Plugin incompatible with the new build found: Firebase Services

Question

I am not able to update to Android Studio 4.0

When I check for updates, it is showing me the below message.

"Plugin incompatible with the new build found: Firebase Services."

Answer 1

This is the Firebase Services for Android Studio plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12667-firebase-services), (already stated by the message). This does not prevent you from upgrading to the latest version of Android Studio, it just lets you know that this plugin that you have installed is not compatible with the new version. It shouldn't be such a problem, because you can continue using Firebase Services, you just won't be able to add Firebase Services through the assistant - https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#assistant

Answer 2

Go to File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Update Firebase services plugin if update available or Disable the plugin for time being.

The warning will be gone and you can update the Android Studio!

After disabling the plugin, the warning is gone as shown in Image
