[🐛][Android] Could not find method firebaseCrashlytics()

[aprilmintacpineda]

Issue

Describe your issue here

I was setting up react-native-firebase on a bare react-native app and I followed the optional step here https://rnfirebase.io/crashlytics/android-setup#4-optional-enable-crashlytics-ndk-reporting but I got this error when I do react-native android

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

You're missing all the requested information from the templates. Can you try building a reproducible example starting from https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh and posting it?

[FadiAboMsalam]

I am also facing this issue any fix for this @mikehardy @aprilmintacpineda

[mikehardy]

@FadiAboMsalam no, because the original reporter provided insufficient information.

[seyedasfar]

skipping 4th step solves the issue.

[mikehardy]

@usama-asfar does not "solve" the issue, "works around incorrect (but optional) NDK crash reporting" is more correct - if you need NDK crash reporting, you need that step, then you may still have this issue if you don't get the config just right.

Precision in troubleshooting is vital, especially if chiming in on other people's issues

[aprilmintacpineda]

That step is optional, this library still works even without that step, you only do it when you want to catch NDK related crashes. I will try to provide a repo for repro, sorry for being unable to do that, my time is all consumed by work-related tasks :(

[mikehardy]

@aprilmintacpineda I think there is actually another issue in the list that is a little farther along where someone really wants to get the NDK reporting working and is trying to do a build of react-native locally in order to play with the settings for stripped / unstripped directories. That would really advance the state of the art here. That you will get this error just by configuring NDK crash reporting but not providing the directories is a known thing and is correct behavior, simply reproducing it won't move it forward

@mikehardy i am also facing this issuse, used unity 2017.4.31f1, build with il2cpp and mainTemplate, firebase sdk for unity6.16.1;
cannot build success when using :

` implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-ndk:17.2.2'`

signingConfigs {
        release {
......
            // Add this extension
              firebaseCrashlytics {
                  nativeSymbolUploadEnabled true
              }
.....
        }
    }

Waiting for your reply, thanking you;;;

[mikehardy]

There is no way I will be able to help without a minimal reproduction posted on a github URL My best advice is to stop using the native symbol upload feature though

[dmitryzaytsev]

Same here. Just went through the tutorial and when trying to add NDK it will fail:

    buildTypes {
        release {
           // .... does not work
            firebaseCrashlytics {
                nativeSymbolUploadEnabled true
            }
        }
    }

Versions:

        classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3')
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.2.0'

    "@react-native-firebase/app": "^10.5.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "^10.5.1",

@aprilmintacpineda @dmitryzaytsev @FadiAboMsalam @zhangjianshuai Not sure if it'll help, but I also ran into this error when I tried enabling NDK reporting. My apply lines were at the bottom of my android/app/build.gradle file. I moved them to the top of the file and the error went away.

Update gradle wrapper to version 5.6.4 (from 5.4.1) - solved my problem with this error.

file: gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

My Android Build Gradle tools is 3.5.4 com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4

this does work.

[fontesrp]

@bpander 's answer worked for me as well. Thanks!

[mikehardy]

This had me worried so I just double-checked:

https://rnfirebase.io/crashlytics/android-setup#3-apply-the-firebase-crashlytics-plugin-to-your-app

Apply the com.google.firebase.crashlytics plugin by adding the following to the top of your android/app/build.gradle file:

This is as documented, so if having it at the top works (and it sounds like it does, the success reports are nice), excellent :-)
