1. Firebase storage rules: Support for multi-database lookup

   This is a documented limitation and as such not an idea, but putting it out here to see if it get vote-traction. See the warning at the bottom of the page here:

   https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/security/rules-conditions

   As of Feb. 25. 2025 it says

   "Warning: Storage Rules can only access documents from the default Cloud Firestore database when multiple databases are active."

   We have a project where we're doing tenant partitioning in both Firestore and firebase storage. The primary reason for creating separate buckets and databases is to be able to have storage in different customer preferred regions, and to achieve other isolations which are beneficial (backup/restore recovery scenarios etc.).

   Most files in firebase storage are protected by security rules that look up a document from the firestore database and checks access using a fairly standard acl scheme.

   This does not work unfortunately in a multi-db setup, which prevent this type of acl based storage security rules.

   I've not found any workarounds except an approach there the storage object Ids are long unique Ids that can't be "guessed" or brute force generated to look up an object in storage, but this is not as clean as being able to explicitly check access rights (and other logic on top of that using the rules language).

   The fact that it works in single/default db makes it feel like a significant takeback that the security design has the by changed when introducing multiple databases to the project.

   I think this is a common case for solutions doing tenant separation where there is a need to have objects in storage protected by acls.

2. Python support for Genkit

   A lot of AI applications and machine learning are done in Python. Bringing Genkit to Python would bridge the gap between data science, model creation, and applied machine learning use-cases.

5. Improve performance & speed of client side write

   I've used both Firestore and MongoDB's Realm Device Sync. While Firestore works great in terms of scaling, the performance and speed for client side write is far behind realm, especially when client side is doing some batch writes.

   Realm uses techniques like data compression and delta sync to reduce the data size when uploading (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/app-services/sync/details/protocol/), I'd like to see Firestore doing the same and improve the performance of client side batch write.

   Also, what I've noticed is that Firestore's client side write performance degrades a lot after some time being offline, this isn't great for apps that would like to optimize offline experience. Realm doesn't have this issue.

6. Firestore Index Name

   As a Firestore project grows, so do the number of Composite Indexes.

   While the fields are visible, being able to name a composite index would allow us to define which specific feature(s) a composite index is tied to, allowing us to remove unused indexes if they're no longer relevant.

7. One view for all apps in Crashlytics

   In a large project with 10+ apps, you have to select projects one by one to see crashes and all other details. Just like Google Analytics and some others (in the same tool), treat app ids as filters and provide ability to see everything at once.

8. Rules between Firestore and Realtime Database

   We've rules to limit access to data in both firestore and realtime database, but there are requirements where I need to specify a rule of realtime database based on a value in Firestore.

   Games are classical examples, I want to store the realtime game data in realtime DB but apply rules to read and write there based on my user and app data in firestore.

   Lack of this is either making me use either of the DB or write hard rules in client side (which is not really secure).

13. Firebase App Distribution Permissions Change

    Currently, the automated testing feature within Firebase App Distribution mandates that the user executing the test possess either the Project Owner or Project Editor IAM role. This requirement is overly broad and presents a significant operational barrier for organizations managing a large number of projects (e.g., 1,000+) where granting such high-level permissions is often restricted due to security policies and standard practices. Attempts confirmed that even users with high-privilege roles like Organization Admin and Firebase Admin were unable to run these tests, indicating the check is strictly limited to Owner/Editor.

    This limitation prevents teams from effectively utilizing the automated testing feature. We request the ability to run Firebase App Distribution automated tests using more granular permissions. Ideally, this would involve either identifying a specific set of minimum required permissions that can be bundled into a custom role or providing a new, less privileged predefined IAM role specifically for this purpose. Enabling finer-grained access control is crucial for the adoption and practical use of this feature in enterprise environments. Google Support acknowledged this limitation is known, on the product roadmap without a specific ETA, and filed an internal bug/request.

14. Add support for country-based user targeting in Firebase SDK

    It would be very helpful if the Firebase SDK included built-in support for targeting users based on their country. Currently, we have to handle this manually using workarounds or backend logic. Native support in the SDK for accessing the user’s country (based on IP or locale) and using it for feature targeting, in-app messaging, or remote config conditions would streamline country-specific personalization and improve the user experience.

    This feature would allow us to:

    Show different content or messages to users based on their country.

    Better segment users for A/B testing or campaigns.

    Reduce backend dependency for basic geographic targeting.

    Please consider adding this functionality directly in the Firebase SDK

17. App Distribution API includes information whether tester have installed the app

    Currently the only way to know whether a tester have installed a version is through the Firebase Console. I wish we could get this information through the App Distribution API too. Currently we only have lastActivityTime which is not very useful: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/app-distribution/rest/v1/projects.testers#Tester

18. Support MFA and future AuthN

    Currently when using the emulator you can't use MFA as it throws an error and the only way to test this functionality is to switch over to using the real version. This is cumbersome and makes it difficult to test your auth workflow. Also your adding Authn as well and I hope that is support by the Auth Emulator as well.

19. Cloud Storage

    Hi, good day.

    I am an aspiring developer currently exploring cloud technologies. I’ve been trying to access Firebase Cloud Storage using the Spark plan, as 1 GB of storage is more than enough for my current needs. However, I’ve encountered difficulties because it requires a billing statement to proceed, which is beyond my current means.

    I’m reaching out because I believe having a free, accessible environment is crucial for new developers like me who are just starting out. We understand that maintaining cloud infrastructure is costly, but access to even limited resources can be a great opportunity for us to learn and grow without the burden of upfront costs.

    I hope there’s some way you could consider a more accessible path for those of us who are eager to learn but constrained financially. Thank you for your time and understanding.
