How to initialise Crashlytics?

Question

I have integrated the Crashlytics library using these steps(as I have done before without any issue)

Download plugin from https://fabric.io/onboard/pending
Install the plugin on Android Studio
Follow instructions, ie allow the plugin to make changes to build.config, manifest and main activity.
Build project and run app.

But I can not get it to initialise properly. Either I get the error Failed to create app with Crashlytics service.

Or if I extend Application and initialise it in onCreate() using Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics()) I get Initializing Crashlytics 2.2.2.37 but nothing happens. The plugin and web portal both don't show any progress.

I have tried reinstalling Crashlytics, reinstalling the plugin and cleaning the Project.

My project consists of multiple gradle libraries and a(apart from main) module library; in case that is relevant.

Once you have setup your crashlytics with Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics()) you can force a crash to test the things with: Crashlytics.getInstance().crash();

Once you have crashed you will start to see the data on the web dashboard.

You can also log custom data by using Crashlytics.getInstance().core.log()

It sometimes takes a few minutes to a couple of hours for the crash reports to appear on the system. Be patient. – Jose Llausas Jun 29 '15 at 17:42

Thank you. It was fixed though, my adblocker was the culprit. – hypd09 Jun 30 '15 at 15:53

Fixed, Crashlytics wasn't getting internet access because of an adblocker.
