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

As has been said before - there is no official way to do this. But the worst workaround for me as mentioned @mark-d is to reset DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler (https://stackoverflow.com/a/39322734/4245651).

But if you just call System.exit(2) as was suggested - the app will be instantly closed on exception, without any dialog message and hard getting debug logs. If this is important to you, there is a way to restore default handler:

if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
        final Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler currentHandler = Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
        if (currentHandler.getClass().getPackage().getName()
                                                .startsWith("com.google.firebase")) {
            final Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler defaultHandler = 
                getPrivateFieldByType(currentHandler, Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler.class);
            Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(defaultHandler);
        }
}

Where

public static  T getPrivateFieldByType(Object obj, Class fieldType) {
    if (obj != null && fieldType != null) {
        for (Field field : obj.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) {
            if (field.getType().isAssignableFrom(fieldType)) {
                boolean accessible = field.isAccessible();
                if (!accessible) field.setAccessible(true);
                T value = null;
                try {
                    //noinspection unchecked
                    value = (T) field.get(obj);
                } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                if (!accessible) field.setAccessible(false);
                return value;
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}
