  • Does not reach phones in China where FCM notifications fail

    • Does it deliver notifications to phones in China where google FCM notifications don’t reach?

    • No, unfortunately it only simplifies the use of existing notification services. I don't recall supporting a service that does that though. Perhaps I need a wrapper for Twilio?…
