Update Firebase Settings

How to update Firebase settings to continue using push notifications?

Due to recent updates in the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs, the Legacy FCM API will soon be deprecated, which may lead to increased errors when sending push notifications. To ensure push notifications continue to function seamlessly, follow these steps to migrate to the new HTTP v1 API.

Step 1: Log in to Your AppMySite Account

• Go to AppMySite and log in using your credentials.

• From your account dashboard, select the app for which you want to update the push notification settings.

Step 2: Navigate to the Notifications Section

• Once you have selected the app, go to the Notifications section on the app dashboard.

• Click on Build Settings to access the configuration options for push notifications.

Step 3: Update Your Firebase Service Account

• In the Build Settings, locate the Google Firebase Service Account field.

• Upload the new Private Key (Google Firebase Service Account JSON file) to migrate to the HTTP v1 API.

Step 4: Obtain Your Firebase Service Account Private Key

To get the required JSON file, follow these steps:

• Log in to your Google Firebase account.

• Select the relevant Project.

• In the project overview, choose your app.

• Navigate to Project Settings.

• Click on the Service Accounts tab.

• Select Generate New Private Key to create a new JSON file.

• Download the generated JSON file to your computer.

Step 5: Upload the JSON File in Your AppMySite Account

• Go back to your AppMySite dashboard.

• In the Build Settings, upload the downloaded Firebase Private Key (JSON file) in the designated field.

• Save the changes.
