Integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging with Any App

What is Firebase Cloud Messaging

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably send messages at no cost. It enables you to deliver push notifications to user devices, allowing for effective user engagement and retention.

FCM provides a flexible infrastructure for sending messages and notifications to iOS, Android, and web applications. It offers features like message targeting, delivery reporting, and message priority settings.
