Crashlytics was applied to a project without an Android plugin

[raul-handpoint]

I am working on a cordova app that uses cordova-fabric-plugin.

We are recently having this error when building the app with Gradle, and we are not able to identify the cause:

Failed to apply plugin [id 'io.fabric'] Error:(66, 0) Crashlytics was applied to a project without an Android plugin. Please make sure the Crashlytics plugin is applied after the appropriate Android plugin for your project.

Gradle build is generated from a package.json file which defines the dependencies of the project. Two of these dependencies are:

• cordova-android: 7.0.0
• cordova-fabric-plugin: ^1.1.10

This is the generated build.gradle file that causes the error:

build.gradle

Is this a bug in the plugin? Can someone help me here, please?

Thank you. Kind regards.

Looks like this is an incompatibility of the plugin with cordova-android platform 7.0.0.

After updating Android platform to version 6.4.0:

ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova platform add [email protected]

Generated Gradle script builds OK.

For me, you can leave this issue opened. It will need to work with newest version of cordova (cordova 8).

I am leaving this issue opened per @ElodieC request.

Looks like issue #119 is exactly the same.

Hi, Did you find a solution for this ? I'm on cordova 8 and cannot downgrade. Thanks

Fix for this issue:

in hooks/lib/utilities.js replace getBuildGradlePath function with:

function getBuildGradlePath() {
    var target = path.join("platforms", "android", "app", "build.gradle");
    if (fs.existsSync(target)) {
        return target;
    }

    return path.join("platforms", "android", "build.gradle");
};

This triggers a new error because in the src/android/build-extras.gradle the config.xml is referenced in the wrong location, fixing it by pointing to the correct folder makes it work but breaks backwards compatibility so if anyone knows a fix that maintains backwards compatibility please comment.

Simple (not-backwards compatible) fix: Replace def config = file("res/xml/config.xml").getText() with def config = file("src/main/res/xml/config.xml").getText()

@chancezeus I tried your solution which built fine, however I would get an error message Failed to send analytics. Did you manage to get it working all the way?

[chancezeus]

@814k31 I just checked and for me both sending a custom event and a crash report both succeed so I think this error is either not related to this specific plugin or it is configured incorrectly (wrong key/secret for example).

Interesting I've had it working fine with cordova-android 6.4 for ages so I may sit on it for a little before trying again

Thanks

have the same problem and the suggested edits from @chancezeus don't seem to work for me.

[chancezeus]

@viking2917 The edits have to be done in the plugins/... folder before adding the platform, otherwise the gradle change also has to be applied in the copy created by cordova inside the android platform folder

[viking2917]

aha. thank you @chancezeus . Let me give that a go.

[viking2917]

@chancezeus OK that did it.

ionic cordova platform rm android
cordova plugin add cordova-fabric-plugin --variable FABRIC_API_KEY=<yourkey> --variable FABRIC_API_SECRET=<yourkey>
(your edits done to the files under the plugin folder per the above)
ionic cordova platform add android

And that did the trick. Thank you so much!

I still seem to be getting this error, even with the steps above.

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.

Failed to apply plugin [id 'io.fabric'] Crashlytics was applied to a project without an Android plugin. Please make sure the Crashlytics plugin is applied after the appropriate Android plugin for your project.

I assume the changes to hooks/lib/utilities.js are in plugins/cordova-fabric-plugin/hooks/lib/utilities.js?

Is this error message referring to a Cordova plugin or a Fabric plugin or something else. Thanks!

[viking2917]

@mnowak-umich The error is in regard to the Cordova Fabric Plugin (the plugin whose github page we are on), I don't think I have any other plugins that are related to this issue.

I took the following steps. removed the android platform. per the above, edited the two files

plugins/cordova-fabric-plugin/hooks/lib/utilities.js plugins/cordova-fabric-plugin/src/android/build-extras.gradle

the added the android platform back, and then it worked for me. Hope that helps.

For those looking for a quick fix for now, I just created a quick fork with my fixes applied. I tested a quick build with android 7.0.0 and there seem to be no problems. The fix should remain backwards compatible and thus should be pullable as is without any issues. Pull request (#122) has been submitted but for now you can install my version using: [ionic] cordova plugin add https://github.com/chancezeus/FabricPlugin.git --variable FABRIC_API_KEY={YOUR API KEY} --variable FABRIC_API_SECRET={YOUR API SECRET}

Hope it helps those in need :relieved:

[mnowak-umich]

Thanks I will give it a try today!

I got this error:
