What You Need Before You Start: Prerequisites & Accounts

  • A Base44 website (live and accessible)
  • A Web2Application account (sign up if you haven’t already)
  • Premium plan on Web2Application (push notifications are a premium feature)
  • A Google account to set up Firebase (required for both Android and iOS push notifications)
  • For iOS: an Apple Developer account (for App Store submission and push setup)

Step-by-Step: Connecting Firebase to Your Base44 App in Web2Application

  1. Log in to Web2Application and select your Base44 app from the dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Push Settings in the left menu.
  3. Click Start Firebase Setup. Follow the on-screen wizard:
    • Connect your Google account.
    • Create a new Firebase project (or select an existing one).
    • Download the google-services.json (Android) and GoogleService-Info.plist (iOS) files when prompted.
    • Upload these files in the Web2Application dashboard as instructed.
  4. Complete the wizard and save your settings. Web2Application handles the integration so you don’t need to write any code.

Configuring Push Notification Settings in the Web2Application Dashboard

  1. In your app dashboard, go to Push Settings.
  2. Set your notification preferences:
    • App name and icon for notifications
    • Default notification message (optional)
    • Segment users if you want to send targeted messages
  3. Save your settings. You’re now ready to send push notifications!

Testing Push Notifications on Your Android & iOS Apps

  1. Request an APK build from the APK Request page in your dashboard.
  2. Install the APK on your Android device (enable “Install from unknown sources” if prompted).
  3. For iOS, use Apple TestFlight to install and test your app.
  4. In the Web2Application dashboard, send a test push notification to your device. Confirm that you receive it and that it displays correctly.

Troubleshooting Common Push Notification Issues (Base44 + Web2Application)

  • Push not received? Double-check your Firebase setup in Push Settings. Make sure your device has notifications enabled for the app.
  • Content not updating? Ensure your Base44 site is live and accessible. Try clearing the app cache or reinstalling the APK.
  • APK won’t download? Complete all required setup steps and check the APK Request status in your dashboard.
  • Still stuck? Premium users can contact Web2Application support via WhatsApp for priority help (include your App ID).
