[Ovmsdev] Google is going to kill GCM

[Michael Balzer]

Mark,

according to the migration guide, all client (subscriber) tokens and registrations will continue to work:

So the currently rolled out App does not need an immediate update, and as we currently target play-services v15.0.1, we won't need to migrate to be able to roll
out a new release until we need to switch to v16. I have just finished updating my build environment and will look into this nevertheless.

On the server (publisher) side, the API also hasn't changed and will continue to be supported. All that is needed is changing the end point.

I've just done and tested that on my server, and pushed the change:
https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/commit/91d1b12a81781b82bd2ce7ab451d129677f5d685

Please update your server accordingly.

Regards,
Michael
