QUESTION: Discontinued Legacy Firebase Cloud Messaging APIs and SDKs #853

Closed brassier closed 5 months ago

Please excuse my ignorance. I was made aware that Google is discontinuing their legacy Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs on June 20, 2024. I was able to take their docs and find that our back-end needs to change for how we are SENDING messages. I'm not sure how to assess if there are any impacts on the front-end for RECEIVING messages.

Can someone explain how I'd go about assessing if this change would impact apps that use this firebasex plugin? The discontinuation message is below, for reference.

The decommissioning of the legacy APIs has no effect on this plugin: This plugin is a thin(ish) wrapper around the native Firebase SDK components. FCM messages are sent by the Firebase Cloud servers to the device and received/processed by the FCM SDK component. While this plugin pins fairly recent versions of Firebase SDK components, it's always possible to override this to include the very latest Firebase SDK component versions if so desired. However this should not be necessary as I'm not aware of any breaking changes to the Firebase FCM SDK component.

Thank you for confirming that, @dpa99c !
