Last week I received an email from Google saying that I needed to update the usage of their FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) API so it conforms to a new version. To be fair, I had received the warning that the API would be deprecated a long time ago, but apparently I forgot. 😅

In the email they said I had until June 20th to update my usage of FCM and if I didn’t my apps that use it could start showing errors.

For those who don’t know, FCM is what allows apps to push data remotely to an Android device or Web Browser.

The problem: this is used by many of my apps!

So, I had only a few days to update these apps/services:

• Join Server
• Join Android App
• Join Chrome Extension
• Join Website
• Join Desktop App
• Join Node-Red nodes
• AutoRemote Android app
• AutoRemote Server
• AutoRemote Chrome Extension
• AutoVoice Server
• AutoWeb Server
• AutoTools Server

I think I’m not forgetting anything 😅

I worked relentlessly for several days to get all of these updated but unfortunately I couldn’t do them all in time.

Luckily, I got an email from Google that since many people were having trouble updating things in time, they were postponing the deadline to July 22nd. So now, I have a bit more time to update all of this.

To add insult to injury, I recently suffered an injury that makes it hard for me to work for long periods, so I can’t work full time at the moment.

I just wanted to share the situation I’m in at the moment so you understand why there haven’t been any updates lately and it’ll probably take me a bit longer to update everything.

I really wanted to release the latest Tasker beta for everyone, but that’ll have to wait for a bit now.

Hope you understand and see you soon! 👍
