Firebase Studio at a glance

What it is

Firebase Studio (formerly Project IDX) is Google's AI workspace for full-stack Firebase apps; Google is shutting it down (no new workspaces since June 22, 2026, full shutdown on March 22, 2027). Developers already invested in Firebase who want store apps without a Dart rewrite, including teams moving off Firebase Studio.

Stack

Next.js, React, Angular or Flutter web with Firebase Auth, Firestore and App Hosting

Publishing and hosting

Existing workspaces can still publish to Firebase App Hosting (or Firebase Hosting) until the shutdown. App Hosting serves the app on a hosted.app address, classic Hosting on web.app or firebaseapp.com. Because App Hosting itself keeps running, you can move the code to Google Antigravity, Google AI Studio or any editor and keep deploying to the same backend, so the URL in your app never changes.

Authentication

Firebase Authentication (email, Google, Apple)

Payments

Stripe (Firebase extension)

Builder badge

No builder badge to remove.

Example: from Firebase Studio project to approved app

Say you prototyped a chat app for a running club in Firebase Studio: members sign in with Google or Apple through Firebase Auth, post runs in a Firestore feed and chat about routes. You published it to App Hosting, connected club.yourdomain.com and wrapped it with WebViewGold, adding report and block options to the feed so it meets both stores' rules for user-generated content. Firebase Cloud Messaging sends a push when someone replies to your run. When Google announced the Firebase Studio sunset, you moved the code to Antigravity and reconnected it to the same App Hosting backend, so the approved apps never noticed. Updates now ship from the new editor to the same URL.

Your first week after launch

  • Confirm where your code lives now (AI Studio, Antigravity or your own repository) and that it deploys to the same App Hosting backend.
  • Check Firestore and App Hosting usage after launch; app users reopen the app many times a day.
  • Use Firebase Cloud Messaging for replies and mentions first, not for general announcements.
  • Keep your Firebase Security Rules strict; the app is public the moment it is in the stores.
  • Ask for a rating with rateapp:// after a user posts their first run.

Store-readiness prompt

Paste into Firebase Studio, review the changes, publish.

Prompt for Firebase Studio or Antigravity
Prepare this app for publishing as a native iOS and Android app (it will run inside a native WebView wrapper): add /privacy and /terms pages linked from the footer; add a "Delete my account" action that removes the Firestore data and the Firebase Auth user after confirmation; make all pages responsive from 320px to tablet widths with 44px tap targets; remove external promotional links; add a retry state for failed requests; set the title to the app name (max 30 characters).

  • Push notifications

Frequently asked questions

Can a Firebase Studio app be published in the stores?

Yes. Deploy it to Firebase App Hosting or Hosting, insert the public URL into WebViewGold and submit the native builds. Firebase keeps serving auth and data, also after Firebase Studio itself has shut down.

Can I still start a new project in Firebase Studio?

No. New workspaces and sign-ups have been disabled since June 22, 2026. Start new projects in Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity (the successors Google recommends) or any other editor, deploy to Firebase App Hosting as before and wrap that URL with WebViewGold the same way.

Firebase Studio is shutting down. Will my store app stop working?

No. Google says the sunset only affects the Firebase Studio development environment; App Hosting, Authentication and Firestore keep running and deployed apps stay online. Your WebViewGold app keeps loading the same URL, so you only need to move your code to a new editor before March 22, 2027.

Where should I keep developing my Firebase Studio project?

Google recommends Google AI Studio (in the browser) or Google Antigravity (a local, agent-driven IDE). To keep your existing URL, connect the migrated code to your current App Hosting backend; publishing to a new Cloud Run service or another host changes the URL and then requires a new app build with the new address.
