Time to Upgrade from GCM to FCM

In 2016, we introduced Firebase Cloud messaging as the next evolution of Google Cloud Messaging. It includes a host of new features such as an intuitive notifications interface in the Firebase console, better reporting, and native integrations with other Firebase products. We’re excited to devote more time and attention to improving FCM, which is why the GCM server and client APIs have been deprecated and will be removed as soon as April 11th, 2019 — meaning you will need to upgrade to FCM within a year. Of course, we recommend you upgrade sooner rather than later. A step-by-step migration guide is linked from the post.
