I was wanting to port firebase’s sdk to defold but from looking at
It seems native extensions can’t be written in swift or kotlin, and I was wondering when (if ever) that might be changed.
Why would you need Swift or Kotlin? Firebase exist both as a pure C++ lib and as a Java+Objective C lib.
Which parts of Firebase do you plan to use?

sorry! I was using haxe for a bit before coming over here does the pure C++ work on both android and ios though?
and for what I was planning to use, fcm for notifications, remote config, and some anylitics if possible.
Yes, ofcourse: Add Firebase to your C++ project | Firebase for C++
Defold has built in support for local and remote notifications: iOS and Android push notifications in Defold
We are currently using Google Cloud Messaging but we plan to migrate to Firebase before GCM gets deprecated.
I started working on a Firebase extension for Analytics a while back. It’s working properly on Android but needs more work on iOS. I had to pause continued development since more pressing matters came up.
You can find the extension here: GitHub - defold/extension-firebase: Firebase is Google's mobile platform that helps you quickly develop high-quality apps and grow your business. This repository contains the core components required by the various products included in Firebase. It is not intended for use on its own

thanks for the info and links! I think that’ll work for me. If I come across something I have to add to the extension are pr’s welcomed?
