If you go to their site you will see this message: We are integrating the best of Fabric into Firebase to give you one powerful platform. Check out our roadmap for more information on what to do and what to expect. And there is a Learn more button. – Touber

Just check this official post. https://get.fabric.io/roadmap

Fabric Beta will be moved into Firebase on Early 2019.

Start using the next generation of Crashlytics Beta Get valuable feedback on pre-release iOS and Android apps by using Firebase App Distribution, the new version of Crashlytics Beta, to distribute beta builds to your team.

Does anybody else find it worrying that they will stop allowing us to distribute apps through Fabric at the end of November 2018 while not allowing us to distribute using their replacement service until "Early 2019"? – Berseem

Edit: Ah they mean the "Fabric app" not the "Beta app". As you were.... – Berseem

will it remain free? – Marauding

Answer 2

Fabric was bought by Google and is being integrated into Firebase ("the best of Fabric" is being integrated).

Google will support Fabric until mid 2019. See Roadmap.

The warning message means Fabric mobile apps will not work anymore after November 30, 2018. However, you can still use the web app at fabric.io until mid 2019.

What mobile apps? Their or ours? – Deeann

@FlorescuCătălin They mean Fabric mobile app in App Store and Play Store. Not your own. After mid 2019, however, you need to continue using your dashboard via Firebase – Paduasoy

@OnurD. Thank you! – Deeann

From their FAQ:

What is the plan for Fabric’s mobile app?

Fabric’s iOS and Android apps will be available until November 30th, 2018. After this point, you’ll still be able to monitor your migrated apps on the go using the Firebase Console, which is designed to work well on mobile devices.

Answer 4

Deprecated by Google, fabric is being killed because it was better than Google's firebase.

I can't stand how Google insists you use specific services then deprecates them...
