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.
