How to use FirebaseCrashlytics.Instance.RecordException in Xamarin / C#?

Issue

To use Firebase Crashlytics I have done the following for my Xamarin / Android project:

• Registered app on Firebase
• Added google-services.json to project
• Installed Nuget package Xamarin.Firebase.Crashlytics 118.0.1
• Added <string name="com.google.firebase.crashlytics.mapping_file_id">none</string> to strings

I am a bit confused about the next step for actually recording the crash. I have read that there is no need to initialise anything and to use the function FirebaseCrashlytics.Instance.RecordException but I don't understand what I am actually supposed to put in the parameter, or where to use the function. I have tried looking at the samples on Git but they don't appear to be using this function anywhere.

Solution

There is no documentation on how to use package Xamarin.Firebase.Crashlytics, and developers have to rely on the official Firebase documentation to implement it.

However there is a procedure about this summaried by some developer ,you can check it here: https://github.com/a-imai/XamarinCrashlyticsUpgradeSample .

The main steps are as follows:

• Install necessary packages;

• Reinstall google-service.json;

• Use com.google.firebase.crashlytics.mapping_file_id;

• Removed firebase_crashlytics_collection_enabled from AndroidManifest.xml

For more details, you can check above documents.
