GCM to FCM migration. New GCM token past April 11, 2019

[pete...@pushpay.com]

https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/faq

It was mentioned that Note that client SDKs and GCM tokens will continue to work indefinitely.

It is clear that as long as the server endpoint has been upgraded to FCM, existing Android apps running GCM SDK with existing GCM token will continue to work indefinitely.

However can new installs of existing app still generate new GCM tokens past April 11, 2019?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Yes, existing apps will still generate GCM tokens past April 11, but it's important to encourage users to update because some time in the future, that mechanism may be shut off.

Hi Jen,

Really appreciate your response. So previously based on the statement "Note that client SDKs and GCM tokens will continue to work indefinitely", we assumed that new token will also continue to be generated indefinitely for our existing apps on the Google Play store.

Are you able to provide some more clarity around the timing for generating new GCM token potentially being shut off in the future? Specifically: are you able to communicate any future date or time period that this might happen or, will there be public communication from Google ahead of it actually being shut off? 

The reason why this is important for us is that we specialise in creating white labelled apps and we currently have thousands of older apps for our customers that are using GCM for Push Notifications. 

We would really appreciate some more clarity so we can plan for this.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Jen,

The same question was also cross posted in the Firebase Group and we are hearing an opposite response.

It would be appreciated if you can confirm that your previous response still holds true.

Thanks,

Peter
