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

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: enter image description here

After creating 1 entity and removing the same entity, it's not possible anymore to switch to native: enter image description here

Solution

  • 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.

    GCP

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