Getting: Fabric could not be initialized, API key missing from AndroidManifest.xml while I have fabric.properties with apiKey

I am trying to hide apiKey and apiSecret from open source library while still providing buildable sources to Travis continuous integration.

In official documentation is stated here: that it should work that I have fabric.properties with:

apiKey=7dee86d.....e7f76d8e9453
apiSecret=a6cdefeb0a8f....c8a5d9fa2f5f9895931cc2

And then I can remove...

Remove the Fabric API key element from your AndroidManifest.xml

and instead of that...

Add the Fabric API key to your fabric.properties: apiKey=fabric_api_key

I initialise fabric normally 

Fabric.with(this, Crashlytics(), Answers())

but still I am getting exception:

    E/Fabric: Failure onPreExecute()
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Fabric could not be initialized, API key missing from AndroidManifest.xml. Add the following tag to your Application element

Make sure that you apply plugin: 'io.fabric' in your build.gradle - even if you are not using Fabric/Crashlytics, say, in debug build - it still needs to run..
