What's new at GoodBarber? March 2019

on 

Last year, Google warned developers of a technical change in sending and receiving push notifications.
GoodBarber took this change into account by updating the Android engine of your apps.

Fire Cloud Messaging, the system used to send and receive push notifications will therefore be the only system in effect from April 11, 2019.

You probably missed the announcement by Google and it’s perfectly normal. It’s GoodBarber's job to make sure that your Android app adapts to Google's regular updates (and Apple's iOS app).

You can find below a summary of the developments and updates made during March, 2019
