How can I fix this CrashlyticsMissingDependencyException?

Question

I have been using the latest Crashlytics (Fabric integration) for a while. But recently I encountered the following crash error due to missing dependency although I didn\'t

Answer 1

In my case, I was using fabric in a "CommonLib" module that was added as a dependency in all other modules (including app). So, I had added apply plugin: 'io.fabric' after buildscript {} block. So, I placed two plugins together:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library' 
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

And problem got solved!

Answer 2

I had this commented out in gradle

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

needed to uncomment it

Or if you don't have it, add it!

Answer 3

In case this helps someone else, I had a similar issue when upgrading Crashlytics to Fabric. In my case, the plugin left 2 lines from Crashlytics that I needed to manually remove before it would work.

In the gradle file, under buildscript dependencies, I had to manually remove:

classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.16.0'

Also, under dependencies, I had to manually remove:

compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.1.13'

If you are using the disable function during debug as shown

 Crashlytics crashlyticsKit = new Crashlytics.Builder()
            .core(new CrashlyticsCore.Builder().disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG).build())
            .build();
    Fabric.with(this, crashlyticsKit);

What happens when you update the version of crashlytics is that

Fabric.with(this, crashlyticsKit); 

is turned to

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

So make sure to change that back to crashlyticskit. If you are doing this correctly and the error still appears then make sure you have

debug {

      ext.enableCrashlytics = false
 }

under android {buildtypes{}}

For me it was because of dataBinding = true. Upgrading the fabric gradle plugin to 1.21.0 fixed the issue: https://twittercommunity.com/t/fabric-gradle-plugin-1-21-0-add-support-for-android-databinding-true/57474
