Im currently developing an app in Swift. I’m at the last stage of the app where I just need to integrate push notifications to the lock screen when certain user actions occur.
I’m going for something like how Instagram sends a push notification when a new user follows you or likes your post.
My entire backend is using firebase, and i’ve looked into firebase cloud messaging and I dont know if it has the capability to perform notifications like this.
I’ve watched tutorials and read documentation and I know you can push notifications to users from the console but I’m looking for notifications to be published and pushed based off specific user actions.
I know this is a very broad questions so what I want to know is:
A) Are notifications like instagram possible through Firebase cloud messeging?
B) If not, can you point me in the direction of how to figure this out?
Thank you!
