🔥 Crashlytics is not showing crash for android

[abdullahbayram]

Hi all!
I am having an issue with Crashlytics on Android.

Issue

I've setup library with cloud messaging, notification and crashlytics on RN 60.5. Notifications works fine on Ios and Android. I can see ios crashes on console but can't see android crashes. In addition, firebase.crashlytics().crash() func works fine on both platform.

Have you converted to AndroidX?

• my application is an AndroidX application?
• I am using android/gradle.settings jetifier=true for Android compatibility?
• I am using the NPM package jetifier for react-native compatibility?

Interesting - quick thoughts:

• your dependencies are out of date, check the firebase android sdk release notes page https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android and get current, retest - highly recommended to use the new bill-of-materials / "bom" style to manage the versions as a unit, my work project looks like this:

    implementation platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:22.0.0")
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-perf"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-config"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-functions"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-storage"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-dynamic-links"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging"
    implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics'

... and you should also upgrade the the google plugin and fabric plugin etc

• make absolutely certain you have configured things correctly in firebase console, if you aren't perfect with the config, you'll miss reports. Maybe the SHA-1 or the crashlytics de-obfuscation step isn't happening? Maybe your build steps aren't correct?
• you may need firebase-analytics, unsure?

[abdullahbayram]

I will also need analytics but i haven't setup it properly yet because of android crashlytics problem. Today I saw five crash occurred between 03.00 pm and 06.00 pm yesterday. However, these crashes was not seen yesterday at same the time. I had just updated my dependencies according to https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android before the crashes seen on firebase console. Thanks a lot

[mikehardy]

Wow, so it seems it was just really slow - that is true sometimes. Hard to debug these indeterminate timing issues. Glad it worked though

[LucasGarcez]

Crashylitcs has two types of events. Crash and Non-fatal.
In my case the only ones reported were Non-fatal.
In order to report Crash events it is necessary to reopen the application so that firebase can send the report.

But on android the app doesn't report Crash type events with debug APK (this APK that is used by react-native run-android command, even if you're not in React Native debug mode) so on Android you need generate an apk release via the ./gradlew assembleRelease command in the "android" folder.

This command will generate a release apk in the android\app\build\outputs \apk\release folder install the .apk file on the device and crash, then reopen without crashing. Wait about 5 minutes for the crash report to appear on the Firebase console.

[JeandeCampredon]

Thanks @LucasGarcez, might be worth to add it to the documentation

[tareqdayya]

Please add it to the docs. I spent a good few hours trying to figure out why it wasn't reporting crashes.

[mikehardy]

There is an edit link at the top of every documentation page - github makes the PR process for documentation updates really fast + painless - it handles all the fork/clone/create PR stuff so it's just a couple of forms (one of which is you making the change) and that's it
