Android Question Firebase Crashlytics with RemoteConfig - Crashlytics stops working

[Jack Cole]

I have been trying to update my apps to use the new Firebase SDK and Crashlytics. Crashlytics works fine until I add in RemoteConfig. Not seeing anything in unfiltered logs.

It must have to do with this integration step for RemoteConfig.

Replace in the Manifesteditor the line

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

with

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseRemoteConfig.Firebase)

Crashlytics sends reports before I perform the RemoteConfig integration, but not after.

Anybody get this to work yet?

CreateResourceFromFile adds code to the manifest editor from a file that is included inside the given jar. Open FirebaseAnalytics.jar with 7zip and you will see a file named Firebase.b4x_excluded.

You need to compare it to the file inside FirebaseRemoteConfig and find what is missing there.

Fixed it. I added this to the FirebaseAnalytics.jar file Firebase.b4x_excluded.

             <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.RemoteConfigRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar"/>
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.abt.component.AbtRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar"/>

I then changed this manifest line:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseRemoteConfig.Firebase)

Back to:

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)

Now, both Crashlytics and RemoteConfig are working. Thanks Erel!!

P.S., Could you incorporate this back into the internal library distribution?

If not, I guess I could make the change the other way within FirebaseRemoteConfig.jar.

It seems there is another conflict when adding FirebaseAdmob. It no longer sends crash reports when adding this library. Will try to see if I can figure it out.

I got it to work by including the manifest macro for Ads after Crashlytics. Here is the full set.

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)
'Firebase - Always required when using Firebase
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Firebase)
'Firebase Notifications / Push messages
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseNotifications.FirebaseNotifications)
''Firebase Analytics
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.FirebaseAnalytics)
''Firebase Auth
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAuth.FirebaseAuth)
'Firebase Crashlytics
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.Crashlytics)
''Firebase Ads
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAdMob.FirebaseAds)

How is this related to #1/The thread title?

I had an issue with the Firebase Remote Config and B4A 10.2. I had to remove the lib from my apps. Will be great if you can made it work again.

based on his post i would guess it should work again.

Have not had the time to test it by myself though.

Yes, it is working now if you follow the steps that I did. Don't forget to download the FirebaseAnlytics.jar above.
