If Firebase Cloud Messaging API (V1) is disabled, then click the kebab menu icon on the top right corner and open the link.

On the subsequent page, click Enable. You may need to wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to Firebase systems.

You can skip this step if you have already set up the Notifications feature.

• Upload the Android Config file (google-services.json)
