Hi, could you confirm if Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a requirement for sending mobile app messages to an iOS app?

I'm a little confused by the documentation and sample app. In the Overview documentation it says "you must implement the following" part 3 being "Configure mobile app messages alongside FCM..." however there is no FCM configuration in the sample app.

Am I correct in thinking that we only need to follow the FCM configuration as described here if we want to send Mobile Campaign message via FCM, but if we don't want to use FCM we don't have to?

We currently use Firebase in our iOS app only for analytics, what would be the benefit of using FCM as well? Would you recommend this approach or just configuring the Mobile Campaign SDK without FCM?

Best regards

David

  HI David,  you are correct, FCM is not used in the sample app and is not required for your iOS app.  I will check with engineering to see if we have any feedback from customers regarding using FCM vs APNS.
