How to enable email alerts for Firebase crash reports


In the Firebase crash reporting guide, there is a list of key capabilities where it lists one capability as:

Enable email alerts to receive frequent updates when new crashes are uncovered or regressions are detected.

I would like to activate that feature, but I can't seem to find the way of doing so. I found two things related in the console:

  1. If I navigate to Settings -> Service Accounts -> Crash Reporting, I can see some links to the docs.
  2. If i click on the three dot next to my picture in the upper right corner of the console, there are the users settings, in which I can select Alert subscriptions. I select my app and I can see all email check-boxes checked

I still don't receive anything when a new bug or regression is created.


Solution

  • Well, I just received an email for a test I did yesterday. Basically, the reports appear in the console in a matter of minutes, but it took almost 20 hours to get the email. I guess the emails are sent on a daily basis containing the reports of the day before. Note that I did not change anything in the settings in that project, meaning the emails were enabled by default.
