GCM to FCM Migration: client subscription question
For a new Firebase project I add the SenderId to my desktop websites manifest (and do not use VAPID authentication).
On a successful pushManager.subscription() the token I get back from the pushSubscription is of the format:
https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send/*instance_token*
I expected it to be using the firebase endpoint instead:
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/*instance_token*
I can successfully send push notifications to this token through the firebase endpoint.
My questions are:
Why do I get a GCM endpoint in the token for a firebase project?
Will this always be the case or is something going to change when GCM is discontinued?
Can we continue to use the legacy approach of the gcm_sender_id in the manifest (over VAPID)?
