Question

I have a flutter application with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) integration but I want to add my physical device or emulator as a test device to test the notifications on this device only without releasing to all production devices .. how can I achieve that ?

Answer 1

follow this steps :

1- add a debug print of the FCM token to your apps start by adding this line :

FirebaseMessaging.instance.getToken().then((value) => print(value));

2- run your app in debug mode and copy the token , it will look like this :

I/flutter ( 6513): Really_lage_token

3- login to your Firebase console and add a new notification :

4- click on send test message and add your token from step 2

5- click test and repeat for each test notification .
