Flutterfire cli not showing windows and linux as an option for platform to support

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the Flutterfire CLI does not directly provide options for generating projects specifically for Windows or Linux platforms. Flutterfire primarily focuses on providing Flutter plugins and libraries for Firebase integration on mobile platforms like Android and iOS.

However, Flutter itself supports building applications for various platforms, including Android, iOS, web, desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), and more. To develop Flutter applications specifically for Windows and Linux, you can use Flutter's native platform-specific support.

To create a Flutter project for Windows or Linux, follow these steps:

1. Install Flutter:

   • Download and install the Flutter SDK from the official Flutter website (https://flutter.dev).
   • Set up the necessary environment variables for Flutter.

2. Create a New Flutter Project:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt.
   • Run the following command to create a new Flutter project:

     bashCopy code
     flutter create my_project
     
     

     Replace my_project with your desired project name.

3. Configure for Windows and Linux:

   • Inside the newly created Flutter project, locate the pubspec.yaml file.
   • Open the file and add the necessary dependencies for Windows and Linux platform support.
   • For example, to enable Windows support, add the flutter_windows dependency:

     yamlCopy code
     dependencies:
     
       flutter:
     
         sdk: flutter
     
       flutter_windows:
     
         sdk: flutter
     
     

4. Update Dependencies:

   • In the terminal or command prompt, navigate to the project directory.
   • Run the following command to fetch and update the project dependencies:

     bashCopy code
     flutter pub get
     
     

5. Build and Run the Project:

   • Use the flutter run command to build and run the Flutter application on Windows or Linux.
   • Specify the desired target platform using the -d flag. For example:

     bashCopy code
     flutter run -d windows
     
     

     or

     bashCopy code
     flutter run -d linux
     
     

By following these steps, you can create a Flutter project and configure it for building and running on Windows and Linux platforms. Keep in mind that Windows and Linux support in Flutter is still evolving, so it's recommended to check for the latest updates and documentation from the Flutter community to ensure compatibility with the target platforms.
