Firebase Crashlytics - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Crashlytics build ID is missing

Question

As per new version of Firebase Crashlytics added in Our App and application stopped at launch time.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Crashlytics build ID is missing. This occurs when Crashlytics tooling is absent from your app's build configuration. Please review Crashlytics onboarding instructions and ensure you have a valid Crashlytics account.

App-Level Gradle apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:17.1.1'

Project-Levle Gradle classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.2.0'

Follow steps by step from Firebase guides Firebase Guides

But earlier Fabric version is too much better than current one.

Any help will be appreciated.

Having the same issue. Will post solution here once I figure it out — Peter, Aug 18 '20 at 11:02

In the build.gradle at the application level, add the following imports
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

Then, in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file, upgrade your gradle version to 5.6.4
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

I used to run my app with gradle 5.1.1 and upgrading to the version 5.6.4 fixed my problems

I hope it'll help you !

Thanks, this helped to resolve the issue. I've checked at https://services.gradle.org/distributions/ that 5.6.4 is the most recent version 5. – Martijn Dec 15 '20 at 10:50

This is why google document sucks. There is no mention of this. Wasted 1 hr trying to add the id somehow by updating google-services.json and what not. – TiN Aug 27 '21 at 23:41
Also remember to include the buildscript dependencies classpath in the root build.gradle as mentioned by Amir Raza – TiN Aug 27 '21 at 23:42
I am trying to remove crashlytics since my team is migrating to Sentry. When i removed all references to Crashlytics i am getting this error `E/FirebaseCrashlytics: The Crashlytics build ID is missing. This occurs when Crashlytics tooling is absent from your app's build configuration. Please review Crashlytics onboarding instructions and ensure you have a valid Crashlytics account.` how do i resolve this? – Etienne Lawlor Apr 27 '23 at 02:18

That normally happens when the plugin apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics' is missing in build.gradle app level.

If anyone still have problem with this issue, try using crashlytics gradle verions 2.1.1 in project level gradle. I solved my problem by doing so.

buildscript {       
    ...
    dependencies {
        ... 
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.1.1'    
    }
}

While indeed downgrading this from 2.4.1 to 2.1.1 (or even 2.2.1) resolved the issue, it's probably a better option to update the cradle version in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file, as instructed by xerib: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63795391/2439941 – Martijn Dec 15 '20 at 10:48

please add

 classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:x.x.x'

to your project's build gradle. And don't forget to add following lines to your app's build gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
    id 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
}

It will also happen if you forgot to include classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1' in your project level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // Check that you have Google's Maven repository (if not, add it).
        google()
    }

    dependencies {
        // ...

        // Check that you have the Google services Gradle plugin v4.3.2 or later
        // (if not, add it).
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'

        // Add the Crashlytics Gradle plugin
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // Check that you have Google's Maven repository (if not, add it).
        google()
    }
}

The only thing that solved my problem was to add the following line - <string name="com.crashlytics.android.build_id">1</string> to strings.xml, as suggested here.

Don't see such a plugin listed @ https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#available-libraries almost thought this wouldn't work. – Anand Rockzz Jul 10 '22 at 13:14

After several hours i finally figured it out. I used ./gradlew app:dependencies command to list the dependency tree just to notice, that some libraries (that were not up to date) used older version of crashlytics library. I updated them and the issue was finally gone!
