I want to delete android app and create a new app in firebase project to change package name, buy I don't know what impact is by delete app.

I found this doc about delete firebase. Is there any impact else after delete app?
appreciate for answer.
The app is simply removed from the project. That's all. Nothing else in the project will change. You can then create a new app, get a new configuration file for it, and start using it immediately.

I am using firebase with my android and iOS app.
My android app got removed from play store once (had to be 18+, it was 16+, don't know why they deleted it, its a joke app and no nudity or brutality is shown :D). Now many users have the old version which will receive no updates anymore. We managed to get many users to change to the new app (uploaded with different package name, everything else is the same)
I want to remove the old version from firebase. It uses old code and will not receive updates.
QUESTION
If I remove the old app from the project, will users still be able to connect to my firebase?
My hope is that they won't be able and will remove the old app (and maybe look up the new one as a reaction)
Will it make anything unexpected? I did not find anything about it despite that I lose the analytics.
As I cannot update the old app there is probably no other way to remove it.
To connect to the Realtime Database from an Android or iOS app, all the app needs to know if the URL of that Realtime Database. So no matter if there's an app registration in the Firebase project or not, if the code has the right URL it can connect.
My client has recently changed their Firebase instance (meaning its under a different project, in a different google sign on). I.e. they have a new instance that they want to use for production. I created the new instance and project with a different name to avoid any confusion. So for Android i removed the old google-services.json and downloaded the new one from Firebase and copied it into the android/app directory. Then I reviewed the project level and app level gradel files. No problems there. I checked inside the new google-services.json file and can clearly see that it is pointing to the new instance of Firebase.
Here's a snippet below:
"project_info": {
"project_number": "506498949424",
"firebase_url": "https://lbds-aeb3d.firebaseio.com",
"project_id": "lbds-aeb3d",
"storage_bucket": "lbds-aeb3d.appspot.com"
},
The old name was LittleBigDeals instead of lbds.
Actually this process has worked fine for the IOS side of the project. The app is now pointing at the new database.
However when I install it on ANdroid it still retrieves data from the old database.
Is there a pointer I'm missing or that I need to refresh in the Android set up.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
I had this same issue yesterday. I had changed to a different Firebase project in my Flutter app. iOS worked fine but Android still was attempting to use the incorrect Firebase project, despite google-services.json clearly pointing to the new project. The issue appeared to be limited to my local machine but was very bizarre and annoying. Another developer suggested that I try the "flutter clean" command, and once I ran flutter clean and re-started the virtual Android device, it then used the correct Firebase instance.
I am working with Master Detail with Firebase Angular template, and I can successfully build the app locally.
But then when I try to reconfigure the app for my own firebase project, nothing seems to change. It continues to query the default app's firebase.
I have followed the instructions for changing firebase app to my own to the letter but I cannot figure out why it still keeps pointing to the old app.
These are the steps I take to change the firebase app:
I create an App in Firebase, using the app id from package.json.
I download google-services.json and copy it to App_Resources/Android/google-services.json
Additionally, I delete google-services.json from platforms/android/app, just in case.
I uninstall the previously installed App from the emulator. I event deleted and created a new emulator to make sure there are no remnants of the previously built app.
I search all the files in the project for any reference for https://car-rental-b26b7.firebaseio.com which is the default firebase app that comes with the template, and I don't find anything at all.
I also edited firebase.common.ts with the following upon successful initialisation:
.then((instance) => console.log("firebase.init done", instance),
Just to see which project its initialising.
7. Finally, I build: tns run android
And sure enough, the console log shows https://car-rental-b26b7.firebaseio.com as the project being initialised.
I know for definite it is copying the new project's google-services.json over to platforms/android/app, because when I deleted the file it refused to build, as expected. Placing the file back, it builds successfully.
But I have no idea why it continues to reference the original firebase project.
Has anyone come across something similar?
I have moved my Flutter App in Firebase from one Project to another new Project and replaced previous google-services.json with the new one. Then I tried the App it was still connected to the previous project, all data was created in the old project, even if I have deleted the app from the old project. I couldn't find a solution to fix it so I deleted the old firebase project and cleared all caches. Then the App started to return API is Invalid errors. I made sure that I dont have any multiple files or they API is written somewhere else a well. without the new google-services.json it returns the error No API Key was found so it seems to be right placed.
I ran out of ideas how to fix it. Did I miss anything?
SOLVED
I was having the same error and I solved it by deleting the build folder and then running flutter package
The only way to solve it was to change my package name and create a new App in my project. I guess the problem is internal at firebase that the old app didn't get properly deleted in the previous project.
I renamed my app in Xcode and that resulted in me having to create a new app in Firebase. I want to delete the other app but there doesn't look like there is the option to. There must be a way to do this, so how is it done?
At the time of posting this question this feature was not available but now it is. Select the app in your project settings, click advanced and click delete app.
