Crashlytics Android Studio plugin fails to initialize

Question

I'm running Android Studio 0.5.1. I've downloaded the Crashlytics Android Studio plugin and installed it from the disc. When I restart Android Studio, I get the following exception

Plugin 'com.crashlytics.tools.androidstudio' failed to initialize and will be disabled.  Please restart Android Studio.

Hemal from Crashlytics here! Can you go ahead and try to install the plugin.zip file instead of the jar and let me know if that works?

That seems to have done it. I was downloading with Safari at first, and the file was getting automatically unzipped. Your note prompted me to try downloading with Chrome, which preserved the zip. Thanks! – joates Mar 17 '14 at 22:28
Hey Hemal Shah, I'm facing same issues, but didn't work using the zip file. IntelliJ13 + Crashlytics, same stacktrace as joates. – vsm Mar 22 '14 at 00:48
Thanks, faced the same issue but the plugin installation of the ZIP file instead of JAR fixed the issue. – Matti Vilola May 08 '14 at 14:20

Hemal. You are amazing. – quemeful Nov 13 '14 at 14:06
Where can I find the zip file? – Jesus Almaral - Hackaprende Dec 05 '15 at 02:26

Use Fabric Tool.You don't need to write any code.Check out the below steps to install Crashlytics in your application.

Get in to this Fabric link .Then sign up and login to your account.
In Android Studio, Click File -> settings->plugin-> In top search bar, search this Fabric for Android then click browse, you see the fabric android studio file.
Then download a Fabric Android Studio Plugin.Zip file.finally, restart Android Studio
Then you can see the Fabric icon in your eclipse tool.Check the below screenshot:
Login fabric -> Enter Organization -> click install the crashlytics tool.It will add the Codes automatically.You don't need to write a single line of code.It will add codes in manifest file and build.gradle.
After it successfully installed,Run your application.If your application getting crash,it will be notified in your fabric dashboard.
Output:

Below I am posted the crash report in dashboard:

I had this error "NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/SwingUtilities"

I had to download and use jdk1.7.0_65 instead of jdk1.8.0_05 and change the path in my environment variables.

Hope this helps someone!

For you guys using safari to download the plugin. Use some other browser that won automatically unzip the container.

Android studio requires you to install the zipped file, not the individual .jar:s

Edit: Another option is to go to Safari -> Preferences and untick the auto-open option. Thanks @m vai

No need for it, just go Safari -> Preferences and untick the auto-open option. – natario May 15 '15 at 14:56

Select "Plugins" on the right of the Settings Dialog. Click "Install plugin from disk…" and choose the downloaded zip file. Do not unzip file. Choose downloaded zip file.
