Windows/macOS Support

[adupo]

React Native Firebase should support React Native Windows and React Native macOS so that apps built with React Native Firebase can work across all react native platforms.

Are there any plans to support these platforms?

Probably not; especially since it's low priority and would really a lot of work.
PRs are welcome, however :)

Windows unlikely. I believe catalyst works, we have a record of merging things there: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues?q=is%3Aissue+catalyst+is%3Aclosed

This will definitely be community driven though - I don't believe anyone else is targeting these platforms at the moment and it is troublesome to support them since react-native core is on record as not wanting platforms other than android and ios in core. For cross-platform development beyond android and ios I must regretfully refer you to Flutter, where you may find the FlutterFire package of interest

For context we also run the show over at FlutterFire so you can expect the same level of quality.

If you're working on a new project and being on as many platforms as possible is critical to your project then Flutter is the better choice, you get Web, Android, iOS, MacOS, Linux & Windows out the box - first-party supported. FlutterFire supports Android, iOS, MacOS, Web on quite a few of the main packages, and we're actively expanding the platform support.

React Native is still great but expanding beyond Android & iOS then you have to rely on platform support implemented by third-parties.
