Step using Firebase Cloud Messaging Plugin in ionic framework

Question

I want to get a notification for my ionic application (android & ios).I want to use Firebase Cloud Messaging. Did I need to install only Cordova-FCM-plugin or I need to install another plugin too like Cordova-firebase-plugin and PhoneGap-plugin-push. How about firebase firestore-plugin? did I need to install it too?

I already build apps and install Cordova-FCM-plugin then run the apps but can't get the firebase token. Get this error:

Error: exec proxy not found for :: FCMPlugin :: registerNotification

You need to change in below file : “AppDelegate+FCM”

Where you can find the below method: customDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Please replace below :

[FIRApp configure];

    with this

 // [START configure_firebase]
    if(![FIRApp defaultApp]){
        [FIRApp configure];
    }
