+As of version 2.0.0 the SENDER_ID parameter has been removed at install time. Instead you put your google-services.json (Android) and/or GoogleService-Info.pList in the root folder of your project and the plugin's hooks will copy the file to the correct place in the platforms directory for you.
 
 > Note: if you are using Ionic you may need to specify the SENDER_ID variable in your package.json.
