Can't link app in Fabric to existing Firebase project

Question

I'm trying to migrate my Android app from Fabric Crashlytics to Firebase Crashlytics. My app has an existing Firebase project set up for messaging and analytics. This Firebase project is not yet linked to Fabric.

I start in the Firebase console. When I select the Crashlytics option for my app, I'm asked if the app is already set up for Crashlytics, which it is.

When I confirm this, I'm then prompted to head over to Fabric and link the Crashlytics app to the Firebase project.

So I follow that link and head over to Fabric to start the migration process. In Fabric, I'm prompted to drag or click to create a new Firebase project.

Regardless of whether I drag an app or click, I'm prompted to set up a new Firebase project. It does not allow me to enter the existing Firebase Project ID. If I try, by editing the Project ID field, it tells me that the ID is already taken.

How can I link my existing Firebase project here?

Answer 1

After contacting Fabric support, they helpfully pointed out that I need to be an owner of the Firebase project in order for the migration to work. After I became an owner, the Firebase project showed up in Fabric and the migration worked flawlessly.
