As per new notification from apple before April 1, 2021 all app needs to use HTTP/2 based APIs, as we are using FCM for cloud messaging, need confirmation that firebase services will work fine in the future as well,

The HTTP/2-based Apple Push Notification service (APNs) provider API lets you take advantage of great features, such as authentication with a JSON Web Token, improved error messaging, and per-notification feedback. If you send push notifications with the legacy binary protocol, we strongly recommend upgrading to the APNs provider API.

To give you additional time to prepare, the deadline to upgrade to the APNs provider API has been extended to March 31, 2021. APNs will no longer support the legacy binary protocol after this date. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=c88acm2b

Just received message from Firebase support, no action items required from our end.

The details about Updated APNs provider API deadline will not have any performance impact or issues on FCM, and there’s no action item needed on your end in relation to Apple Push Notification service server certificate update.

Let me know if you have any clarifications.
