    Technical side first, at the moment you will still need google play services to have proton mail to be able to have push notifications / FCM.
    Irony in this, is that calyxos, e/os and whichever other android ROM uses microG to get push notifications / FCM working crashes. Like the event in which protonmail will just force close itself.

    GrapheneOS does talk to an isolated google play services, still this is google here as dependency.

    This maybe the most efficient way to do it. But for most users under this "feature" they are trying to get away from having Google as a dependency.

    Seeing that UnifiedPush would be a alternative. This should be built right into protonmail

    Question for the moment: on the short term, is efficiency preferable?
    or like many others here: in the long run, should the dependency on google play services push notifications be having an alternative like UnifiedPush for alternative ROM's?

    answer to the question, also answers in which way proton would still be dependent on Google play services / FCM or not.
