Fabric crashlytics with Firebase unable to upload crash

Question

I'm just trying to migrate Fabric Crashlytics with Firebase, so I just followed the guide https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/get-started

Everything compiles and the app can be launched. So I want to simulate a crash with Crashlytics.getInstance().crash(); as I already used before.

The app crashes as expected, but the crash is not uploaded to firebase and I have this strange stack:

E/Fabric: Error performing auto configuration.

Anyone already had encountered this error?

Thanks. Are you still running into this? – Bespread

I have to create the fabric.properties file and put the api key to make it working – Arbela

@ToddBurner do we still need to add the api key even if we migrated to firebase? – Arbela

@ToddBurner up? – Arbela

Answer 1

This can happen when you strip the API key from Fabric when migrating from Fabric to Firebase Crashlytics, which is not currently supported. When migrating, keep your API key in your project.
