Remove fabric and firebase from android studio project completely

Question

I am getting struggled with errors and warnings whenever I try to remove fabric and firebase from my android studio project. I almost deleted every implementation of those from project but I still see some crashlytics in my gradle. How can I clean up these fully. I don't want any firebase/fabric in my project.

My app level Gradle:

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

dependencies {
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

repositories {
maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

Mike from Fabric here. Sorry to hear you're removing Fabric and if you have feedback, please email support(at)fabric(dot)io.

From your app's build.gradle, remove:

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

dependencies {
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

repositories {
maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

From your project's build.gradle, remove:

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

dependencies {
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

repositories {
maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

If you see a Fabric API key in your AndroidManifest.xml, remove that value:

   <meta-data
            android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey"
            android:value="YourKey"
            />

If you have a crashlytics.properties or fabric.properties file, remove that file.

If you see a Fabric init statement in your app, remove it. An example:

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

If you have a google-services.json file that you've used with Firebase, remove that. The beginning of the file would look like this:

 "project_info": {
    "project_number": "number",
    "firebase_url": "firebase_url",
    "project_id": "your-project-id",
  }

Ultimately, the best choice is to look at your commit history when the dependencies were added and remove those. I can't give a perfect answer since Firebase and Fabric are both modular.
