Migrate off Instance ID SDK

[Cyral]

The current release crashes on Android: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceId"

Cloud Messaging 22.0.0 removed the deprecated Firebase Instance ID SDK, so that dependency needs to be added back for it to work (add a direct dependency on the firebase-iid library to your build.gradle file)

In the longer term this package should remove the instance ID code and migrate to the new token based API.

See: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#update_-_april_02_2019

I ran into this as well; one clarification however. The latest release of @capacitor-community/fcm (2.0.1) does remove the dependencies to Firebase Instance ID. However @capacitor/push-notifications does not. This plugin hard specifies firebase-messaging:22.0.0 in its build.gradle. In contrast @capacitor/push-notifications uses the firebaseMessagingVersion as specified in variables.gradle (with a default of 21.0.1).

If you leave everything as default (fcm uses 22 and push-notifications uses 21) you will get the run time error mentioned (full trace below).

Given that this plugin seems to be intended to always be used with @capacitor/push-notifications (as seen via its example code) this plugin should respect the firebaseMessagingVersion token and also default to 21.0.1 to match @capacitor/push-notifications.

Provided a pr to respect the firebaseMessagingVersion as in @capacitor/push-notifications. Then version can be set to 21.0.1 (by default) for all fcm references. I notice that the sample app in @capacitor-community/fcm does not use default @capacitor/push-notifications but rather github:stewones/capacitor-push-notifications. This appears to be an updated version of the @capacitor/push-notifications plugin to use firebase messaging 22 but it does not appear to be a standard fork from the base project. Thus I dont actually know what the differences are so do not recommend using it.

@bdirito thanks for the PR I'll test soon.

My capacitor-notification fork is just a workaround while they don't approve a PR which will update to the most recent version of firebase.

But your solution makes more sense.

@bdirito 's PR has been released. check out latest version v2.0.2
