setCustomKey doesn't work in firebase crashlytics

Question

Following the docs, I've added:

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCustomKey("my_string_key", "foo" /* string value */)

I'm using the latest version of crashlytics:

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:30.3.1')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'

I've forced a crash like this:

throw RuntimeException("Test Crash6")

The crash is showing up in the dashboard, but not the custom key:

Answer 1

My soultion is call recordException() before setCustomKey(). And remove your App from Recent App then open the App again.

You can retrieve the key and value in your Firebase console. This may not be the standard way to use Firebase APIs, but it works."

Ex.

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().recordException(RuntimeException(""))
FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCustomKey(somekey, someValue)
