Done this several times
Found this interesting warning in [GCM docs](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/gcm):
So I migrated my GCM project to Firebase, and tried using new server key (longer)
([https://console.firebase.google.com/project/](https://console.firebase.google.com/project/)/settings/cloudmessaging)
But it changed nothing.

No (
(tried two accounts and desktop and Android)
Right after I recreated GCM app and re-run the code I got some different result:
```plaintext
[8] pry(main)> DiscoursePushNotifications::GCMPusher.push(User.find_by(username: 'Shrike'), {})
=> {"discourse_push_notifications"=>{"google-cloud-messaging"=>{}, "push-services-mozilla"=>{}}}
```
(instead of `nil`)
But still there’re no notifications.
Next run returned again `nil`.

Are there any subscriptions in
`User.find_by(username: '').custom_fields`

Yeah:
```plaintext
[1] pry(main)> User.find_by(username: 'Shrike').custom_fields
=> {"discourse_push_notifications"=>{"google-cloud-messaging"=>{}, "push-services-mozilla"=>{}}}
```

Finally I got it working!
I came into GCM again and noticed that now I have not only API key but also Server Key.
**Probably** it’s after I migrated my app to Firebase.
I used the server key and finally it starts working.
So the [manual](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-push-notifications/46692) is outdated and the warning in the docs makes sense. For push notifications to work we need server key which cannot be created in [https://console.developers.google.com/apis/](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/) anymore.
Instead we have to use [https://console.firebase.google.com/](https://console.firebase.google.com/)
BTW: there’re two server keys there: long (“Server key”) and short (“legacy server key”). For GCM we need the legacy one.
(I previously tried the long one)

Ah ha. Let me update the docs soon 🙂 Thanks for debugging this!
Hmm still Mozilla push notification should work automagically.

maybe, but for me they don’t.
also after some time of celebrating it stops working again ☹ All I did as I can remember - edited credentials (restrictions/name), rolling back, creating new credentials (in Firebase) and a new project in Firebase didn’t help.

For several days I’ve been trying to make the plugin work without success. I’ve followed the very outdated guide, then I’ve discovered exactly what @Shrike found out. But it just doesn’t work.
I’ve tried creating a new project, but that is not helping either.
I deleted everything, uninstalled the plugin, re-installed it again, nothing.
Even though the settings are correct (Organization ID + legacy server key entered in settings) I get the following error in the console when pressing the push notifications button on my profile:
`Registration failed - missing applicationServerKey, and manifest empty or missing`
Also, button dissapeared on Firefox browsers ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯

Can you try upgrading again? I just pushed a new version of Discobot that wouldn’t require you to register an app with Google at all.
