• GoogleService-Info.plist for push notifications. See below.

If you want to use the app with your own server and want push notification to work you have to set them up:

• Register at https://firebase.google.com/, set up the project if you have not done so already.
• Download your own config file GoogleService-Info.plist and place it in the Tinodios/ folder of your copy of the project under the name GoogleService-Info-Development.plist (for Debug builds) or GoogleService-Info-Production.plist (for Release builds). The config file contains keys specific to your Firebase/FCM registration. The project will not compile without the corresponding GoogleService-Info-{Development,Production}.plist.
• Copy Google-provided server key to tinode.conf, see details here.
