Nativescript-plugin-firebase: FCM Problem: Error while parsing timestamp in GCM event

[einicher]

I receive notifications, but when you touch on them nothing happens. In Logcat I see this error:

07-03 19:06:53.851 25622-25622/earth.greenbase W/FirebaseMessaging: Error while parsing timestamp in GCM event

Found something about it here, but do not understand why a notification that is sent like specified would not work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50795697/android-firebase-error-while-parsing-timestamp-in-gcm-event-null-timestamp

[judemanutd]

Same here, in fact tried this on native android and it gives an issue, seems like this might be an fcm issue rather than your code.

[nicolasdanelon]

same here :P anyone?

[einicher]

My problem was that i sent click_action with the notification, after i removed that for android it worked, but this error still appears. It does not seem to cause any problem, its just annoying :)

[mohith7548]

Any improvements/ fixes? I want to know

[raceyi]

I have the same problem

[faheemezani]

So, anyone managed to figure it out yet?

[ghost]

Same error here

[lanchana]

+1

[a-reznic]

{"data":{"action":"zzz"},"android":{"notification":{"icon":"ic_launcher","color":"#1b77d2","title":"n.title","body":"n.body","clickAction":".ac"}},"token":"zzz"}

I dont use flutter but some error

[mhjameel]

i have also same problem .. any solution?

[jaydipumaretiya]

I also got the same error any solution for this. I tried but no success.

[EddyVerbruggen]

+1 and “me too” don’t help. Please use the thumb up emoji reaction for those. I would be interested in a repo that reproduces it, along with the command to trigger a notification. Thanks.

[phatakrajan]

@EddyVerbruggen I am sending below payload and getting same error message

{
"to" : "",
"notification" : {
"body" : "great match!",
"title" : "Portugal vs. Denmark",
"content_available" : true,
"priority" : "high"
},
"data" : {
"foo": "bar",
"body" : "great match!",
"title" : "Portugal vs. Denmark",
"content_available" : true,
"priority" : "high"
}
}

[alacret]

Same error here

[EddyVerbruggen]

@phatakrajan I tried with your payload but the error doesn't show on my testdevices so a bit hard for me to fix.

Is this just a warning, or does it break anything?

[phatakrajan]

@EddyVerbruggen I think it does not break anything but you see this exception in logs. I am still struggling to redirect a user when a notification is received while app is suspended and then when i click on notification, i try to read data in resumeEvent event. However i am struggling to do that part unfortunately. So not sure if this previous exception is the cause or its just that i am unable to write correct logic.

[alacret]

I solved downgrading the google-services, firebase-core and firebase-messaging versions

[phatakrajan]

@EddyVerbruggen Its failing when i try to open the notification and hence i am unable to get the data sent.
@alacret What version of google-services and firebase-messaging are you using now?

The error that appears in the Android Logcat is this:

Before i started to try to upgrade the libraries the error was also there, but it didn't close the App (on Android), so i started going back on my .gradle files so i downgrade the versions of this libraries:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2"

NOTE: The error stills shows in the console, but the App doesn't crash

[EddyVerbruggen]

Sound like an issue with Firebase/Google play services actually. Not sure how I can help.

[4geeks]

@EddyVerbruggen well, maybe the weird thing is that the output on the console it's the same. The difference it's that the App closes

[EddyVerbruggen]

@4geeks Could be that @alacret has "discardUncaughtJsExceptions": true set in app/package.json, which prevents crashing in case of this type of JS exceptions.

But unfortunately I don't see that error at all 😞

[alacret]

@EddyVerbruggen no, i check that. i'll try today to provide an example, if you want i can even create the branches and give you access to the repos.

I don't think that it's urgent anyways, there are however a lot of questions and a bounty for this error, but there are recent. With downgrading the version it gets solved

[EddyVerbruggen]

Downgrading is not something I can advocate. Would be great if this can be solved by us somehow.

[alacret]

@EddyVerbruggen sure, i'll try to open a branch with the error, and the steps

[abdulghanitech]

I'm also getting the same error!

[mskrzypkowski]

I've updated com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging to 17.3.4 and issue disappeared. I'm not using nativescript-plugin-firebase but FCM for notifications.

[apurvaAndroid]

getting same error!

[iranicus]

Receiving same error here folks, logs show:

This is with payload (following the HTTP v1 API format:

{
    "message": {
        "notification": {
            "title": "Fruit",
            "body": "Please order more fruit"
        },
        "data": {
            "sender": "sendersFcmTokenHere"
        },
        "android": {
            "priority": "high",
            "notification": {
                "title": "overridden title for android devices",
                "body": "overridden body for android devices",
                "sound": "default"
            },
            "ttl": "0s"
        },

    }
}

[GerryOnGithub]

Same problem here. The message works, just Firebase is logging an error for some reason

[agrawalsurabhi89]

Any update on this. I'm getting Notification but the onNotification() is not getting called.

[exequielc]

same herror here, the event onMessageReceived not called when the app is not running
