Notice 🚀

We're starting fresh under an official org. If you were using the previous npm package capacitor-fcm, please update your package.json to @capacitor-community/fcm. Check out changelog for more info.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install @capacitor-community/fcm

Using yarn:

yarn add @capacitor-community/fcm

Sync native files:

npx cap sync

Notice

This plugin is intended to be used combined with Capacitor API for Push Notifications. Capacitor only provides APN token whereas this plugin offers the possibility to work with FCM tokens and more.

API

| method | info | platform | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | subscribeTo | subscribe to fcm topic | ios/android | | unsubscribeFrom | unsubscribe from fcm topic | ios/android | | getToken | get fcm token to eventually use from a server | ios/android | | refreshToken | refresh fcm token to get a new one | ios/android | | deleteInstance | remove local fcm instance completely | ios/android | | setAutoInit | enable the auto initialization of the library | ios/android | | isAutoInitEnabled | check whether auto initialization is enabled | ios/android |

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://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/create-a-certificate-signing-request)
  - generate an APN key and then note down the ID displayed. also download the p8 file (https://fluffy.es/p8-push-notification/)
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.

SPM setup (iOS 15.0+)

First ensure all your dependencies are compatible with SPM. Otherwise, stick to the Cocoapods installation steps.

You can also install the plugin using Swift Package Manager (SPM) instead of CocoaPods. To do so, you don't need to install CocoaPods (steps 1 & 2), but you'll need to configure capacitor to use SPM:

to add iOS target: npx cap add ios --packagemanager SPM
to migrate an existing target: npx cap spm-migration-assistant (with capacitor 7.4.0+).

You can find more info in the official capacitor 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 your android/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.

Variables

This plugin will use the following project variables (defined in your app's variables.gradle file):

$firebaseMessagingVersion version of com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging (default: 25.0.1)

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.
