[FR] A desktop implementation of Analytics

[gilgm12]

• Firebase C++ SDK version: 6.11
• Main Firebase Components in concern: Analytics (Auth, Database, etc.)
• Other Firebase Components in use: Auth, Db, Storage (Auth, Database, etc.)
• Platform you are using the C++ SDK on: Windows (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
• Platform you are targeting: Desktop (iOS, Android, and/or desktop)

Any plans for a desktop implementation of analytics/event reporting? If not, is there a reason? (IE rest impl trivial, etc)

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Hi @gilgm12

Thank you for being interested in using Analytics on desktop. Unfortunately we do not have plan to support it in the near future.

To properly support Analytics on desktop, we will also need to implement several critical components for desktop as well, ex. Installation. Otherwise, there is not a lot of advantage over REST implementation.

I'll put this as a feature request for the visibility for now.

Now that installation has been implemented, any chance of Analytics being available here? If not, what are the acceptable workarounds to post events to the firebase console? I've tried a couple of methods, including posting manually to the ganalytics endpoint, but can't seem to get any events through to debugview. (I may be doing something incorrectly)

The goal is to manually track pageviews and other simple events in a firebase desktop application, via rest.
