Android: Setting Firebase debug (dev) and release (prod) environment

Can we have a setup that uses two separate Firebase project? The idea is to put two different google-services.json in src/debug directory for dev environment and src/release for prod environment. The expected result is debug build will use the google-services.json from a Firebase project that is dedicated for development only. It is also expected that google-services.json in ProjectName/app folder is no longer needed.
