Firebase Crashlytics doesn't show changes in Dashboard/Console iOS app

Question

I've been following an official doc from Firebase and this tutorial on Medium to double-check. I am sure I have:

• downloaded GoogleService-Info.plist
• added it to the root of my project
• in my Podfile replaced Fabric and Crashlytics with

pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics'
pod 'Firebase/Analytics' 

• made pod install
• added a run script in Build Phases

${PODS_ROOT}/FirebaseCrashlytics/run

• added input files

${DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH}/${DWARF_DSYM_FILE_NAME}/Contents/Resources/DWARF/${TARGET_NAME}
$(SRCROOT)/$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(INFOPLIST_PATH)

• changed Debug Information Format to DWARF with dSYM File
• imported import Firebase in AppDelegate.swift
• added

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    return true
}

• crashed an app
• log

 [Firebase/Crashlytics] Version 7.0.0

My problem is that this keeps running and that's it.

What am I doing wrong and how can I upgrade to FirebaseCrashlytics correctly? Thank you!

My guess is that you're simulating a crash with the debugger still attached, so Crashlytics can't catch it, hence why you have nothing in your dashboard.

To properly test your implementation locally, follow these steps:

• Click Build and then run the current scheme (the play button) in Xcode to build your app on a device or simulator.
• Click Stop running the scheme or action (the stop button) in Xcode to close the initial instance of your app. This initial instance includes a debugger that interferes with Crashlytics.
• Open your app again from the simulator or device.
• Force a crash in your app.
• Open your app once more to let the Crashlytics API report the crash. Your crash should show up in the Firebase console within 5 minutes
