Crashlytics ndk changes the classloader path

Question

I'm trying to configure crashlytics ndk according to the instructions here: https://fabric.io/downloads/gradle/ndk

After adding the ndk part to build.gradle, specifically these lines:

// NDK Kit
compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics-ndk:1.1.2@aar') {
    transitive = true
}

my app crashes with the following stack trace:

it seems that crashlytics changes the classloader path.

any ideas?

Answer 1

My issue was resolved by removing the other architectures.

Reference: https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/ndk.html#universal-aar

Which refers to: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/apk-splits#TOC-ABIs-Splits

Adding this specific part to build.gradle resolved my issue:

splits {
        abi {
            enable true
            reset()
            include 'armeabi'
            universalApk true
        }
    }
