The guide also shows using CoroutineExceptionHandler within viewModelScope to log non-fatal crashes and display Snackbar messages to users, plus refactoring shared logic into a base MakeItSoViewModel class. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I add Firebase Crashlytics to a Jetpack Compose Android app? Add the Firebase BoM and firebase-crashlytics-ktx dependency to app/build.gradle, apply the com.google.firebase.crashlytics Gradle plugin, and add the crashlytics Gradle plugin classpath (2.9.2) plus google-services classpath (4.3.2+) to the project-level build.gradle. After syncing, crashes are automatically captured and shown in the Firebase Console without further code changes. _daily.dev surfaces practical Firebase and Android setup guides like this Crashlytics walkthrough._ ### How can I log non-fatal exceptions to Crashlytics from a Kotlin coroutine in a ViewModel? Create a CoroutineExceptionHandler that calls Firebase.crashlytics.recordException(throwable) inside a LogService, then pass that handler to viewModelScope.launch(exceptionHandler). This automatically catches exceptions thrown inside the coroutine, logs them as non-fatal crashes to Crashlytics, and can simultaneously trigger a Snackbar message via a SnackbarManager to inform the user. _Developers wiring up crash reporting in coroutine-based apps can find similar patterns on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Building an AI Chat App for Android with Jetpack Compose](https://daily.dev/posts/building-an-ai-chat-app-for-android-with-jetpack-compose-qqxuyityi) · Medium · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to Build Accessible Android Apps with Jetpack Compose: A Comprehensive Guide](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-build-accessible-android-apps-with-jetpack-compose-a-comprehensive-guide-qgsyi1zxt) · freeCodeCamp · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Migrating to Jetpack Compose: How AI Accelerated Our Journey at Caper](https://daily.dev/posts/migrating-to-jetpack-compose-how-ai-accelerated-our-journey-at-caper-ih6kovw5g) · Instacart · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#kotlin](https://daily.dev/tags/kotlin), [#jetpack-compose](https://daily.dev/tags/jetpack-compose) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/adding-crashlytics-to-a-jetpack-compose-app-thgcvchwa) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Adding Crashlytics to a Jetpack Compose app","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-crashlytics-to-a-jetpack-compose-app-thgcvchwa","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-crashlytics-to-a-jetpack-compose-app-thgcvchwa"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:21:19.690Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:46:26.836Z","description":"A step-by-step guide walks through integrating Firebase Crashlytics into an Android app built with Jetpack Compose, part of a series building the 'Make It So'...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b964b5dc742fc0bc236a0798a8d824a2?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b964b5dc742fc0bc236a0798a8d824a2?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-crashlytics-to-a-jetpack-compose-app-thgcvchwa","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"android,kotlin,jetpack-compose","timeRequired":"PT10M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Adding Crashlytics to a Jetpack Compose app"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-crashlytics-to-a-jetpack-compose-app-thgcvchwa#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I add Firebase Crashlytics to a Jetpack Compose Android app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Add the Firebase BoM and firebase-crashlytics-ktx dependency to app/build.gradle, apply the com.google.firebase.crashlytics Gradle plugin, and add the crashlytics Gradle plugin classpath (2.9.2) plus google-services classpath (4.3.2+) to the project-level build.gradle.
