By linking Firebase and Google Play, you get a richer view into your Android
app's health. For example, in the Crashlytics dashboard, you can filter your
app's crash reports by Google Play track, which allows you to better focus
your dashboard on specific builds.
Prerequisites
Set up your app in Google Play
To take advantage of the Crashlytics integration with Google Play, make
sure that your app meets the following requirements:
Your app in Google Play and your Firebase Android App are both
registered using the same package name.
Your app in Google Play is
set up on the app dashboard
and is distributed to one of the Google Play tracks (Internal testing,
Closed testing, Open testing, or Production).
Link to Google Play
Link your Firebase Android App to your Google Play developer account:
In the Firebase console, go to
settings
>
Project settings
,
and then select the
Integrations
tab.
On the
Google Play
card
,
click
Link
.
If you already have links to Google Play, click

instead.
Follow the on-screen instructions to enable the Crashlytics integration
and select which Firebase Android Apps to link to Google Play.

Filter events by Google Play track
You can filter your app's crash reports by Google Play track directly in the
Crashlytics dashboard. This allows you to better focus your dashboard on
specific builds.
Here's how to filter by Play track:
At the top of the
Crashlytics dashboard
in the
Firebase console, select your desired Firebase Android App.
In the top-level
filter_list
Filter
menu, click
Versions
, and then select the Google Play track for which
you want to view Crashlytics events. You can select more than one track.
Click
Apply
.
All the data in the Crashlytics dashboard (crash-free statistics, trends,
and issues) will now be specific to the selected Play track(s)
and version(s).
