Thanks a lot

According to your 1st screenshot, it appears that your Cloud Messaging API (Legacy) is disabled. You can click the 3 dots at the right of it, choose “Manage API in Google Cloud Console” and Enable the Cloud Message. Then go back to the [Project Settings]->[Cloud Messaging] Tab, you will see your Cloud Messaging API (Legacy) is enabled and there is the server key under it.

Thanks, that is the solution! It would be great if the document can be updated that the legacy Cloud Messaging API is needed, since that is disabled by default now.. because of... legacy.

When are you going to update to the new Firebase Cloud Messaging API? Is there are timeline / roadmap for push notifications?

According to my test, it is possible to get the server API key from the Firebase console. Please refer to this document: Push Notification for Android - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn.

I think that document is outdated, because that is what I see when going to Firebase Console :

In the cloud messaging tab no :

Legacy server key<br>

And in the General tab no :

Web API key
