crashlytics developer tools error when building android -gradle project

Question

I'm trying to build an android gradle project using eclipse, but i get this error when building the project using the command line:

 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 * What went wrong:
 Execution failed for task ':app:crashlyticsCleanupResourcesRelease'.
 > Crashlytics Developer Tools error.

 * Try:
 Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug
 option to get more log output.

 BUILD FAILED

Had a similar error trying to use Fabric's Twitter Kit

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:fabricCleanupResourcesDevDebug'.
> Crashlytics Developer Tools error.

Detailed error

ERROR - Crashlytics Developer Tools error. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Crashlytics found an invalid API key: XXXXXXXXX. Check the Crashlytics plugin to make sure that the application has been added successfully! Contact [email protected] for assistance.

After login in Fabric, download the AndroidStudio plugin and let it configure everything all worked fine.

(Btw, I really don't like this setup flow)

EDIT: It also can be done without install the AndroidStudio plugin. Follow these instructions from the Fabric site https://fabric.io/downloads/gradle
