Invalid API Key from Crashlytics

Question

Updated to Android Studio 1.4 Preview and the new SDK and now I get a:

ERROR - Crashlytics Developer Tools error.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Crashlytics found an invalid API key: null.

I already uninstalled Fabric, Installed it again, and updated Crashlytics from it

Any ideeas what I should do?

This is my build.gradle: http://pastebin.com/VPHpRJte

This is my androidManifest: http://pastebin.com/Nmdeasx8

My API KEY in Manifest:

android:name="com.crashlytics.ApiKey" 
android:value="c13e89xxxxxxxxxxxxx1054b4a

In https://fabric.io/settings/organizations/ :

c13e89xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbf1054b4a

I don't use Crashlytics.. But I know every Crash reporting API always requires a key provided by the host and you must declare it in your app as instructed by the host.. In your case, I believe you did not set a key — Sheychan, Aug 14 '15 at 08:49
have u checked your API Secret used to validate your application? it will be inside Crashlytics.properties file. — EEJ, Aug 14 '15 at 09:07

Added the apiKEY inside the crashlytics.properties file like this:

#Contains API Secret used to validate your application. Commit to internal source control; avoid making secret public.

apiKey=c13e89c059cxxxxxxxxx32f2d48xxxxxxxa
apiSecret=32192cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxecf917b5xxxxxx1

I was facing the exact same exception, but I had the key/secret set in the right places.

What happened was I upgraded Android Studio from 1.5 to 2.2, and I started getting this error.

The only way I could get rid of the error was to delete the whole project and git clone it again. After doing this, the project compiled fine.
