What

On December 5th, 2023, you may have received an email that begins as follows....

We’re writing to remind you that starting June 20, 2024  the legacy Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs will be discontinued.

What do you need to know?

On June 20, 2024,  we’re reducing the number of Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) legacy register APIs and legacy send APIs that provide similar functionality. This step will allow us to provide you with a more consistent experience and align with Google security standards to improve security, reliability and performance.

Because of these API decommissions, some already-deprecated SDKs and features will stop working after June 20, 2024.

Please consult the tables below to find which Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs and corresponding services/SDKs/features will be discontinued and replaced with new alternatives.
