Migrate to Firebase Cloud Messaging

[macdonst]

Google is moving from GCM to FCM and this plugin should follow suit.

https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/android-migrate-fcm

I may end up supporting a 1.x and 2.x stream where the 2.x stream is FCM as it will be awhile before everyone can update to using FCM.

[skyprimer]

Great.! we are following the topic...

[getqd]

Same. Looking forward to integrating FCM into our apps!

Great!! Thanks for this!

FCM makes iOS APNS obsolete since FCM is reliable and free?

I am just getting started with push notifications. Would you advise going ahead and setting up GCM and migrating later, or waiting until FCM is supported?

[GrzegorzWarzecha]

+100!

[ktzanettis]

Anyone know when this issue will be committed?

[jcesarmobile]

When? once it's ready

[macdonst]

@ktzanettis you can always help out by testing the v2.0.x branch or submitting a PR.

[glasset]

I have tested on v2.0.x(07fa81) currently works fine (tested only fcm feature), if something bad happen i will report

[stephan-nordnes-eriksen]

@glasset Great to hear! I would like to try it out and help if possible. Is the setup any different than gcm?

[glasset]

@stephan-nordnes-eriksen yes, same as gcm setup.

[neosekar]

how to install the v2.0.x using cordova command ?

[glasset]

cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push\\#b451b55134f716fcf172ec51d8fcfa2e4e6c32d1

b451b55134f716fcf172ec51d8fcfa2e4e6c32d1 is the last commit on v2.0.x

[neosekar]

If i run this command , i got the error like

error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push\ via git. Either there is a connection problems, or plugin spec is incorrect: Error: git: Command failed with exit code 128 Error output: Cloning into '/tmp/git/1467205453431'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push\/': The requested URL returned error: 400

[neosekar]

It is my mistake i just removed the slash before # sysmbol now it works

[pleivac]

I have installed this as follows cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push.git#v2.0.x --variable SENDER_ID="XXXXXXXXX".

[neosekar]

cordova-plugin-fcm is build failed . it shows, > Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0.

[neosekar]

pushv2.0.x is working in android but in ios it shows invalidRegistration error

[jcesarmobile]

yeah, iOS part isn't implemented yet

[skyprimer]

What is the exact git url for config.xml to test v2.0 via Phonegap Build?

[lukebp]

this commit works for both iOS and Android. Make sure to add your SENDER_ID.
From the command line: cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push#07fa81b7a3a62400915ac70b9a24a802465a6f95 --variable SENDER_ID="XXXXXXX"

Or add this to your config.xml file, then rebuild your ios and android builds: <plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push#07fa81b7a3a62400915ac70b9a24a802465a6f95"> <variable name="SENDER_ID" value="XXXXXXX" /> </plugin>

[neosekar]

Is it implemented for ios ?

[skyprimer]

I've already tried that with sender ID strange but today i got no error on IOS. Android has errors on build..

[pierreNeck]

I have this error with Ionic+crosswalk, with the version @lukebpowell

[stephan-nordnes-eriksen]

@pierreNeck: You probably have a mismatch with the google play services version and the firebase version. If you have google play services v31 you need firebase 9.2.0.

Google play services you can find in your sdk manager. Firebase version you find in your app in build.gradle.

It will probably say something like compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.2.0"

please, don´t +1, github added the reactions so you can +1 with the thumbs up instead of writing a comment

BTW, you can test v.2.0.x branch of the plugin that has FCM support, but it's untested, so if you install it and give feedback will be more helpful that +1s

[ktzanettis]

I have downloaded the latest commit and trying to make my android project to receive notifications using FCM. The FCM registration token is produced but the notification is not sent. Is there any use of the SENDER_ID used with GCM? I noticed this line in the PushPlugin: token = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken(senderID,FCM);

Thank you

[jcesarmobile]

Yes, the SENDER_ID is still used with FCM. Not sure if it changes if you migrate an existing GCM project to be a FCM project, can you check your firebase console?

[telemakhos]

Who's testing the 2.0 branch and what are the thoughts about stability? it'd be great to have some feedback.. =)

[wparad]

I've been using this for GCM on android and ios (sending through AWS). The documentation on send GCM is really bad, so it was pretty confusing. If you want I can share some quirks. I have it working for the most part. The biggest problem is that if I don't init and register the plugin early enough, then I don't receive coldstart or background notifications on android (unconfirmed on ios).

Edit: THe documentation, isn't the best concerning what the setup should for the plugin to even configure it for both ios and android to both use GCM, that was a little confusing.

[edtiley]

My wasn't that responsive!

Never mind, I won't ask anything again

[dannywillems]

Any new about the migration? I don't see any new commits on branch v2.0.x or FCM.

[telemakhos]

@dannywillems looks like the development has stalled.. In our case we've switched to this other FCM plugin which is gaining momentum now and works for us...

[dannywillems]

@Telemakhos Thanks for your comment. We hesitated to migrate to this plugin.

[jcesarmobile]

I was asked by mail about the FCM status, so I'm answering here too mostly the same:

I don't use FCM on any real project, so it's hard for me to find real issues while using it. Last time I worked on it, I was able to receive push from FCM on both iOS and Android.

People is not opening issues about v2.0.x branch, so that can mean that it has no issues or people is not using it. I don't think v2.0.x is perfect and it has probably issues, but if I don't see the issues I can't fix them. So, if it has issues but they are not reported it's because people is not using it.

What can you do? Test v.2.0.x and report issues so we can fix them If you don't want to test it, you can switch to another plugin like the one mentioned on previous messages, but at least if you find issues on it, report them.

[dannywillems]

@jcesarmobile Thanks for your answer!

[dannywillems]

@jcesarmobile Do you think it's possible to rebase v.2.0.x branch with the master branch? I think it would help people to know FCM is WIP and get all fixes since June. It's a great job, thanks.

[dannywillems]

@jcesarmobile It seems it doesn't work for iOS for me. I created a project in the firebase console and add an Android and iOS application. I downloaded GoogleService-Info.plist and put it in the root project (in XCode). No error appears in XCode, no error from Google response but no notification appears on iOS.

For Android it's working, even if I didn't add google-services.json in the Android project.
