Capacitor: Firebase cordova Notifications

Created on 1 Nov 2018 · 18Comments · Source: ionic-team/capacitor

Trying to set up the firebase notification service - i have migrated my service from Ionic 3 to my new ionic 4 project.

The only difference being that when I ran 'npm install --save cordova-plugin-firebase' it breaks my app giving this useless error in xcode:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[PHTPhenotypeDatabase committedStateForSingleCommitPackage:version:user:error:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x2807d9180' *** First throw call stack: (0x1d6b6fef8 0x1d5d3da40 0x1d6a87154 0x1d6b75810 0x1d6b774bc 0x1013c8774 0x1013da870 0x1013da450 0x1013da358 0x1024a7840 0x1024a8de4 0x1024b0e88 0x1024b1b7c 0x1024bbc18 0x1d678a0f0 0x1d678cd00) libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException (lldb)

I did run 'npx cap sync' after and still no difference

Does the firebase cordova plugin not work with capacitor?

The Firebase SDKs when served as .frameworks (as firebase plugin does) need -ObjC flag to work, otherwise it shows the [PHTPhenotypeDatabase committedStateForSingleCommitPackage:version:user:error:]: unrecognized selector sent crash.

Cordova has it by default, but for Capacitor you have to configure it like this.

"ios": {
    "cordovaLinkerFlags": ["-ObjC"]
  }

But I don't think all plugin features will work fine as the plugin does method swizzling and that usually doesn't work well.

@oliverandersencox what's the point of using Cordova's plugin in place of Capacitor's native one?

Getting the same here:

Has anyone got this working?

@leshik the capacitor notifications plugin does not work with Firebase cloud messages - unless I am wrong and there is a way to do this @jcesarmobile

@oliverandersencox Uh, dunno – I was able to make pushes work on iOS and Android with capacitor's native plugin using FCM in case of Android. Don't know about Electron notifications though.

Hi @jcesarmobile, Where can I add this? I'm having the same issue as well.
