android - Fabric's Crashlytics with Firebase can't be disabled for DEBUG builds

Question

I have an app that utilises Fabric's Crashlytics via Firebase. The following is the first thing executed in my Applications onCreate

CrashlyticsCore crashlyticsCore = new CrashlyticsCore.Builder()
    .disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
    .build();
Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics.Builder().core(crashlyticsCore).build());

Nonetheless, the crashes are submitted in DEBUG == true mode.

I use the following versions

in my build.gradle classpath "io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.1"

in my app/build.gradle implementation "com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.1"

Unfortunately the crashes still get reported. Any ideas, what I am doing wrong?
