How do I add Crashlytics to AIDE?

Question

I use AIDE while on the go. On Android Studio I added Crashlytics to my project but upon moving it over to AIDE,it doesn't seem to recognize Crashlytics. Specifically, this line is specified as an unknown dependant according to compile error:

compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.2@aar') {
    transitive = true}

Is there anything I can do to fix this or is AIDE incapable of supporting Crashlytics?

Ensure you have the plugin preinstalled in Android Studio - https://fabric.io/downloads

Then in your build.gradle, add/update the following at the very top:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
  }

  dependencies {
    // Fabric
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:+'
  }
}

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

If AIDE does not work properly, then please download the AAR library, then copy it in your /libs folder (say the name of the file is fabric-2.5.2.aar Update build.gradle as follow:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
  }

  dependencies {
    // Fabric
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:+'
  }
}

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

// .aar repositories
repositories {
  flatDir { dirs 'libs' }
}

dependencies {
  compile(name: 'fabric-2.5.2', ext: 'aar')
  ...
}
