How to migrate the FCM v1 in xamarin forms apps as xamarin got migrated

Question

Hey Team,

We got a mail from Firebase team that legacy http is going to be deprecated . When i checked in the documentation, all i could find is xamarin is not supporting FCM v1. We have azure notification hubs common library for android and iOS and registering the azure notification hub by start with azure connection string and hub name. From the FCM documentation they are passing some device tokens in installation. Do you have any clear documentation or steps to achieve that scenario. This is so much important for us we are sending wallet notifications to customers. Currently we can't migrate to MAUI as it's very old app and so much breakage happening. Is there a way or workaround ?

Your help is really appreciated.

@Sri Gayathri Gopalakrishnan Thanks for reaching here- As per the documentation below is the recommendation for Xamarin users.

How can Xamarin customers migrate to FCM v1? Xamarin is now deprecated. Xamarin customers should migrate to MAUI, but MAUI is not currently supported by Azure Notification Hubs. You can, however, use the available SDKs and REST APIs with your MAUI applications. It's recommended that Xamarin customers move away from Notification Hubs if they need FCM v1 sends. Also check the documentation with the steps and best practices for onboarding to FCM v1 using the REST API, Portal, or SDKs. You can find the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/notification-hubs/notification-hubs-gcm-to-fcm

Also, there is office hours where you can sign up for a slot and talk to engineers directly.
