Crashlytics: Using build server to make a release and upload the distribution of an Android App

Question

I'm using Crashlytics to distribute the Android app when making a build with the Build Server (Jenkins).

I've followed the instructions here: http://support.crashlytics.com/knowledgebase/articles/388924-beta-distributions-with-ant

Whenever I make a build through Jenkins has the ant commands described:

clean
release
crashlytics-upload-distribution -DbetaDistributionGroupAliases="team-android"

But I always get the error:

BUILD FAILED
Target "crashlytics-upload-distribution" does not exist in the project "release". 

For additional information, my file custom_rules.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="crashlytics_custom_rules" default="help">
    <!-- See the instructions at the top of crashlytics_build.xml
         for information about nonstandard builds. -->

    <import file="crashlytics/crashlytics_build.xml"/>

</project>

The files: crashlytics_build_base.xml & crashlytics_build.xml were not changed.

Also I'm using proguard on the builds, on the proguard-project.txt I've added:

# Crashlytics - To show correctly the stacktraces
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable

Can someone point me to what might be the error?

Thanks

Nevermind. I had several build.xml .

The one on the root folder was not the build.xml that imports Android default nor custom_rules.xml

I needed to invoke the

ant release crashlytics-upload-distribution -DbetaDistributionGroupAliases="team-android"

from the custom build.xml
