🐛 [firebase_core] Firebase Core 2.24.2 can be built on Windows, but the executable file of the app may not start.

[UnluckyY1]

Bug report

After adding firebase_core to a new project and attempting to run the app on Windows, I encountered some warnings. The app was built successfully, but contrary to my expectation, the executable (exe) file did not launch, and the app window did not appear.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new Flutter project that supports 3 platforms: Android, iOS, and Windows.
2. Execute the command flutter pub add firebase_core.
3. Run the project using the command flutter run.

Expected behavior

While firebase_core explicitly indicates Windows support on pub.dev, there is currently no documentation available for it. It remains unclear whether Windows is indeed supported. Moreover, while I don't necessarily plan to integrate Firebase with my Windows app, I expect to run my app on Windows without encountering any issues.

Hi @UnluckyY1, if you remove the firebase_core plugin, are you able to run the app properly? Typically, once the app is built, the plugin doesn't have any control over anything else. I also tried on my windows laptop and the app built and opened just fine.

[UnluckyY1]

HI @danagbemava-nc sorry for the late response i can confirm that removing firebase_core plugin will resolve issue but puting it back will result the same issue

[danagbemava-nc]

@UnluckyY1, can we get the full output of flutter run -v? The output may be huge so kindly put it into a .txt file and attach it here.

Thank you
