Ship Push Notifications in NativePHP (Laravel) on iOS & Android – End-to-End Guide

In this video I set up Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for NativePHP and show push notifications working on Android and iOS—from project setup to device tokens to sending the first notification. I also demo a new log-tail command that surfaces what’s happening inside your app (think: delivery, payloads, foreground/background handling, and common gotchas) so you can debug in real time.

What you’ll learn
Creating a Firebase project & enabling FCM
Android setup: google-services.json, app IDs, background support
iOS setup: APNs token auth (Key ID, Team ID, .p8), capabilities & permissions
Getting device tokens from a NativePHP app
Sending notifications from Laravel (server-side) the right way
Foreground vs background handling & deep links
Live debugging: tailing Android logs with the new NativePHP CLI
