[ANDROID] - getToken() - OK in DEBUG, FAIL in RELEASE - 'Invalid action'

[Franco Altuna]

I've encountered a weird situation.

On Android, when I build a signed debug APK and call getToken(), I get it right away.

However that same APK, signed for release, fails.

Cordova: 10.0.0
Android: 9.1.0

Calling

cordova.plugins.firebase.messaging.getToken().then(function(token) {
    console.log("Device token", token);
}).catch(function(error){
    console.error(error.message);
});

Returns

Uncaught (in promise) Invalid action

Exact same configuration (Certificates, jsons, etc..) on cordova-plugin-firebasex works with no problems, so its definitely a plugin issue.

@franalt try to add rules from https://github.com/chemerisuk/cordova-support-android-plugin#proguard-notes

Hi @chemerisuk I had the same problem and it was solved after adding those rules, should I add a new description on the project readme?
