Linux and Windows support

[cbenhagen]

Options are:

• C++ SDK
• Writing / Adopting existing dart-native implementations like firedart.

The second option might be harder but in the long run it might be easier to maintain.

Please show your support for this feature request by upvoting this idea. Thanks!

• C++ SDK

Note the following, from the documentation for that SDK:

Caution: Firebase C++ SDK desktop support is a beta feature. This feature is intended only for workflows during the development of your game, not for publicly shipping code.

I.e., it's an SDK for testing mobile games on desktop, rather than a desktop SDK.

[efraespada]

If Firebase C++ SDK desktop becomes stable, would it be integrated as expected?

[cbenhagen]

I guess pure Dart implementations would be the way to go then.

[cedvdb]

I'd say something lower level that all current sdk's can use would be the way to go. Wasm comes to mind

[salihgueler]

If we decide(e.g. I am planning to work on this) to tackle this, should we create separate issues per product and work on them accordingly?

[cbenhagen]

@salihgueler I think one meta issue and discussion in the PR would work as well but It's not up to me to decide. How do you plan to implement it?

[nilsreichardt]

An advantage of creating multiple tickets is that we can track which firebase package is how often requested.

[lzzy12]

Is there any work being done on desktop support (other than MacOS)?

[creativecreatorormaybenot]

It seems like discussions cannot be used for linking to pull requests. I suggest creating individual issues for the packages and platforms.

[jlubeck]

Is there any progress here?

[dgurudot]

Any updates for windows and linux support?

[cedvdb]

The dart native option sounds like it has disadvantages:

• looks like a monumental task
• it's one more library doing the same thing as others, except in another language
• there is the c++ sdk, might as well work on that one which will also support other languages, not just dart

Can someone please give an update about the current status for Windows support. Not having windows support is causing a lot of issues for us, so need to know how long it will take for Windows support to be covered. Thanks!

[lzzy12]

I don't think it's coming anytime soon

[tanzil114]

Thanks. well, I hope it's added soon as not having Firebase support is a deal-breaker for windows on Flutter

[barbalex]

Our app has 33 dependencies. 3 do not have windows support yet. Two of them are not vital (geolocation). The only blocking dependency left that does not support windows is firebase.

[worldwidee]

almost we are in 2022 and there is no windows support. The Windows version of my app is waiting for 6 months because i built with firebase for all platforms. "firedart" extension is giving nothing to me

[IchordeDionysos]

You can build an abstraction for Firebase? And use the Firebase APIs :)

[cedvdb]

If firedart existed, it would allow for tree shaking of the firebase js, doesn't it ?

[ghost]

personnaly I used the REST API, firedart have some limitation.

[dgurudot]

It will do code forking and also any update to firebase requires pull and it is not a true stream which makes the app not responsive and real time

Does the actual C++ SDK support linux ? If so, why there is not linux support yet on flutterfire side if we ignore the fact that flutterfire team is busy ? After all windows is supported and it does use the C++ SDK...

Almost 5 years, still waiting

Asking for Windows support.
Thanks.

[NonymousMorlock]

I thought we already had windows support, from v 2.11.0 changelog

[melWiss]

We as a community would like to understand why the delay, not blaming or anything. And is there anything we can help with? Like if everyone is spawning random packages to add this support, those will never be completed.

If there's a clear one repo to this support, documents, anything, clear roadmap, I believe that the community will be able to help more efficiently especially if there's also a clear leadership on this, we really want to help each other here.

Are you guys planning a big party for the 5-year anniversary?

[hitchcliff]

Linux support in 2025 please

[JamesFieldist]

And windows please!

[YesThatGy]

Throwing my voice in the din as part of the choir seeking Windows and Linux support!
