Add iOS project to Fabric/Crashlytics without using Fabric app. Requires use of cocoapods.

FabricWithoutFabricApp.md

• create a new project from Xcode
• open a terminal, go to the project folder
• pod init
• open Podfile, add:

pod 'Fabric'
pod 'Crashlytics'

• pod install
• open workspace
• open Info.plist, add Fabric item:

	<key>Fabric</key>
	<dict>
		<key>APIKey</key>
		<string>YOUR_API_KEY</string>
		<key>Kits</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>KitInfo</key>
				<dict/>
				<key>KitName</key>
				<string>Crashlytics</string>
			</dict>
		</array>
	</dict>

(see attached image)

• open target Build Phases tab
• add New Run Script Phase

	"${PODS_ROOT}/Fabric/Fabric.framework/run" YOUR_API_KEY YOUR_BUILD_SECRET

• open target Build Settings/Debug Information Format and make sure that, for every configuration, is

DWARF with dSYM File

(if you forget, no worries, Fabric will show you a warning during the build)

• run from simulator
• app should now be available from your Fabric dashboard (make sure you refresh the browser)
• hooray!
