Howdy! 📣 Big news is on the horizon for those using Expo Push Notifications, especially if you're sending notifications to Android devices. Google has some updates lined up, and Expo is right there to make sure your notifications keep flowing seamlessly.

😎Alright, strap in, because I'm taking you straight into the core of the highlights!

So, here's the scoop: come June 20, 2024, Google is waving goodbye to the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Legacy API. Instead, they're rolling out the swanky new FCM V1 API . What does this mean for you? Well, if you're using Expo Push Notifications for your Android notifications, you'll want to hop aboard the FCM V1 train. Don't worry, though - iOS notifications through Expo Push Notifications remain unaffected.

Now, onto the exciting part - Expo is making the transition as smooth as butter. In early March, they will be dropping details on how you can opt-in to send your Android notifications via the FCM V1 API. Yes, you heard that right - it's optional, but it is highly recommended to jump on this bandwagon for a smoother, more reliable notification experience.

Of course, I understand transitions can be challenging for developers. Expo is committed to providing comprehensive support every step of the way. Clear instructions will be offered for re-authenticating apps with the new FCM V1 API, ensuring clarity without confusion. With Expo's track record of clear documentation, developers can trust that the process will be well-guided.
