Unsupported operation: Platform._operatingSystem
Solution 1
No, the FlutterFire group of plugins is in no way supported on Flutter Web. They rely on platform-specific APIs and are currently only implemented for Android and iOS.
Update May 2021: As pointed out by Moslem Deris, FlutterFire is now officially supported on the web: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/installation/web/
Solution 2
I reopen this issue to give a more appropriate answer which is now available in native in flutter:
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.iOS || defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.android) {
// Some android/ios specific code
}
else if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.linux || defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.macOS || defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.windows) {
// Some desktop specific code there
}
else {
// Some web specific code there
}
Solution 3
You can use a try-catch
block to prevent the exception from breaking the flow:
bool kisweb;
try{
if(Platform.isAndroid||Platform.isIOS) {
kisweb=false;
} else {
kisweb=true;
}
} catch(e){
kisweb=true;
}

I have spent last 4 hours researching this issue. All that was already mentioned is correct. However, I'm so happy I found a working solution for web, too: universal_io package.
Just remember not to use the 1.0.1 version cause v1.0.1 and other versions don't detect iOS correctly. I was able to go away with it by just downgrading to 0.2.0 version. By the time you read this post it may have been fixed, check out the issue status here: https://github.com/dint-dev/universal_io/issues/8
IMPLEMENTATION (super simple)
import 'package:universal_io/io.dart';
then just use Platform.operatingSystem
e.g.
print('OS: ${Platform.operatingSystem}');

For me, shifting to dev channel worked using
flutter channel dev
Web support is now available for most of the firebase plugins.

My flutter code isn't running on web.
I found that "bool kisweb" can be used to detect the platform. But my code is failing at "FirebaseAuth.instance". Does this mean I can't use Firebaseauth on web as it might be depending on dart:io?

ArtiomLK over 4 yearsYou'll have to migrate to the firebase web library. Using Firebase in Flutter Web.

MappaM about 3 yearsThis is a bit dangerous, as kisweb is a kind of well-known keyword to detect if the current platform is web, which your code is not doing. Indeed, Platform.isAndroid is true on mobile browsers. See api.flutter.dev/flutter/foundation/kIsWeb-constant.html

Moslem Deris almost 3 yearsUpdate: Actually now you can use FlutterFire plugins even on web according to official docs: firebase.flutter.dev/docs/installation/web
