Firebase provides official beta support for macOS, Catalyst, and tvOS. visionOS and watchOS are community supported. Thanks to community contributions for many of the multi-platform PRs.
At this time, most Firebase products are available across Apple platforms. There are still a few gaps, especially on visionOS and watchOS. For details about the current support matrix, see this chart in the Firebase documentation.
Where supported, visionOS works as expected with the exception of Firestore via Swift Package Manager where it is required to use the source distribution.
