How to get io.fabric.ApiKey?

I am getting below error but I am not able to figure out how can I get the api key for io.fabric.ApiKey.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Fabric could not be initialized, API key missing from AndroidManifest.xml. Add the following tag to your Application element 
        <meta-data android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey" android:value="YOUR_API_KEY"/>

Solution

  • Firebaser here -- the Fabric dashboard has been deprecated, which means you can no longer access the API key. You can upgrade from the Fabric SDK to the Firebase Crashlytics SDK, which doesn't require the Fabric API key to identify your app but rather the google-services.json file.
