Crashlytics Mac App Download

On this date, the Fabric SDK and old versions of the Firebase Crashlytics SDK will stop sending crashes for your app. To continue getting crash reports in the Firebase console, make sure you upgrade to the Firebase Crashlytics SDK versions 17.0.0+ for Android, 4.0.0+ for iOS, and 6.15.0+ for Unity.

Migrating your Crashlytics account to Fabric ensures that you have access to the latest and most stable Crashlytics SDK.

  1. I'm using Crashlytics to distribute an app for Beta testing. While it is easy and convenient to install the app on devices from the Crashlytics app, I have not been able to figure out how I could download only the IPA from the Crashlytics server. Background: I need to get the IPA / APK for automated testing.
  2. Unable to Download App I was asked to fix an issue with an existing app called SmartPak wherein users on iOS 10.1+ would see a warning message about the app slowing down their phone if they were using a 64 bit device.
  3. Make sure you're including a new, different GoogleService-info.plist file from your iOS app, and make sure the app has started the onboarding process in the Firebase Crashlytics dashboard. This is what my Build Phases looks like: Make sure that when you cause a crash, the Xcode debugger isn't attached.
  4. Go to Fabric in your browser, find your new app, click 'Answers', and Enable it. Run your app a few more times, and setup within Answers should complete. This might take a few minutes, and you may need to remove the app from the emulator, and perform a fresh install. You will get a second email confirming your app is now in Answers.
  5. 1) This is a quick update with general Crashlytics fixes. Ironically, the #1 issue looks like it was embedded in the Crashlytics framework itself, and those have been updated as well. I've seen a few reports from users experiencing repeated crashes on iOS 14. I hope that is addressed, but I've had trouble reproducing the issue myself.

If you’re interested in migrating your account but not ready to upgrade all of your existing Crashlytics projects, that’s not a problem. Your original Crashlytics projects will continue to report crashes normally and dashboards can be accessed through https://www.fabric.io. When you decide to upgrade a project to Fabric, you’ll continue to have access to the full crash history since crash reports are linked to your organization’s API key, which stays the same after migrating.

Upgrade Crashlytics Account & Install Fabric¶

To upgrade your account, visit http://www.crashlytics.com/upgrade, enter your Crashlytics credentials and follow the instructions to download and install the Fabric Mac app for Xcode.

With your account upgraded and the Fabric OS X app installed, you’re ready to upgrade the Crashlytics SDK or upgrade the Crashlytics SDK & install additional Fabric kits.

Upgrade Crashlytics SDK¶

We’ve made the Crashlytics SDK upgrade process so easy that no code changes are required!

With your Xcode project open and the Fabric OS X app running, click on the Fabric icon in the toolbar and select the Upgrade button.

Follow the onscreen instructions to build your app (⌘-B) and drag the Fabric framework into your project. You should have both the Fabric and Crashlytics frameworks in your project.

Note

If the Fabric OS X app is stuck on the build step, make sure you don’t have conditional logic for debug builds around your Run Script Build Phase or Crashlytics initialization code.

Lastly, build and run your app (⌘-R) to verify the installation. That’s it! You’re now using Fabric and the latest Crashlytics SDK.

Upgrade Crashlytics SDK & Install Additional Fabric Kits¶

When installing new Fabric kits into your project, we’ll upgrade the Crashlytics SDK and include the new kit at the same time.

Select a kit to add to your project and follow the onscreen instructions to build (⌘-B) and modify your Run Script Build Phase to point to Fabric.framework.

should be updated to:

After updating your Run Script Build Phase and building, drag the new framework into your project. Once completed, you’ll have the following frameworks in your project (in this example, Twitter Kit was added):

Google Crashlytics

Update the code in your project with the described changes - importing the framework header files and replacing Crashlytics.startWithAPIKey with Fabric.with(). Using Fabric.with() allows for kits to be included modularly in your project as needed.

Lastly, build and run your app (⌘-R) to verify the installation.

Note

Fabric automatically creates a new entry in your info.plist to store your organization’s Fabric API key. This key must exist in your info.plist in order to associate your app with your organization.
