  1. Ensure Firebase Cloud Messaging API (V1) is enabled: The Firebase Cloud Messaging API (V1) is enabled by default for all the newly created projects. Hence, you can skip the step. However, for existing Firebase projects, you must have Cloud Messaging API (V1) enabled.

    Note

    The Cloud Messaging API (Legacy) is deprecated, and FCM Server Key-based push notifications
    will no longer work.

    To check, click the Settings icon next to "Project Overview" in the top left of the left-hand menu and select Project settings. Select the "Cloud Messaging" tab.

    If it is disabled, click the More icon (three dots) and click Enable on the Product Details page. It may take a few minutes for the process to complete.

  2. Click the Settings icon next to "Project Overview" in the top left of the left-hand menu and select Project settings. Then click Service accounts tab.
