Unable to use Crashlytics on Android tns >6.1.0 < tns.next, app crashes on load, sits on splash screen and emulator eventually times out

[Ianc22]

Hey @EddyVerbruggen

I've done some more digging and found the following, This issue went un noticed for months, it was only when having to clone the project when the issue became apparent.

So, upgraded to android tns 6.1.1 about a month ago and 6.1.2 soon after and obviously had the app running all through that time.

It turns out, having platforms prepared on 6.1.0 and then upgrading to >6.1.1 there are no issues. I've tried tns prepare --force after the upgrades and still it runs without issue.

As soon as I remove platforms though and re build on >6.1.1 we have the behavior pointed out in this issue...

And to confirm still crashlytics...

Hope that helps!

Another thing I've tried is using {N} Gradle hooks, in particular buildscript.gradle

https://docs.nativescript.org/core-concepts/android-runtime/advanced-topics/gradle-hooks#buildscriptgradle

Initially, when running prepare the build.gradle created in platforms looks like so

Below is the results after prepare, as you can see firebase.build.gradle is overwriting both my google services and fabric versions in build.gradle, am I missing something ?! :P

OK so seems a CLI issue,

This fixed it for me!

    "tns-android": {
        "version": "6.3.0-2019-10-22-105535-01"
    }

Still, would be nice to sort out gradle.build if you have any thoughts?
