Failed to retrieve settings from https://settings.crashlytics.com/spi/v2/platforms/android/apps/

Question

I am trying out the new Firebase/Crashlytics setup and seem to run into a weird issue.

• I have one Android code base with multiple product flavors and each flav

Answer 1

I came across this issue in the new Firebase SDK upgrade to 17.0.0+ version.

The issue was caused when we use multiple flavors. In case you are using a separate flavor - debug and have it linked to firebase as well, instead of adding the google-services.json file to the app root, we have to add the flavor specific json file to the appropriate folder for the flavor - app -> src -> (flavor folder).

This will ensure that the generated code has the correct client id for the flavor.

This is a silly mistake but there are chances for people to miss it.
