Understanding Firebase Cloud Messaging on iOS - Firecasts

Read the Firebase Cloud Messaging, on iOS documentation: goo.gl/0dBp4n
So maybe you know by now that Firebase Cloud Messaging can route messages through APNs to talk to your iOS devices. But do you know how it does this? Find out how, along with a brief discussion about FCM method swizzling, and why you might want to talk to the FCM service directly, in this episode of Firecasts.

Update your documentation

I'm in FCM APN hell. I've checked and rechecked everything so many times. The Android piece was easy but this interface is a real pita. I wish there was a way to trap the communication breakdown, it would be much easier to debug.

1:46 Two things needed to send a notification request through FCM
3:11 The work our device had to do
5:29 A section in Firebase documents: explicitly connect to FCM to receive notifications directly through FCM service
5:45 There are some restrictions when not use APNs

[@frankellyguzman4297]

thanks for this

[@himabinduchowdary5016]

This was a wonderful explaination! Thanks !

[@Firebase]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xyzoooo401]

thanks for the very precise video, gcm/fcm and push messages on iOS make so much more sense sense now.

[@Firebase]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marcusgallegos8384]

Did not find this helpful :/

[@ethansdad3d]

What about sandbox vs production tokens? Is that handled automatically?

[@ДмитроЯковлєв-ч6ф]

How to set several likes ? Because one like is too poor(

[@jamesjarrett1596]

I've been following the documentation but I keep getting an error that says my AppDelegate does not conform tot he FIRMessagingDelegate

[@jordancech9918]

Sounds like you're missing a method that is required by the FIRMessagingDelegate Protocol

[@HanisaMohamed]

pod install the firebase messaging cocoapod and it should work. I had the same error

[@musicchill50]

Is it possible to message iOS Safari users with this method using a JavaScript web app?

[@musicchill50]

I see it is not possible because iOS Safari doesn't yet support push notifications, what should i do?

[@srstudios6374]

any updates on the "mutable-content" issue?

[@gregcounts4021]

Based on this explanation if I'm able to retrieve the FCM token on an iPhone then the APN certificate I downloaded to the Firebase console must be valid, right?

[@1002CK]

Any chance Tod can touch and explain use case for both separate topic, 1) cloud function, 2) security rule #AskFirebase

[@computerminds5967]

Good over view. what about specifics on exactly what certificates go where.

[@ar1467]

Same APNs for 2 different FCM and Apps, Can it?

[@dhavalnena7386]

How easily you explain everything!! Hats off!

[@default2live241]

What is the point of connecting through FCM? Why can't I just connect my server straight to APNS servers when sending push notifications?

[@default2live241]

Thanks! Just integrated

[@amanchoudhary4405]

Do I need to send APNs token to Firebase??

[@ing3888]

Nice, video as always. Are you guys thinking about maybe making a video covering Ionic 2?

[@mohanr7574]

your accent very good, thanks.

[@rammalvarez2664]

Super useful, thank you!

[@anthonywarner1518]

How does the FCM token get to the server?

[@leaf_from_tree]

[@dhavalnena7386]

You explained everything so nicely! Thank you
