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.

Having the same issue. Will post solution here once I figure it out – Chemist

This bug is annoying. We have it and I have done everything to help fixing it but no luck – Camerlengo

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 !

Thanks, this helped to resolve the issue. I've checked at services.gradle.org/distributions that 5.6.4 is the most recent version 5. – Gibran

This is why google document sucks. There is no mention of this. Wasted 1 hr trying to add the id somehow by updating google-services.json and what not. – Wertheimer

Also remember to include the buildscript dependencies classpath in the root build.gradle as mentioned by Amir Raza – Wertheimer

I am trying to remove crashlytics since my team is migrating to Sentry. When i removed all references to Crashlytics i am getting this error E/FirebaseCrashlytics: 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. how do i resolve this? – Sarraceniaceous

Answer 2

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

Durbar

no it's not. please don't make it an exact answer – Trabeated

Answer 3

If anyone still have problem with this issue, try using crashlytics gradle verions 2.1.1 in project level gradle. I solved my problem by doing so.

buildscript {       
    ...
    dependencies {
        ... 
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.1.1'    
    }
}

Gusty

While indeed downgrading this from 2.4.1 to 2.1.1 (or even 2.2.1) resolved the issue, it's probably a better option to update the cradle version in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file, as instructed by xerib: https://mcmap.net/q/273313/-firebase-crashlytics-java-lang-illegalstateexception-the-crashlytics-build-id-is-missing – Gibran

Answer 4

please add

 classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:x.x.x'

to your project's build gradle. And don't forget to add following lines to your app's build gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
    id 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
}

Answer 5

It will also happen if you forgot to include classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1' in your project level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // Check that you have Google's Maven repository (if not, add it).
        google()
    }

    dependencies {
        // ...

        // Check that you have the Google services Gradle plugin v4.3.2 or later
        // (if not, add it).
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'

        // Add the Crashlytics Gradle plugin
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // Check that you have Google's Maven repository (if not, add it).
        google()
    }
}

Answer 6

The only thing that solved my problem was to add the following line - <string name="com.crashlytics.android.build_id">1</string> to strings.xml, as suggested here.

Answer 7

Add the code below to project/android/app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

Answer 8

In my case this error is caused by shrinkResources = true (in app/build.gradle) in combination with android-gradle-plugin version 8.3.0-alphaXX.

In order to fix this I had to add a keep.xml file under res/raw/keep.xml with the following input:

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:keep="@string/com.google.firebase.crashlytics.*" />

The actual reason why this bug was introduced by R8 and firebase can be found here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/5562#issuecomment-1825591774

Answer 9

add this line

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid"

this will solve this problem

Thanh

Don't see such a plugin listed @ firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#available-libraries almost thought this wouldn't work. – Arliearliene

Answer 10

After several hours i finally figured it out. I used ./gradlew app:dependencies command to list the dependency tree just to notice, that some libraries (that were not up to date) used older version of crashlytics library. I updated them and the issue was finally gone!

Disaccredit

Answer 11

I also struggle with this crash (just in my release builds) and as a temporary fix it helps me to turn off shrinking resources. TBH don't know the reason why it was causing this crash yet 🙃

So you can try to set isShrinkResources = false in your app/build.gradle.kts file if you have it enabled

Answer 12

This solution from google documentation:

Gradle file (project-level)

buildscript {

    repositories {
      // Make sure that you have the following two repositories
      google()  // Google's Maven repository
      mavenCentral()  // Maven Central repository
    }

    dependencies {
      ...

      // add this line
      classpath ("com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle :2.9.9")
    }
}

allprojects {
  ...

  repositories {
    // Make sure that you have the following two repositories
    google()  // Google's Maven repository
    mavenCentral()  // Maven Central repository
  }
}

module (app-level) Gradle file

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")

    // Add the ID of the plugin
    id("com.google.firebase.crashlytics")
    ...
}

Answer 13

For those who added the classpath but still ran into the exception, make sure that there isn't a space between the colon and the version number, oddly it'll still crash.

Crash:

classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle: 2.9.9' // look at the space in between the colon and 2.9.9

No Crash:

classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.9' // no space in between the colon and 2.9.9

Testamentary

This worked for me . No Space in between the colon and version will solve the crash issue. – Menace

@KiranSrinivasRao, hi, if it worked please upvote this answer so others can see it works – Testamentary

Answer 14

Step 1) In your build.gradle.kts file (Project) to past this line
plugins {

id ("com.google.gms.google-services") version "4.3.15" apply false
id ("com.google.firebase.crashlytics") version "2.9.1" apply false

}

Step 2) In your build,gradle.kts(App) to past this line



 plugins {
   
         id("com.google.gms.google-services")
        id("com.google.firebase.crashlytics")
    }

dependencies {
   implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx:21.6.2")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-ktx:18.6.4")
    implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:20.5.2")
}
