Great video! Is it possible to send user notifications based off specific user actions? Liks if a user follows them or sends them a message? How would this be done? Thank you!

Please check for topics in firebase push notifications. You can send notification by writing a function on Backend that will trigger push notification on that particular topic, as it’s not possible to trigger a push notification from front end.

Check wether your device token is getting registered with firebase or not when you first install the app.

But most of the developer are not used firebase for push notification they are using .pem file can you please explain what is the purpose of using different methods.

[@swifttutorialsforios]

Yeah, if you are using your own servers then you need to give your server team .pem file. Some of the developers used third parties for push notifications as they are easy to setup and also they are using other features from them.

[@sanamshresthaAI]

Does this works on released app .? Or we have to configure extra?

[@swifttutorialsforios]

If you have one bundle Id for both development and production then no need to reconfigure. But if different bundle identifiers then need to re configure.
