This is to demonstrate how Firebase and
Airship plug-ins conflict in a Cordova app on iOS: even though
FIREBASE_FCM_AUTOINIT_ENABLED variable is set to false for Firebase the plug-in still sets its delegate for
UNUserNotificationCenter preventing regular flow of notifications for Airship.
We've patched the above Firebase plug-in in our fork to support iOS-specific variable IOS_FCM_ENABLED that can be set to false to completely disable FCM-related features.
To try out the fork:
cordova -d plugin rm cordova-plugin-firebasex
cordova -d plugin add github:mediamonks/cordova-plugin-firebasex --variable IOS_FCM_ENABLED=false
A similar issue for Android can be worked around by changes in config.xml as shown in this example.
(Note that the example uses API keys of our test Firebase and Airship projects. These were created just for this example, so keeping the keys in the repo is not an issue.)
