build to Crashlytics using Jenkins.

Here is my ant build command looks so far.

ant -file build.xml -DbetaDistributionGroupAliases=android-beta-testers -DbetaDistributionReleaseNotesFilePath=/opt/jenkins/workspace/staging-mobile-android/change_log.txt -Dkey.store=/var/lib/jenkins/Test.keystore -Dkey.store.password=testpassword -Dkey.alias=testkeystore 

I am contentiously receiving following error message.

crashlytics-upload-distribution:
     [echo] Uploading /opt/jenkins/workspace/staging-mobile-android/Test/bin/Test-release.apk to Crashlytics...

Alex from Fabric here. Christopher's right that you're hitting the 16384 character limit on Beta release notes. Once you decrease your release notes length below 16384, you'll be all set.
