Usage
import { FCM } from '@capacitor-community/fcm';
import { PushNotifications } from '@capacitor/push-notifications';
// external required step
// register for push
await PushNotifications.requestPermissions();
await PushNotifications.register();
// now you can subscribe to a specific topic
FCM.subscribeTo({ topic: 'test' })
.then(r => alert(`subscribed to topic`))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
// Unsubscribe from a specific topic
FCM.unsubscribeFrom({ topic: 'test' })
.then(() => alert(`unsubscribed from topic`))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
// Get FCM token instead of the APN one returned by Capacitor
FCM.getToken()
.then(r => alert(`Token ${r.token}`))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
// Delete the old FCM token and get a new one
FCM.refreshToken()
.then(r => alert(`Token ${r.token}`))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
// Remove FCM instance
FCM.deleteInstance()
.then(() => alert(`Token deleted`))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
// Enable the auto initialization of the library
FCM.setAutoInit({ enabled: true }).then(() => alert(`Auto init enabled`));
// Check the auto initialization status
FCM.isAutoInitEnabled().then(r => {
console.log('Auto init is ' + (r.enabled ? 'enabled' : 'disabled'));
});
Add Google config files
Navigate to the project settings page for your app on Firebase.
iOS
Download the GoogleService-Info.plist
file. In Xcode right-click on the yellow folder named "App" and select the Add files to "App"
.
Tip: if you drag and drop your file to this location, Xcode may not be able to find it.
Android
Download the google-services.json
file and copy it to android/app/
directory of your capacitor project.
Certificate
- apple
- create an app identifier (apple site)
- add push notifications
- add signing request (https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/devbfa00fef7)
- generate an APN key and then note down the ID displayed. also download the p8 file (https://fluffy.es/p8-push-notification/)
- create an app identifier (apple site)
- firebase
- add the downloaded p8 file to firebase settings with noted key ID and the account team ID
iOS setup
- Install homebrew (once)
brew install cocoapods
(once a time)ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
cd my-cap-app
mkdir www && touch www/index.html
npx cap add ios
npm install --save @capacitor-community/fcm
npx cap sync ios
(always do sync after a plugin install)npx cap open ios
- sign your app at xcode (general tab)
- enable remote notification capabilities
- add
GoogleService-Info.plist
to the app folder in xcode
// (optional) turn off `swizzling` in the `info.plist`
<key>FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled</key>
<string>NO</string>
Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.
Prevent auto initialization
If you need to implement opt-in behavior, you can disable the auto initialization of the library by following the Firebase docs.
Android setup
ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
cd my-cap-app
mkdir www && touch www/index.html
npx cap add android
npm install --save @capacitor-community/fcm
npx cap sync android
(always do sync after a plugin install)npx cap open android
- add
google-services.json
to yourandroid/app
folder
Now you should be set to go. Try to run your client using ionic cap run android --livereload
.
Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.
