3.0.2 release

[da314pc]

@shivang007 For this release I think we should get the following issues updated:

1. Notifications to Android 8.0+ are blocked because notification channels are required #341 (comment)

   I have found the fix, we need to investigate if we can update the build.gradle with the correct firebase
   libraries

2. Test & Merge in these two pull request's
   WIP: upgrade to apn v2.2.0 and removed config plugin #327
   Add FCM Firebase Cloud Messaging support #354

3. Update the Readme: https://github.com/ToothlessGear/node-gcm already supports FCM, so there is confusion among some users

4. Mass removal of tokens in Meteor 1.7 #342

5. Anyone got this working with the new Apple p8 files #326

@da314pc Regarding first point, meteor needs to make changes in the build process, that is not something I believe we (as a plugin) should touch, we can create an issue in the meteor and update our docs for the time being.

2. Yes let's do that, I will get in touch with the authors too and move this ahead. And create a pull request of my own if required.

3. Can you please provide some reference of those issues.

4. & 5. Will look into that.

Also, let's start closing the issues that are already fixed.

1. Maybe your right, but I will update the documentation so everyone understands how to add firebase too gradel.

2. I was just saying people are confused by the name. The name is node-gcm, but it has been migrated. To support FCM.

Cool 👍

Regarding 1st Comment. I was able to make the notification work for Oreo using FCM without using build-extras.gradle. I suspect it works when you move to 1.8.0.2.

I am using phonegap-plugin-push@2.1.3.

meteor/meteor#7600 (comment)
This would most probably be solved in meteor 1.8.1

[da314pc]

@pkumar-uk did you use build-extras.gradle configuration:
meteor/meteor#7600 (comment)

@shivang007 I think for now maybe we just update the readme until we have tested the build extras build.

Everyone isn't on 1.8, im still using 1.6, But I will create a pull request probably within the next day to get the android channel changes.

@pkumar-uk did you use build-extras.gradle configuration:

No, I did not use build-extras.gradle configuration as mentioned in meteor/meteor#7600 (comment)

@shivang007 @aboire I have just created the Pull Request for the android channel Integration, I have added you as a reviewer. After that is merged in I will update the README docs on the instructions.

[shivang007]

@da314pc update the README docs in this request only, it will be easier to track.

[da314pc]

@shivang007 great suggestion, I updated the readme in the pull request. You can review.

[da314pc]

@shivang007 could you take a look at the update changes.

[shivang007]

@da314pc I was able to build the app by following the steps in your readme, so that solves the build problem. I will make sure to get an android 8 and test it by tomorrow. Meanwhile can you please make the other changes in the pull request, you have indented the file and hence it's showing extra code which is not going in this release. Just make sure that the files shows only those changes that you have made and we will move ahead with the merge.

[da314pc]

@shivang007 Thanks for helping getting the android 8 merged in. Now we can look at the FCM and new APN update pull request. Just let me know which ones you prefer to work on and I'll take a look at the other one

[shivang007]

@da314pc I can look at the FCM.

Hi, you can find documentation and latest updates of everything in this repo: https://github.com/activitree/meteor-push this is up to date with all libraries and running in production. Perhaps this could help you to get the FCM up to date (which is not really the "standard") and you might want to use the Firebase-Admin instead. You might also want to consider to start pushing to that repo too, given the fact that it is already based on far more recent tech.
