Qt Support for Firebase

[Femi Matthew]

The C++ SDK for firebase appears to be limited in comparison to the Android and iOS SDKs. I intend using Qt for cross platform mobile development, does firebase provide a clear cut solution to using it with Qt?
From my observation it appears the REST API has been discontinued because I can't see anything that speaks about it in the new documentation ( correct me if am wrong).

Hey,

At this time we have no plans for Qt support. We are, however, continuing to work on improving the depth and breadth of our C++ SDK. Is there a particular feature of iOS or Android that you are interested in that is currently not being exposed by our C++ SDK?

Our REST SDK for Firebase Realtime Database is still available on our new site here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/start

Does this mean I can't use firebase for file storage in Qt apps. Since the REST API only provides real time database support. Since this is the primary feature am after.
Can the C++ SDK be tweaked in any way for Qt Apps?

Which platforms are you intending to target with Qt? If its just iOS and Google Play, then you can try creating your own wrappers over our iOS and Android SDKs.

Femi, how do you need to modify the C++ SDK?  Is there some aspect of the interface that doesn't meet your needs?

If it's a case of platform support, as Salman points out, you could implement C++ libraries for the interfaces we already provide for the features you require for your target platforms using the REST API.
