I've started building an iOS app w/ Firebase for my company and linked it under my personal account. It turns out that I now need to move this project to a different, company-wide Google account as opposed to my personal account. I am wondering what conflicts this will cause in my project.  Will I need to change my Google Property list in my project? How will this affect dependencies in my project? Will I need to re-configure build targets in my project?

Thanks,
Galen

Hi Galen,

I'm pretty sure you can just add the new account as an owner by going to Settings > Permissions and specifying a new owner:









After this, you should be able to remove the old owner. There could be some minor complications if it's a paid account (I don't know how billing accounts interact with removing the person who created them; it's probably fine, but worth double-checking when you remove the old owner).

Note that for legacy projects still at firebase.com which have not been migrated to firebase.google.com yet, this would be slightly different. If you don't know what that means, it probably doesn't apply to you.

☼, Kato
