Hey guys,

The app i’m currently working on is aimed primarily at android/iOS devices, but I would like it to support desktop also for those without access to smartphones.

Will Vplay support firebase on desktop in the future, or is there a workaround I could use for this?

Thanks

Hi Edward,

our main focus for Felgo Plugins lies on the mobile platforms – though in case of Firebase, we agree that a Desktop integration would be a cool addition. We do not have Firebase for Desktop planned in the near future though. A possible workaround would be to add the logic for working with the Web APIs of Firebase in addition to your existing Firebase Plugin code (to create a desktop fallback).

To execute different code on Desktop, you can check the system.desktopPlatform context property:

if (system.desktopPlatform) {
  // desktop ... use custom firebase code with Web APIs
}
else {
 // mobiles ... use Felgo Plugins
}

Best,
Günther
