How to disable Firebase Crash Reporting when the app is running on debug?

Question

I have successfully implemented Firebase Crash Reporting, but I need to disable the service when the app is running undo the \'debug\' Build Variant, in order to avoid non-r

Answer 1

I use versionCode as filter for local/production builds.

gradle.properties

VERSION_CODE=1

app/build.gradle

android {
    defaultConfig {
        versionCode VERSION_CODE as int
    }
}

When publishing new version of app, just set new value from command line:

./gradlew build -PVERSION_CODE=new_value

Otherwise, when you're building from Android Studio, you will always get the same versionCode, so you can easily distinguish crash reports in Firebase console.
