Root Cause
The shutdown of Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) and move to its successor Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) as documented in our FCM Migration Guide made changes to our push notification components neccessary. While adjusting the still maintained components we decided to drop the component responsible for the push from middleware to Mail App clients which was delivered via the package open-xchange-pns-mobile-api-facade. We discontinued support for Mail App and the associated mobile-api-facade component in April 2023. While implementing the removal of open-xchange-pns-mobile-api-facade we failed to remove the dependency from the package open-xchange-mobile-api-facade-push-certificates.
