[FR]: Performance support on macOS

[ivanmoskalev]

Description

1. Ability to use Firebase Performance on macOS, logging custom and predefined performance metrics.
2. Currently, Firebase Performance is not available on macOS.
3. Audit what prevents its usage (I suspect it's something to do with automatically collected metrics, such as screen render performance, depending on UIKit)

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Is there any way this can be helped by community effort? I really don't want to use Sentry or some other tool for that.

Update for fellas from Sentry who put reactions: Sentry is amazing, I just don't want to introduce another external dependency / tool.

Hi! I wonder if anything can be done here? As a macOS desktop developer, I need this feature again, and I would be glad to contribute.

I have managed to get a fork up and running, and there were surprisingly little code changes. But some decisions still need to be discussed and aligned with Google Team. How to open a proper pull request or a proposal?

Update: although sending the events works and the endpoints return successful HTTP status codes, the statistics don’t appear in the Performance tab in my project. Maybe they are rejected by platform? I will investigate further.

@rizafran sorry to tag you if it’s incorrect, but could you please guide me as to how to properly contribute on this?
