Important: If you have apps with the push service type set to FCM, you must update to the latest Firebase Cloud Messaging API (v1) before June 20th, 2024.

What is happening?

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a push messaging service type from Google that you can configure for your mobile applications to send messages from Acoustic Campaign.

Google announced that the legacy Google API key authentication for FCM will be removed starting June 20th, 2024.

To support the new FCM Firebase Cloud Messaging API (V1), Acoustic Campaign has provided a new user interface where you can update the app key for your FCM apps.

What do I need to do?

Update your apps with FCM push service type to the latest Firebase Cloud Messaging API (v1):

1. Generate a new account key from the Firebase console for your app's project. To generate your app's account key from the Firebase console, go to Project settings > Service Accounts tab and click Generate new private key. The new key is generated and downloaded as a JSON file. Save the downloaded file.
2. Go to Mobile > Developer resources > Apps.
3. Edit your app and Change the Type of authentication to V1.
4. Upload the generated JSON file containing the service account authentication key. 
5. Add the Project ID of the Firebase project for your app from the Firebase console. You can get the Project ID from the Project settings > General tab.
