Crashlytics was applied to a project without an Android plugin

I am working on a cordova app that uses cordova-fabric-plugin.

We are recently having this error when building the app with Gradle, and we are not able to identify the cause:

Failed to apply plugin [id 'io.fabric'] Error:(66, 0) Crashlytics was applied to a project without an Android plugin. Please make sure the Crashlytics plugin is applied after the appropriate Android plugin for your project.

Gradle build is generated from a package.json file which defines the dependencies of the project. Two of these dependencies are:

• cordova-android: 7.0.0
• cordova-fabric-plugin: ^1.1.10

This is the generated build.gradle file that causes the error:

build.gradle

Is this a bug in the plugin? Can someone help me here, please?

Thank you. Kind regards.

I got this error:

Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/chancezeus/FabricPlugin.git via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL. Failed to get absolute path to installed module (node:34859) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

For those looking for a quick fix for now, I just created a quick fork with my fixes applied. I tested a quick build with android 7.0.0 and there seem to be no problems. The fix should remain backwards compatible and thus should be pullable as is without any issues. Pull request (#122) has been submitted but for now you can install my version using: [ionic] cordova plugin add https://github.com/chancezeus/FabricPlugin.git --variable FABRIC_API_KEY={YOUR API KEY} --variable FABRIC_API_SECRET={YOUR API SECRET}

Hope it helps those in need 😌
