Do I need this library if I am targeting Android only in LibGDX project?

[hopewise]

As I am about to start my first Firebase project with LibGDX, I went to follow the instructions found on Firebase documentation.

Then, I got stuck as here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52604122/how-to-get-more-details-about-firebase-connect-error?noredirect=1#comment92146898_52604122

After a while, I found this repository, and I wondered why wouldn't using Firebase with LibGDX normally if I am targeting Android only?

Also, how would I get detailed error when using Firebase assistant connect?

You don't have to. I just implemented firebase - realtime database in libgdx for android only. It works well. I just imported official firebase - realtime database android library and implements interfaces in androidlauncher file then everything works well.
