• This utility allows you to generate Crashlytics UUID for you package name.
• This is useful for generating UUIDs for Xamarin.Android application without having to create and install a Android application and deal with Fabric.

1. Android Studio installed.
2. OSX or Linux machine.

1. Clone, or download the source from this repository.
2. Edit the file generate_ids.sh.
3. Add your fabricApiKey and your package(s) name.

Example:

declare fabricApiKey="yourfabrickey"
declare -a array=(                
                "com.test.build"
                "com.test.build.qa"
                "com.test.build.dev")

4. Run the script ./generate_ids.sh
5. Get the results from the commandline, or from the generated file generated_crashlytics_ids.txt Results example:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 7.912 secs
*** DONE ***
fabric api key: yourfabrickey
com.test.build	262d4cf2-823f-45b6-9911-4a25b2e87f6c
com.test.build.qa	86b85f93-e0cd-4c16-adea-119rf4t2dfbb
com.test.build.dev	e0f775bf-0647-496d-b0dd-728h67d158c9

To configure crashlytics in you Xamarin android Project you must:

1. Install the Crashlytics nuget package from here.
2. Initialize Fabric with crashlytics in your Application or MainActivity class:

using IO.Fabric.Sdk.Android.Services.Common;
public override void OnCreate()
{
    IO.Fabric.Sdk.Android.Fabric.With(this, new Com.Crashlytics.Android.Crashlytics());
}

3. Add fabric Api key inside AndroidManifest.xml

<meta-data android:name="io.fabric.ApiKey" android:value="1262f57dab2712f349faa97a21cd1a42b598" />

4. Finally create the file Resources/valuescom_crashlytics_build_id.xml and place the generated UUID inside of it. File sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<resources>
    <string name="com.crashlytics.android.build_id" translatable="false">262d4cf2-823f-45b6-9911-4a25b2e87f6c</string>
</resources>

Run the application and it should get registed in crashlytics and ready to report crashes.

NOTE: The generated UUID don't need to be re-generated for the same package name everytime you build the package.
