Please provide a link to what you installed.  
What is the “fabric variable” that you can’t access?

As describe in above link for sending crash report to portal  
window.fabric.Crashlytics.addLog(“about to send a crash for testing!”);  
window.fabric.Crashlytics.sendCrash();

so fabric variable is not accessible on window

Yeah, please excuse that I don’t read all that. It is somehow expected from people asking for help to include such information. Thanks.

How and where are you testing?  
What is your `ionic info` output?

What error are you getting?  
Try to run `ionic build` on the command line.

Please just post the complete error text. Your paraphrase is not enough.

Put this between your imports and `@IonicPage`:

```auto
declare var window: any;

```

This way TS knows that `window` exists and can be worked with.

PS: Next time please post real text, not a screenshot. Thanks.

Where exactly do you get that error?

You should probably wrap the plugin call into `platform.ready` to make sure the plugin is actually loaded.

In type script code if i write fabric.Crashlytics.addLog(“about to send a crash for testing!”);  
fabric.Crashlytics.sendCrash(); den this crash will register at fabric portal but if some type script code error occur den that crash is not reporting at portal.

so non-fatal errors are not registering at portal

You have to find a way to “catch” these errors and then call that Crashlytics method with its information. I would look into other crash reporting plugins for Ionic/Angular/Cordova how they do it.
