使用 firebase-crashlytics-gradle 的 Crashlytics 上传失败

Question

I recently migrated to using firebase-crashlytics-gradle rather than the deprecated Fabric plugin. However, I seem to have a compile-time clash with Apache HttpClient, because when I enabled upload of the mapping file, I get the following error:

Execution failed for task ':nda:uploadCrashlyticsMappingFileTst'.
> org.apache.http.entity.FileEntity.<init>(Ljava/io/File;)V

It looks like the FileEntity in my compile classpath is missing a single-argument constructor accepting a File instance and reading the source code states it's been there since v4.2. When I navigate to FileEntity using Android Studio's "go to class" I end up inside org.apache.http.legacy-android-29.

What's going on here; is Firebase Crashlytics SDK somehow incompatible with targetSDK 29 or what can I do to resolve this issue so that the mapping files are uploaded?

Answer 1

So as I thought, the problem was with an old third-part plugin on the classpath. I solved it by enabling obfuscation/minification only for release builds and then made sure the third-part plugin only runs for non-release builds.

Was very hard to figure out, given that the dependency graph is for compile and runtime but not for build time.
