Fabric plug-in for Android Studio keeps logging me out

Question

I stumbled upon an issue with the Fabric plug-in for Android Studio. Basically, the plug-in keeps logging me out every other screen change. I tried updating AS to the latest stable version (3.1.3) and disabling/reenabling uninstalling/reinstalling the Fabric plug-in, but the issue is still there.

Visiting the plug-in page on JetBrains site, I noticed a user was having the same issue, like, eight months ago. That user wrote:

I consistently get a login loop. Using valid credentials I get no error message. I get to the next page right before getting bumped back to login. This prevents manual uploads and is super frustrating.

Unfortunately, there is also no way to distribute a build using Fabric's web site.

Therefore, my question is: Has anyone found a solution to the Android Studio plug-in issue? How would be possible to circumvent the issue and keep distributing builds using that plug-in?

Answer 1

I solved the login loop in Android Studio by logging into the fabric website via a browser and accepting a new terms agreement

Answer 2

There's a guide to distribute builds using Gradle, where the given command line example can be generalized as

gradlew assemble<BuildVariant> crashlyticsUploadDistribution<BuildVariant>

to select one from multiple flavors or build types that your project may have. Specifically, a <BuildVariant> is composed by <Flavor><BuildType>, properly camel-cased.

I would have liked to avoid this route, and doing stuff from the comfort of the plug-in window, but it works, and that's what matters in the end.
