• You can do the following customizations for Library Mobile on Android devices:
  • Rebrand the application.
  • Preconfigure the application.
  • Enable push notification for the application.

• If you are currently using GCM to get Android push notification, the recommendation is to modify the FCM setting in Android developer and upgrade the client version as soon as possible.

  This ensures seamless use of push notifications without interruption and allows you to take advantage of the new features in FCM right now. In 2016, Google launched Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), the successor to Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). The GCM server and client APIs are deprecated and will be removed as soon as April 11, 2019.
