Crashlytics with Android Studio build error

Question

I'm trying to use CrashLytics with Android Studio and gradle but i get a confusing error java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

My build.gradle is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
        classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'
apply plugin: 'crashlytics'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
}

android {
    buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"
    compileSdkVersion 18

    //...
}


dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.2.25'

    compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.+'
    //compile 'com.newrelic.agent.android:android-agent:2.426.0'

}

When trying to $ gradle assembleDebug:

Relying on packaging to define the extension of the main artifact has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 9.297 secs

I'm not sure why the method is not found, maybe build tools 18 are not supported yet?

Answer 1

Hemal from Crashlytics here!

Can you edit the following line from:

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'

to

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'

Should clear it up for ya :)
