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 theTinodios/
folder of your copy of the project under the nameGoogleService-Info-Development.plist
