  <p>I would like to have Crashltytics to also report these crashes. We don't use any NDK library and the crash should be coming from external 3rd party libraries. I am reading <a href="https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/ndk.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/ndk.html</a>, yet still not sure how to do it.</p>
  <h1>Question 1</h1>
  <p>Given that I am already using Crashlytics in my Android app, what is the exact configuration change I have to make/add to have crashlytics report NDK crashes from external 3rd party library?</p>
  <h1>Question 2</h1>
  <p>In <a href="https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/ndk.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.fabric.io/android/crashlytics/ndk.html</a>, it mentioned <code>Uploading symbols for external dependencies</code>. What are <code>symbols</code>? Should I care about it?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
