Fabric plugin crash --> No such property: betaDistributionApkFilePath for class: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl


I am not able to configure Crashlytics in my application. Just when I apply the fabric plugin (plugin: 'io.fabric') and build, I get this error.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: betaDistributionApkFilePath for class: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Solution

  • The issue got resolved by doing a lot of hit and trial on how Crashlytics needs to be declared in separate Gradle file.

    Changes made were : dependencies.gradle

    Before
    
    ext {
        def crashlyticsVersion = "2.10.1"
        crashlytics = "com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:${crashlyticsVersion}"
    }
    
    After
    
    ext {
        def crashlyticsVersion = "2.10.1"
        crashlyticsDependencies = [
                "crashlytics": "com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:${crashlyticsVersion}"
        ]
    }
    

    build.gradle (app level)

    Before
    
    dependencies {
        implementation crashlytics
    }
    
    After
    
    dependencies {
        implementation crashlyticsDependencies.values()
    }
    
    

    Still not sure why crashlytics forces only this type of declaration.
