Firebase Crashlytics - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Crashlytics build ID is missing

Question

As per new version of Firebase Crashlytics added in Our App and application stopped at launch time.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Crashlytics build ID is missing. This occurs when Crashlytics tooling is absent from your app's build configuration. Please review Crashlytics onboarding instructions and ensure you have a valid Crashlytics account.

App-Level Gradle apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:17.1.1'

Project-Levle Gradle classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.2.0'

Follow steps by step from Firebase guides Firebase Guides

But earlier Fabric version is too much better than current one.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

In the build.gradle at the application level, add the following imports
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

Then, in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file, upgrade your gradle version to 5.6.4
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

I used to run my app with gradle 5.1.1 and upgrading to the version 5.6.4 fixed my problems

I hope it'll help you !

Answer 2

That normally happens when the plugin apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics' is missing in build.gradle app level.
