Some plugin can show not compatible but guys can't install/uninstall from IDE, You guys can remove from plugin folder – Surrender

Answer 1

This is the Firebase Services for Android Studio plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12667-firebase-services), (already stated by the message). This does not prevent you from upgrading to the latest version of Android Studio, it just lets you know that this plugin that you have installed is not compatible with the new version. It shouldn't be such a problem, because you can continue using Firebase Services, you just won't be able to add Firebase Services through the assistant - https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#assistant

After updating to 4.0 and restart Android Studio, you will get update option in Event Log for updating Firebase Services plugin. – Profit

Yes there is a new version of the Firebase Services plugin as of Jun 05, 2020, which wasn't available earlier. So one could use the suggestion notice to update it or update it at anytime by going to Preferences->Plugins and looking for "Firebase Services". Thanks @Profit – Linalinacre

I see the error, but no option to upgrade Firebase in Settings > Plugins. My Firebase version is 4.0.0. No idea what this Firebase thing is, though... – Halverson

Problem: Some plugins can show not compatible with every startup but guys can't install/uninstall from IDE. If you are facing this, remove it from the plugin folder in user/appData in windows. Example C:\Users\Qamar\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins – Surrender

Go to File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Update Firebase services plugin if update available or Disable the plugin for time being.

The warning will be gone and you can update the Android Studio!

After disabling the plugin, the warning is gone as shown in Image

In Android Studio 4.0.1 there is no File/Settings menu. Under AndroidStudio/Preferences I can get to the Plugins but there's no option to update the firebase services plugin – Bullfinch

@spartygw: Same here. Firebase version 4.0.0. No idea what this Firebase thing is, though... – Halverson

Answer 4

Android Application Connection problem with Firebase Solved

If you have connection problem with Firebase database when you click on connect option within android studio, please add google-service API in your build.gradle. As part of enabling Google APIs or Firebase services in your Android application you may have to add the google-services plugin to your build.gradle (Project Level) file:

dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4'
// ...

}
