Desktop (Windows, Linux, MacOs) support for Flutter apps that use Firebase in production apps
Flutter developers should be able to run their apps on desktop platforms, including Windows and Linux, when using Firebase services. For example, Flutter developers should be able to 1) apply Analytics to data from desktop platforms, 2)
use Remote Config to customize their apps for desktop users, 3) use other Firebase services that are relevant to desktop apps, etc.
This would make it easier for Flutter developers to build and deploy production-ready apps for desktop platforms.

I've been using Firebase for a while now for shipping on Mobile devices, now wanted to transfer my experiences to desktop platforms but the support is just limited.
Considering looking at other platforms but hoping the team Firebase Flutter will look at this issues soon

I need Firebase Messaging support on windows flutter app!

what's the status here?

Kinda baffling really, I'm now actively looking for alternatives to learn and implement after already successfully implementing Firebase in a web/mobile app.

Having Linux support would really help

windows where the things needs to be come first as for the windows major users count

Even linux and MACOS can use this feature but not windows where the things needs to be come first as for the windows major users count

I am developing a cross-platform applicatiuon ios/Android/MacOS/Windows. Now Flutter has stable support for Desktop platforms, Firebase Windows support is the only missing piece.

For anyone visiting here please support this as well

Working with emulators creates a heavy strain on my system. But building apps for linux or windows doesn't affect my devices memory.

I'm the founder of a startup and we use Flutter together with Firebase to deliver an experience for mobile and web. We would really like to expand to Windows, but Firebase is a big impediment.

We need to quickly support Firebase for desktop through Dart Flutter

I ran into this when I first used Firebase_Auth and was suprised that it didn't work on Windows / Linux. I test my apps on Liniux for resizing and developing cross platform application and having it work the same on all platforms (like most other features) should be a base requirement for a cross platform solution.

It really takes away value from Flutter having to source or implement separate libraries for desktop each time, rather than using Firebase in a uniform way across the codebase

Its very important to make firebase all features available for windows

macOS works very well already btw. It's just Windows and Linux lagging behind.
Might as well add rasperry pi support to it as well when you are at it please. -

I guess you guys don't know how to use it with desktop, like Windows or Linux, that's why you have comments like this. It's really very easy to use if you know how to work your way around with commands and CLI.
Come on guys, it's 2023, not 1950s that we only have one Language, Assembly and we don't know how to work around anymore. -

We are working on an application targeting mobile & desktop. It is critical for us. Else we need to find other solution.
