Execution failed for task ':app:generateCrashlyticsSymbolFileRelease'. > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

See original GitHub issue

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

  • Android Studio version: 3.6.1
  • Firebase Component: Crashlytics
  • Component version: 17.0.0-beta02, 17.0.0-beta01 (ndk)

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

My goal is to configure readable stack traces of native crashes in firebase console.

I started with a simple hello-jni project in order to minimize real project environment issues.

Currenlty, I am able to see native crashes in firebase console in a following format:

Crashed: Thread: SIGSEGV  0x0000000000002639
       at (Missing)()
       at (Missing)()
       at (Missing)()

After that I tried to execute following in order to upload native symbols

>./gradlew app:assembleRelease 
>./gradlew app:uploadCrashlyticsSymbolFileRelease

assembleRelease is successfull, however app:uploadCrashlyticsSymbolFileRelease failed with the following error (–stacktrace)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:generateCrashlyticsSymbolFileRelease'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:generateCrashlyticsSymbolFileRelease'.

Hi @vokilam! Thanks for the reproduction case!

I was able to find and fix the issue causing this NPE, and the fix will be available in the next release of the Crashlytics Gradle plugin.

Great, thanks @triplef. I’ll continue tracking this issue here, and I’ll follow up with our support team on your case to see if we can disambiguate the issues.
