🐛 [firebase_core] No implementation found for method Firebase#initializeCore on channel plugins.flutter.io/firebase_core

[matheus-kirchesch-old]

Bug report

Description

The app won't work when building for Windows, it works fine for Android and the Web

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Flutter app
2. Add Firebase to the app following the Firebase guid for Flutter ( Choose Android, Web and Windows )
3. Initialize Firebase on the app entry point before calling runApp
4. Now build for Web and Android to test if it is working
5. If step 4 is working fine build for Windows, you will get the problem on your console and the app will be just a white screen

Expected behavior

Well the app should just build haha

Sample project

I think its faster to just use the VS Code extension to create a new project

---

Additional context

• I have used VS Code to create the Flutter project
• I have used the fluterfire cli to add firebase to the app

Hi! Windows isn't supported here, you need to add firebase_core_desktop first to get it supported. Please check this blog for more details on how to add it.

[matheus-kirchesch-old]

@pr-Mais but are there plans for Windows to be supported? I mean, the firebase cli now includes Windows in the initialize list

[pr-Mais]

Officially no, but Invertase is sponsoring the FlutterFire Desktop project which add Windows and Linux support using the same platform interface of FlutterFire, this is the Roadmap, check this discussion.
