Where is the Crashlytics log file located for the new Firebase Crashlytics SDK

For the previous Crashlytics SDK (Fabric) the file location of the logging was:

On Linux / Windows: /.crashlytics/com.crashlytics.tools/crashlytics.log
On Mac: ~/Library/Caches/com.crashlytics/com.crashlytics.tools/crashlytics.log

Since I started using the new Firebase Crashlytics SDK nothing is getting logged there anymore. I tried to search for other locations the file could be, but I couldn't find anything at all.

Solution

  • Firebaser here -

    There is indeed no longer a crashlytics.log file. That information still exists if you invoke your symbol upload task with --debug. So if you have native symbol file upload enabled in Gradle, that may look like (all on Mac):

    ./gradlew app:uploadCrashlyticsSymbolFileDebug --debug

    or

    ./gradlew app:assembleDebug --console=plain --debug

    You may also see a lot of output irrelevant to Crashlytics. However your command looks, you may want to pipe a filter:

    ./gradlew ... | grep "[com.google.firebase.crashlytics]"

    Finally, it can be inconvenient to be looking at the terminal or the logcat in Android Studio, so you may want to just save that output to a file:

    ./gradlew ... > crashlyticslog.txt
