Crashlytics error - This app relies on Crashlytics. Please sign up for access

Question

I have two build flavors in gradle but for some reason whenever i change the following flag to false i get the titled error message:

ext.enableCrashlytics = false

the error itself complete is below:

Process: com.mobile.myapp.staging, PID: 5439

And this is how I initialize crashlytics in my Application subclass:

Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());

what i am trying to do is have control over whether or not a crashlytics can run or not per flavor. lets say i want flavor1 not to run crashlytics i thought i could use that gradle flag and set it to false. am i missing something ?

Answer 1

Maybe missing apply plugin fabric

I added this line on top of file app/build.gradle resolved my issues!

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
