Firebase Mac development: Can I use firebase with cocoa app? - objective-c

I am developing a mac app with objective-c. I need a database service that is easy to use. I'm considering firebase but I found it doesn't provide any documentation for desktop app. :( I wonder whether I can use its ios documentation for mac app? Or is there any other similar database service that is easy to use support mac app?
Thanks in advance!

What Is The Difference Between A Native App & A Hybrid App Development?

Whenever one talks about Native vs Hybrid apps, the first thing that comes to mind is the basic conceptual difference between the two. So help me to know Basic diffrence for this.
Native APP
Native apps are developed for a particular platform. Like android apps are native apps. When it comes to user experience, they are the fastest and most reliable.
Hybrid APP
Hybrid apps are developed for both native and web applications. They can also use cross-compatible web technologies. Hybrid apps are typically easier and faster to develop than native apps.

Android/IOS Library from ReactNative App parts regarding bluetooth

me and my team have developed a Bluetooth access control app using react native. The way it works is that our app connects to a in house hardware solution using Bluetooth 4.0+, when connected does a series of key authentifications using standard cryptography patterns.
The cryptography protocols run in a ReactNative javascript environment, and the Bluetooth connection, data transfer and service notifications are done using the react-native-ble-manager plugin. Authentification is done using the Bluetooth notification data received from the ble-manager plugin and the crypto javascript class.
At this moment, we have a need to implement this Bluetooth access control protocol in client applications. We would need to make a library, for both iOS and Android.
The question that I want to ask is, do we need to implement the whole app logic in native(java, swift) for both Android and iOS, or is there a solution to implement it as a ReactNative module inside native Apps.
We know that you can implement part of a native App in ReactNative, but for this specific problem how complicated it would be, and how good of a solution would it be?

About apis, on which technology I have to made apis if I am developing application in react native?

I am developing one application in react native I am new to it. So curious to know that on which platform api should be build?
Thanks
Depending on your application, there may no reason for API at all.
If you need to store data on the server then API may be build in any technology you feel comfortable with. As far as the React Native goes, it supports many ways to connect to API, including both REST and GraphQL.

Facebook chat API/XMPP X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM in WinRT

Please read my question first before voting it off-topic considering questions asking us to recommend or find a tool/library.
I am creating a WinRT app for only Facebook chat. I checked the developer site, I am recommended to use Facebook Chat via the Jabber/XMPP service. I tried to find that feature in Facebook C# SDK but it's not available in it.
I searched for XMPP library and found this. It's ASP.NET project though, I decided to port it for WinRT, but I read the latest comment in that blog post. It's telling this is also no longer working.
So anyone there know how to use chat API using WinRT supported XMPP library ? If library is not availble then can any one guide for any tutorial, I can't find relevant tutorial.
Those who think, chat/messenger is not available programmatically, please see IM+ app in Windows Store.
From the Facebook .NET SDK FAQ - http://facebooksdk.net/docs/faq/
Does Facebook SDK for .NET support Facebook Chat?
Facebook SDK for .NET doesn't support the Facebook chat (nor do we
have any plans to support it in the future). Facebook chat is based on
the xmpp protocol thus any existing XMPP
.NET libraries would work
with Facebook Chat.
Yeah, finally I found WinRT supported XMPP library as well as full fledged chat app. Kudos to developers.
Is there any free XMPP library which Supports WinRT?
