i'm trying to build an admin (rails app) that adjusts some data in a project we have in firebase that uses cloud firestore. however, getting some really some feedback from the ui that this is not possible:

what am i missing?

Hello Howard,

You are right about the fact that you cannot use Firebase once you have used Datastore in the same project. This is the situation at present. As a workaround, you may open meanwhile a second project, to use Firebase, if this addresses your issue. There are plans to lift this restriction in future, but we can't provide any implementation estimate for the time being.
