Google Webmasters change of address stuck at "Confirm that 301-redirects work properly"

The issue is pretty well described here: Google change of address, stuck at step 2.

When trying to migrate a site to a new domain in Google Webmasters, the Change of Address tool will eventually prompt you to check if the 301 redirects are configured. In my case it got stuck at that step and was not moving forward.

the solution was to temporarily enable Google Analytics in the browser. Once I did that, I was able to submit the request for a site move.
