Running Android App with Crashlytics from IntelliJ
android, crashlytics, intellij-idea, maven
Solution
The way I was able to get it to work was by going into the Maven Projects tab on the right side, select Plugins, select crashlytics and on the GenerateResources goal right-click and select "Execute Before Make"
Problem
I'm trying to integrate Crashlytics into our Android project with Maven. I have all required plugins set up and build executes and completes when `mvn clean package` from command line. When running app built from command line - it's all OK. Problems occurs when running application from IntelliJ. I think all `Crashlytics` magic happens when generate-resources phase is executed: ``` <plugin> <groupId>com.crashlytics</groupId> <artifactId>crashlytics-maven</artifactId> <version>1.0.3</version> <executions> <execution> <id>GenerateResources</id> <goals> <goal>GenerateResources</goal> </goals> </execution> <execution> <id>CleanupResources</id> <goals> <goal>CleanupResources</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ``` This plugin is added to my application pom.xml: ``` <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.crashlytics</groupId> <artifactId>crashlytics-maven</artifactId> <!-- full configuration declared in parent pom.xml --> </plugin> ... other plugins... <plugins> </build> ``` So - question is - how do I execute this goal when IntelliJ builds my APK? Error I get when application runs: ``` ERROR/AndroidRuntime(11626): FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application lt.my.app.MyApplication: com.crashlytics.android.CrashlyticsMissingDependencyException: Crashlytics did not find a required runtime dependency.

Although (today) it crashes when launching IntelliJ on Ubuntu machine.
