Carefully Handle Android Crashlytics SDK Migration 2020

Recently you all have got a mail from Firebase team regarding Firebase Crashlytics SDK update which says :

Firebase announced Firebase Crashlytics SDK and unfortunately now Fabric Crashlytics SDK currently we are using are deprecated. We need to update it before November 15,2020.

Note : If you have latest dependencies in build.gradle for Firebase Analytics(Version 17.4.4) & Firebase Messaging(Version 20.2.3) and Firebase working fine then follow the guide below Step 4.

Let’s follow the simple steps to Migrate before falling into serious problems 😄

1. First update the Firebase dependencies specially (Analytics & Messaging if using in project) to latest version & sync project. Update Analytics SDK to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.4.4'

2. If everything goes fine without error, update Firebase Messaging SDK to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.2.3'

But, when you will update Firebase Crashlytics SDK dependency or Firebase Analytics Dependency you will start facing error like this (Error communicating Firebase Installations Server Api (Error code 403)):

3. For better understanding on how to solve this error read this :
