Summary

On June 20, 2024, Google will discontinue the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Legacy API, transitioning to the FCM V1 API for Android push notifications, which will impact notifications sent through Expo Push Notifications, although iOS notifications will remain unaffected. In early March, Expo will announce updates that allow sending Android notifications via the FCM V1 API on an opt-in basis, requiring a few re-authentication steps for the new API, with detailed guidance provided during the launch. Expo encourages users to reach out on Discord for support and offers resources, including a Supabase video tutorial, to help users unfamiliar with Expo push notifications understand the setup process, which simplifies the handling of device information and communication with both FCM and Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). Expo's approach allows for consistent handling of Android and iOS notifications, streamlining both front-end and back-end processes, and provides documentation for setting up, obtaining credentials, and testing push notifications, making it easy to enhance user interaction with applications.
