Hi guys, how can we use Firebase in compose-desktop?

[Stefan Oltmann]

I believe there is only a Firebase SDK for Android and iOS.

At least I wasn't able to get Crashlytics with that Android lib on JVM.

If you look for that check out Sentry.io - they have a dedicated Java SDK.

Thank you for your information @Stefan Oltmann, very helpful for my case. 🙌

[Stefan Oltmann]

You are welcome. 🙂

I think it's also API so, there can be some workaround. As long as you can catch the exception and crash in global scope.

There's a server key and I think you can use it for database, messaging at leat.

1. Firebase REST docs: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/firebase-management/rest
2. Database: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/database
3. Messaging: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest

Thanks for the update. 🙂

I still prefer Sentry. They are the best.

Yes, but Firebase is free though.

Firebase Crashlytics does not work for compose-desktop. It's only iOS, Android, Web, Flutter and Unity.

You can self-host Sentry for free or use their free tier.
