Android 12 background notification led to crash (PendingIntent)

"@nativescript/firebase": "^11.1.3"

compileSdkVersion 31 targetSdkVersion 31

Crash stacktrace:

An uncaught Exception occurred on "Firebase-MyFirebaseMessagingService" thread. com.uboro.mobile: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent. Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

The bug in the firebase was fixed in https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/3115 But the current version of nativescript plugin uses the old version of firebase sdk

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0"

Any updates on this? I am also experience a lot of crashes.

@dnepromell @hsluis Hello, Following the firebase documentation indicates this: Caution: This is a breaking change for apps that use FCM and the deprecated Firebase Instance ID API to manage registration tokens. We strongly recommend [migrating to FCM's token APIs](https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/manage-installations#fid-iid). If you're unable to migrate to the replacement APIs, add a direct dependency on the firebase-iid library to your build.gradle file.

adding this fixes the error: implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:21.1.0"

@Ederagp thanks for your help. Adding this library fixes the crash issue. But I noticed after it there are no push notifications.

So I also changed "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0" to "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.1.0"

And now all works perfectly on Android 12 and the versions below.

Thanks @dnepromell.

I added these lines to my app.gradle file and now my push notifications work:

dependencies {
  implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:21.1.0"
  implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:22.0.0"
  // ...
}

android {
  compileSdkVersion 31
  defaultConfig {
    targetSdkVersion 31
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

I changed the version of firebase-messaging to 22.0.0 because v. 21.1.0 had a bug where tapping a notification would not launch the app.

  // ...
}

I changed the version of firebase-messaging to 22.0.0 because v. 21.1.0 had a bug where tapping a notification would not launch the app.

after this change android 12 is working fine but old version not getting notification !!!

@yashpyraj which Android versions are you getting issues on? This seems to be working on Android 10,11,12 for me
