Additional Information

• This template includes the google-services.json which come from the firebase-quickstart git Project. For more information on how to setup and create the google-services.json for your project please read the google firebase documentation
• The images found under swrve-support-files/drawable/ are used for Android Push Notifications. For more information on them please consult the Push Notifications section of the cordova integration guide.
• If you are using the Phonegap CLI. There is an issue where the cordova-android version is set to 7.1.1 instead of the recommended cordova-android 8.0.0. cordova-android 7.1.1 does not set the Android API version to 28 which can cause gradle issues. To fix this, you can go to platform/android/project.properties and replace the target value from android-27 to android-28.
• As part of our basic integration example, we have added a dependency on cordova-plugin-x-toast in the package.json to display debug information on the app itself. This is not required to run Swrve.
