After crashed deployed again it worked. But when I deployed again it crashed. This happens as a cycle. First time deployed-> crashed second-time deployed-> work fine

I want to run the app every time without any run time crash. I cannot find any issues. I have removed maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' } and test the app but the same result. Nothing changed. I also clean the project and done invalidate the cache and restart but not working. I am looking for a solution. Please help

Answer 1

Remove ext.enableCrashlytics = false from your build.gradle.

If you don't want to upload mapping files for your debug builds, use this:

debug {
    minifyEnabled true
    firebaseCrashlytics {
        mappingFileUploadEnabled false
    }
}

To disable Crashlytics for your debug builds, add this to your application class:

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(!BuildConfig.DEBUG)
