Current problem

I am not sure but I think there is a very important feature missing. What I am trying to do is addCollectionSnapshotListener on collectionGroup query.
Such a thing can be done with javascript firebase library like this:
const resources = query(collectionGroup(getFirestore(), 'resources'));
onSnapshot(resources, (querySnapshot) => {
querySnapshot.forEach((doc) => {
console.log(doc.data());
});
});

Preferred solution

Since there already are getCollection, addCollectionSnapshotListener and getCollectionGroup functions in API, I would suggest addCollectionGroupSnapshotListener function is added.

I made a quick glance at addCollectionSnapshotListener web code and I think whole function can be copied and only change that is needed is on line 212 where 'collecion' should be changed to 'collectionGroup'.

Time files... Well, I am not familiar with capacitor plugins, but I can give it a try.
