Changes Effective 20/06/2024
RSC+ Android APP.
Service changes due to Google push FCM policy changes may affect users.
Due to the upcoming changes in Google’s push FCM policy the old push API will be stopped on June 20th 2024. To ensure that RSC+ Android users can continue to receive push notifications normally RSC+ application and servers have been upgraded to use the new Google push API.

Impact and Solution

Issue: All Android RSC+ versions below 1.5.6 (102) after June 20, may stop receiving push notifications.
This is due to the old push API to the Google service being implemented in the application.
