Integration with Firebase for Android PR was lost?

@qwwdfsad I can see Integration with Firebase for Android #426 PR was accepted

But it was not added to develop ?

FirebaseFirestore integration was added, but FirebaseDatabase integration was left out?

kotlinx-coroutines-firebase-android

As it was explained by @SUPERCILEX, there wasn't any "stream of values" primitive in coroutines at that moment and that Tasks API is used for all new Firebase/Play Services APIs that don't continuously update values, thus only part related to tasks was merged.

Currently, with the Flow, it is possible to integrate with Firebase even better, though maybe it's worth to ask Firebase folks to do so

[SUPERCILEX]

Correct, and I don't believe JetBrains should be the one to maintain integrations with specific libraries. The play-tasks API makes sense because it's a general purpose async API used across dozens of libraries.

PS: Firestore flow APIs are already gaining momentum from the community and I would assume the RTDB will follow: firebase/firebase-android-sdk#1251, firebase/firebase-android-sdk#1252.
