Make AngularFire an offcially supported library
The AngularFire library gets updated really slow so we miss out on some of the latest features. There are lots of issues that doesn't get solved and the documentation is very lacking. They are both Google products and make an awesome combination but if the library does not get enough support/resources we're forced to migrate to plain javascript firebase. Please make it an official library or something so more resources are assigned to AngularFire.

Angular and Firebase are both official Google products. Why is AngularFire not? It seriously hinders development when the bridge between these two products is not maintained

Last commit on main is from Nov 26, 2025 and last stable Release is from Jun 12, 2025

Its really import to keep angular and angular/fire versions in sync

Is anything happening on this front? Not being able to move to angular 21 is quite a serious impediment, the consequences are getting worse by the day. Or does the google firebase team intend to drop angular support altogether?

We use firebase because of angular fire

Last angular releases were not followed by an angular/fire release, we had to wait for months to upgrade.

Yes

This is blocking us from going to Angular 21 for months now. Something has to happen

Angular and Firebase go hand in hand. AngularFire should remain in sync with Angular releases.

Nope nothing changed

The new FirebaseUI for Angular now has a direct dependency on AngularFire, does it make it an officially support lib now?

This would be very important

Our stack is Anguar + Firebase. The integration and "sync" between both is key for us.
Just having all the versions / compatibility in sync is becoming more and more complex. -

Trying to build a modern Angular Firebase application is super confusing because of the lack of consistant documentation. I'm including both the Firebase documentation which frequently has outdated information and gets confusing to identify the parts that are web vs server side. The multiple layers of shims between Angular and Firebase (AngularFire, rxFire, the JS SDK lacking complete types) make it really confusing to know what is going on without having to dig through the implementations. Which are hard to find.

It was just announced at Google I/O (by Mark Techson) that AngularFire was on the path to General Availability. I think we can say this issue is "planned".

@Lars is that even possible?

Lars Rye Jeppesen commented
Maybe now with signals and zoneless, we should just move to use the official firebase sdk?
