How to disable Firestore Datastore mode for new project and switch to Native Mode

Question

I'm developing a new iOS / Android App for which I need Firestore Native Mode. In my old project I see my Cloud Firestore (in native mode) but in my new project I think I accidentally selected Data-store somewhere, but I didn't add data yet. How can I revert this because I don't want to start a complete new project.

I've read this documentation

Old project:

Current one:

Answer 1

If you have not added any data to the database, the option to change to Native Mode should appear similar to the be below screenshot, which you can access from the GCP console directly and not from the Firebase Console.

There you should be able to change to Native Mode, without creating a new project.

Answer 2

You can switch to Native mode using the following Cloud shell command, but you need to clear all your entities.

gcloud alpha firestore databases update --type=firestore-native
