Android Crashlytics plugin not installing library

Question

When using the Crashlytics plugin in intellij I follow these steps.

1. Click plugin on toolbar.
2. Select App
3. Allow crashlytics to update AndroidManifest.xml as well has my first Activity.
4. Click "Next"
5. Try to build the App as the plugin instructs.

Then when i try to build i get this:

package com.crashlytics.android does not exist

I look in my dependencies and library and the jar is nowhere to be found. What am I missing that would cause the library to not be loaded?

Answer 1

The following configuration should work for Gradle-based projects:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "http://download.crashlytics.com/maven" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+"
    }
}
apply plugin: "crashlytics"
repositories {
    maven { url "http://download.crashlytics.com/maven" }
}
dependencies {
    compile "com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.1.+"
}

Answer 2

I solved this by following the maven instructions here https://crashlytics.com/downloads/maven and then just grabbing the jar from my .m2 and putting it in my libs folder. (This particular project was started as a maven project, then Maven was discarded and it has not yet been migrated to Gradle, so we're kind of in no-man's land). Anyway, I now have the jar.

Answer 3

After the automated setup from android studio, I was missing this line:

compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.1.+'
