Firebase realtime database rules resetting itself

votes

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I created a new project using Android Studio and i went to the Firebase console to edit the realtime database, but it keeps looping back to a menu to choose either locked mode or test mode after i exit the database (and publishing new rules):

"Start in locked mode Make your database private by denying all reads and writes

Start in test mode Get set up quickly by allowing all reads and writes to your database"

At the moment i cant save any database rules, it'll just reset to either choose locked mode or test mode. This is odd because for the pasted month it was working great until this new menu popup.

That sounds odd. Can you check your browser's developer tools to see if there are any relevant messages showing? Also: can you try to reproduce in a browser window where you have all plugins disabled? - Frank van Puffelen
I have the same exact problem, tried with both safari and chrome (on mac); seems independent from the browser - Ettore Galli
Never got it to work, i'll have to try something else. Thanks for the help anyway. - Mars

I just found this issue and was totally confused. I realized it resets every time I deploy because firebase deploy sends a firestore.rules file every time. I just needed to update that firestore.rules rather than online.

I was able to pass through this by setting up the cloud firestore first. I don't know why they decided to do this.

I just deleted the app on Firebase and recreated it.
