Firebase: There was an unknown error while processing the request. Try again.

Question

I'm just trying to creating new project in Firebase but getting this error every time.

Solution 1

What I did was sign out from Firebase and sign back in again. This worked.

The project was already created. The problem occurred because maybe the Firebase console was unable to sync or refresh, but signing out and back in worked for me. Try that.

Solution 2

My solution was to disable an Allow CORS plugin on Firefox. I hope it helps someone!

Solution 3

I have this issue as well however, it was because of an outage in the Firebase service. To check for outages, go to: https://status.firebase.google.com

You can see there are red dots which shows the outage in the Firebase console.

Clicking on the red dot will provide you with a status on what's going on.

Solution 4

Signing out and then back in didn't work for me. Even worse, my projects were created somehow in the background and then I finally got an error message that told me I reached a limit and wouldn't be able to create any new projects any more.

I got emails though informing me about a "Project Shutdown Announcement". I clicked the link there and landed on a site that listed all these projects that had been created in the background although the error message "There was an unknown error while processing the request" would indicate otherwise.

I restored one of the projects there and used that. Hope that helps.

Solution 5

I had same issue. I clicked "Cancel", then refreshed the page. Project appeared under "Recent projects".

I've encountered same error. It most likely connection problem, you should try again. Note: I think you also want to check to console.developers.google.com because that error might created 1 extra project on Google API, but failed to save on Firebase (that's happen to me)

True, just happened to me I signed out using Chrome and back in and the projects where not there. I didn't restart the Chrome app though, maybe that would have worked, instead I switched to Safari and logged in and 3 new projects all with the same name but different ProjectIDs were there. Facepalm

In my case, I could not access the firebase console. This solved it.

Yes I agree. Open Firebase -> Choose your project -> Go to Project Settings -> Go to Users and Permissions and check your role assigned to you. If you're an editor than you are restricted to add new changes. You can only modified the existing ones.
