How can I rename the Firebase Project ID?

Question

I succeeded to rename my Firebase Project Name. I want to rename my Project ID as well, yet, it looks read-only.

I tried via Settings -> General, and via Permissions -> IAM etc, but with no success.

Does anyone know of any way of doing it? Thanks!

There is no way to change the project ID of a project.

Note that Ettore's answer allows you to change the name (2x) of a project, but not the ID. I'm pretty sure the *project ID* of a project still cannot be changed. If you think it can be, please share precise steps on how to change it. – Frank van Puffelen Apr 02 '17 at 14:15

I filed a feature request for "Rename Project ID" – Brian Burns Dec 07 '17 at 12:52

Got a quick response - "I filed this as a feature request and the engineers have a feedback about this. They have mentioned that, since project IDs must be globally unique identifiers in order to be used in features such as Realtime Database URLs, Firebase Hosting subdomain, and so on, it's unlikely that we would support editing the project ID due to the security and privacy issues that could result. - Christmer" So that's a no :) – Brian Burns Dec 07 '17 at 19:51

I had to Delete my project and Create a new one.

How to Delete : Settings -> Permissions -> All Projects

How to Create here.

Do not forget running:

firebase use --add from your project dir, and test both:

firebase serve and

firebase deploy.

You can just delete the current project, make a new project, download its google-services.json file and replace it with the current one in your app folder then finally you'll have to clean your project from Build -> CleanProject! That's it!

You can refer to this doc

https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158840?hl=en

The project ID is a unique identifier for a project. When you first create a project, you can accept the default generated project ID or create your own. A project ID cannot be changed after the project is created, so if you are creating a new project, be sure to choose an ID that you'll be comfortable using for the lifetime of the project.
