GCM to FCM migration ionic v1

I have an ionic v1 app. I've read and re-read the information about GCM to FCM migration, but I am still not 100% certain that my (unmigrated) app will still receive push notifications after April 11. I have migrated the server to FCM. I believe that the app should still work, but need it verified for certain.

Based from this link, you need to update your client code and migrate to FCM.

Existing deployed client-side apps receiving notifications will continue to work for the foreseeable future. But from mid-april, you:

  1. won't be able to compile code using the old client-side APIs on a newer SDK/Google Play Services anymore
  2. won't be able to call the GCM REST API to send messages anymore

To compile against the new SDK/Google Play Services, you will need to make changes to your client app to migrate to Firebase Cloud Messaging from GCM. This involves changes to the build.gradle, to AndroidManifest.xml and to your code, as described in Migrate a GCM Client App for Android to Firebase Cloud Messaging.

But aside from those changes, you don't need to get new tokens for all users. The existing tokens from GCM will continue to work.
