Crashlytics with Ionic 3 app

Question

I have implemented Firebase plugin with ionic 3 app. It is working fine. Could you tell me how can I use Crashlytics with this plugin? According to the doc it seems for the native apps. So how can we do it with Ionic 3?

There is a plugin cordova-fabric-plugin which we can use with ionic apps. But it seems we don't need it anymore since this note on the native apps doc: Any guidance please?

Note: If you're upgrading from Fabric Crashlytics, remove the Fabric API key from your AndroidManifest.xml. Delete the key's meta-data tag, which should have io.fabric.ApiKey and the API key.

In theory you should setup the FabricPlugin just as described. (the versions required of the firebase are lower than the once included)

To setup on ionic I recommend to read the following issue: https://github.com/sarriaroman/FabricPlugin/issues/70

Short Version: Create then a custom error handler

{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: FabricErrorHandler},

and then your custom Error Handler

import {Injectable} from "@angular/core";
import {IonicErrorHandler } from 'ionic-angular';
import * as stacktrace from 'stacktrace-js';

@Injectable()
export class FabricErrorHandler extends IonicErrorHandler {
    constructor (public analytics: Analytics) {
        super();
    }

    handleError(error) {
        window.fabric.Crashlytics.addLog('crash triggered');
        stacktrace.get().then(
            trace => window.fabric.Crashlytics.endNonFatalCrash(error.message, trace)
        );

        super.handleError(error);
    }
}
