Question

I'm following official instructions of fabric

This is my gradle.build file

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.51'
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
}
dependencies {
...
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.24.3'

    }
}

repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
    }
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }

}

android {

compileSdkVersion 22

buildToolsVersion '25.0.3'
defaultConfig {
    ....
}

}
dependencies {
......
   compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.7.0@aar') {
    transitive = true
  }
}

In your buildscript block you have to add also the fabric repo.

  buildscript {
      repositories {
         //... jcenter(), google()...
         maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
      }
   }

  dependencies {
     //......
  }
}
