I am experiencing an issue with Fabric and Crashlytics that I can't seem to figure out and I was hoping someone could help me. My Android app doesn't seem to send logs and properties on a fatal crash when it's deployed in Google Play.
This is strange so I decided to because I have tried creating a release build using Android Studio directly onto my phone and purposefully throw a fatal exception. If I do that, I get logs and properties displaying in the Fabric console when looking at the crash.
I assumed it was related to either the Crashlytics versions or perhaps the target SDK version of the app itself. The fact that it works when I directly place the release app on my phone is confusing me. Is there something I am missing? Seeing the logs and properties are extremely helpful to debug crashes so not having this behaviour in production is worrisome.
app/build.gradle:
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 27
...
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1'
implementation('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.1@aar') {
transitive = true
}
project/build.gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
Application class onCreate():
Crashlytics crashlyticsKit = new Crashlytics.Builder().core(new CrashlyticsCore.Builder()
.disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG).build())
.build();
Fabric.with(this, crashlyticsKit);
