Prerequisites

To build the project, ensure you do the following:

1. Add Firebase to App:

   • Create a project in the Firebase Console and add your Android app to the project, use this link

2. Add google-services.json to your Firebase Project:

   • Download the google-services.json file provided by firebase and place it in your app's /app directory.

3. Add WEB_CLIENT_ID to project.properties:

   • Open (or create) the project.properties file in the root directory of your project.
   • Add your Web Client ID this way:

     WEB_CLIENT_ID=your-web-client-id

Note: For FCM, instead of using Cloud Functions, this application utilizes a temporary Node.js server. Please refer to the server details. Note that notifications will only function while this server is running. We will explore alternative solutions in the future.

For further assistance, refer to the official documentation or open an issue.
