react-native-firebase crashlytics not showing up on firebase dashboard

Question

I am using firebase crashlytics. I am causing a crash by doing

firebase.crashlytics().crash()

and I am not seeing the crash report on the fireb

Answer 1

In iOS you need to unlink the app from Xcode so that it doesn't freeze when a crash occurs.

1. Build the App.
2. Stop the project in Xcode without terminating the simulator or device.
3. Then you can crash without Xcode freezing.
4. Reopen the app so that Firebase can send the crash report.

For more details on this, see here in the Firebase documentation.
