Hi, 

I had a query as stated below, could someone help me with an answer for the same:
================================================================================
We have about 50 games that still use GCM.  
They use the the GCM Client library, and we use our own server to make API calls to send push notifications to devices.

As per https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/android-migrate-fcm, will the clients' calls to GoogleCloudMessaging.register() continue to work after April 11th 2019?  
================================================================================


Regards,
Tejas

You should assume they will not work. Whether they will actually fail on that date is a more complicated story (deprecating services takes time, much like rolling them out in the first place), but after that date you can't rely on it to work.
