Migrate from legacy FCM APIs to HTTP v1 for Android Push Notifications

As announced by Google, support for the legacy push method will cease in June 2024.

PortSIP released the v16.4. version to support the new push method for Android notifications. All PortSIP PBX v16.x installations need to upgrade to v16.4 and change settings to ensure the new push notifications work correctly.

If you installed the PortSIP PBX v12.x, please reference this guide: Upgrade PortSIP PBX v12.x to v12.8.7.

Please follow the below steps to update the push settings with PortSIP PBX v16.4.0.
