Android Crashlytics stuck at "Build and run your app"

Question

I followed the tutorial exactly (https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/get-started?authuser=1&platform=android#android) and still can't see my app on firebase Crashlytics. here's my configuration:

in root build.gradle

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
    classpath "androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$nav_version"
    classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.31.0'
  }

in app build.gradle

...
apply plugin: "io.fabric"

...
//Firebase
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:18.0.0'
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.0.1'
  implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.10.1'

in Application

Fabric.with(this, Crashlytics());

I'm building and running the app on debug but nothing is happening, in the logs I see

I/CrashlyticsInitProvider: CrashlyticsInitProvider skipping initialization

I/CrashlyticsCore: Initializing Crashlytics Core 2.7.0.33

what could I be missing?

Answer 1

For anyone who is facing a similar issue, I have looked for many hours and eventually checked the merged manifest and figured there is a 3rd party library that was actually setting up their own Crashlytics config which overrides mine. So maybe look into that.

I eventually added this to my manifest:

<meta-data
    tools:node="remove"
    android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey"/>
