Android - Firebase Crashlytics - "Failed to retrieve settings"

Question

I have troubles making Firebase crash reporting send logs to firebase (Can't see any crashes in firebase console)

I found that previously I've created project in Fabric Crashlytics and removed it today

As far as I know I have configured my android project properly. So maybe I'm just missing something in firebase console. Code is successfully compiled and Fabric.isInitialized() == true

project -> build.gradle

   classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
   classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.1'

app -> build.gradle

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8'
implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.9'

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

No <meta-data> in manifest and no Fabric.with in Application. So clear configuration. Project itself is however pretty huge.

After invoking crash using Crashlytics.getInstance().crash() this is output in console using adb logcat -s Fabric CrashlyticsCore

I CrashlyticsCore: Initializing Crashlytics 2.6.8.32
E Fabric  : Failed to retrieve settings from https://settings.crashlytics.com/spi/v2/platforms/android/apps/*******/settings
W CrashlyticsCore: Received null settings, skipping report submission!

So main problem is probably I'm not receiving settings and have no idea what that means

When you build your project did you see in the build log that the file `google-services.json` is taken into account? — shadowsheep, Mar 21 '19 at 10:22
`Parsing json file: /home/***/google-services.json` and no error there — VizGhar, Mar 21 '19 at 10:24
Look if [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49192218/failed-to-retrieve-settings-from-https-settings-crashlytics-com-spi-v2-platfor) could be of any help. — shadowsheep, Mar 21 '19 at 10:35
Looks like I only needed to have "Editor" permission on the project. I'm not sure about that, but I didn't change anything else — VizGhar, Apr 17 '19 at 12:03

This is dumb but someone may have the same issue:

I had a proxy running while I was debugging, so the emulator couldn't reach the Firebase servers.

Configuring the proxy/emulator correctly fixed the problem

I just want to add this in case someone has this issu. I was getting the Failed to retrieve settings .... error despite Dashboard working. Turns out you have to enable Crashlytics. I had another app on the same project so it wasn't showing me the enable button until I switched to that app.
