Support of other platforms
I'm just starting a small passkey research and found this flutter plugin. Do you plan to extend the support for the desktop and web platforms?
Hey @rekire,
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, on our roadmap, it's planned to support more platforms as others have requested that as well. Which one would you need, so that we can prioritize that accordingly?
Hey @vincentdelitz,
I have something special in mind therefore I most important would be: Web (since I want to use it as Fallback when the user does not install my app, or for platforms I need to pay 100$ yearly) and Windows.
One more vote to support web platform
web +1
@vincentdelitz Any update on cross-platform support? In particular Web support. Is there a roadmap timeline?
To give an update on the roadmap: Currently, we're working on an end-2-end native Flutter app that also let's you share passkeys with a web-app (non-Flutter). This will hopefully be released within the next 1-2 weeks.
After that, we tackle the web support and Firebase extension. I cannot give a specific date but hope that we can push something in the next weeks (so that that a first version for both will be available this year).

That's awesome @vincentdelitz look forward to testing it out. Thanks!
@rekire @jlm0 @liyingte998 @gsawczuk Support for Flutter web is now published :) Please let me know if you have any questions or other feature requests.
Hi @vincentdelitz, any plans for desktop support ? I wanted to use it on windows.
Hello @sabin26,
Thanks for reaching out! So far we hadn't had it on our roadmap, but we'll be looking into it. I can't provide any specific date yet, but will keep you posted if there's an update.
Hi @vincentdelitz,
is there a big difference between implementing passkey support for iOS and MacOS? If they share some OS-APIs, it would be cool if the package could easily support MacOS as well.

Hey @Jannik-Hm, Thank you for the question. To be honest, we haven't taken a deeper look into macOS yet. From what we know from our experience is that the OS-APIs are quite different (even if they are from the same vendor like Apple). I add this to our backlog to check how much effort macOS support would be. Do you have a particular app or use case that you would need it for?
+1 for desktop support, especially macOS

Hey @vincentdelitz, please excuse the late response. Somehow GitHub didn‘t show me any notification. I don't have any projects currently. It was just a looking into what would be possible if I ever needed it, since I think it is a very interesting technology and definitely the future of authentication.
I really hope, that there are not too many differences between MacOS and iOS, I mean it wouldn't make any sense, but it's still Apple we are talking about 🤷🏼♂️.
I thank you very much for looking into it.
I think a lot of people would be interested in the desktop support to improve the transition to password-less. After all, it's for our own security.
we need Windows and Linux support
