Firebase project already associated

Firebase Association Issue in FlutterFlow

Sometimes, you might encounter an error that says:

"Firebase project already associated with one or more FlutterFlow projects. Only the owner of the original FlutterFlow project can add this Firebase project to another FF project. If you are the owner and you believe this is a mistake, please contact support@flutterflow.io."

This means that the Firebase project you're trying to use is already linked with another FlutterFlow project, and only the original owner has permission to add it to a different project.

Solution

The only solution we could find to address this problem is:

  1. Remove the old Firebase project.
  2. Create a new Firebase project.
  3. Ensure that you add firebase@flutterflow.io as an Editor to the new Firebase project.

Note that this is necessary because FlutterFlow does not have direct access to the Firebase account until you explicitly add firebase@flutterflow.io as an Editor. This is crucial to ensure proper integration between FlutterFlow and Firebase.

Want to connect your existing Firebase project to FlutterFlow manually? Here's how to do it step-by-step! 🚀

If you already have a Firebase project and need to link it to your current FlutterFlow app, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Start in FlutterFlow: Head to Settings & Integrations > Project Setup > Firebase and click on Firebase Setup Wizard. You'll see a dialog pop up to guide you through the process.

  2. Setup Firebase: In the pop-up dialog, scroll down and check Setup Firebase, then click Next Step. You'll need to allow FlutterFlow access to your Firebase project before continuing.

  3. Allow FlutterFlow Access: To grant access:

    • Open your Firebase console, navigate to the far-left menu, and go to Project Settings > Users and Permissions.

    • Click Add Member in the top right and add firebase@flutterflow.io as an Editor. Once added, press Add Member to save.

    • In the same section, click Advanced Permission Settings (a small blue link). This will open up the Google Cloud console.

  4. Set Permissions in Google Cloud: Now we need to give the right roles to firebase@flutterflow.io:

    • Find the user firebase@flutterflow.io and select Edit principal (pencil icon).

    • Click + Add Another Role and search for Service Account User to assign it.

    • Repeat the process by clicking + Add Another Role again, and search for Cloud Functions Admin.

That's it! Once these permissions are set, FlutterFlow can take it from there, and you can continue setting up your app seamlessly.
