Adds Push.Admin.FcmTopics, which wraps the /push/fcmTopics REST endpoints. With it, a push-admin client can subscribe devices to FCM topics and send one push that FCM delivers to every subscriber, rather than Ably sending one FCM request per device.

API

var topics = rest.Push.Admin.FcmTopics;
var topic = topics.Get("team-manutd");

await topic.SubscribeAsync(deviceId);          // POST   /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/subscriptions/{deviceId}
await topic.UnsubscribeAsync(deviceId);        // DELETE /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/subscriptions/{deviceId}
await topic.SubscribeClientAsync(clientId);    // POST   /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/subscriptions {"clientId": ...}
await topic.SubscribeChannelsAsync(channels);  // POST   /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/subscriptions {"channels": [...]}
await topic.UnsubscribeClientAsync(clientId);  // DELETE /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/subscriptions?clientId=...
string id = await topic.PublishAsync(payload); // POST   /push/fcmTopics/{topic}/messages

IReadOnlyList<string> names = await topics.ListAsync(deviceId); // GET /push/fcmTopics?deviceId=...

Behaviour

  • Get checks the topic name against [a-zA-Z0-9-_.~%]{1,900}. A name such as /topics/news is rejected on the client. Topic names and device IDs are percent-encoded in the path.
  • Invalid arguments make the returned Task fail with AblyException (40000), without sending a request. Get is the exception: it throws directly.
  • Subscribe, unsubscribe and publish requests honour ClientOptions.PushAdminFullWait, like the other push-admin calls.
  • When the target device is the local device, requests carry its device identity token or secret.
  • PublishAsync returns the FCM messageId. The response is parsed loosely, so extra or non-string fields don't make a push that was already sent look like a failure.
  • The client-ID and channel subscribe calls are accepted by the server and processed in the background. Success means the request was accepted, not that every device has been subscribed.

PushAdmin also gains a shared AddDeviceAuthenticationIfLocal helper, used by both the new code and the existing device-registration and channel-subscription calls. Their behaviour is unchanged.

Testing

PushAdminFcmTopicsTests checks, against a mocked HTTP client:

  • the HTTP method, path, encoding and body of every call
  • topic-name validation, and argument errors failing the Task
  • fullWait
  • publish response parsing

./build.sh --target=Build.NetStandard passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) topic management, including topic lookup, device-topic listings, and device or client subscriptions.
    • Added topic-based notification publishing with support for FCM payloads.

Expose Push.Admin.FcmTopics for subscribing devices to FCM topics,
listing a device's topics, and publishing to a topic via
/push/fcmTopics.

Walkthrough

The push administration API now exposes FCM topic operations. The APIs support topic and device listing, subscriptions, unsubscriptions, and publishing through the REST client. They validate selected inputs and process request options.

Changes

FCM topic administration

Layer / File(s) Summary
PushAdmin integration and request helpers
src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Push/PushAdmin.cs
PushAdmin exposes and initializes FcmTopics. Shared helpers apply fullWait=true when configured and add device authentication when the supplied ID matches the local device.
Topic operations and validation
src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Push/PushAdminFcmTopics.cs, src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Push/PushAdminFcmTopic.cs, src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Ably.PubSub.Shared.projitems, src/Ably.PubSub.Tests.Shared/Push/PushAdminFcmTopicsTests.cs, src/Ably.PubSub.Tests.Shared/Ably.PubSub.Tests.Shared.projitems
The new APIs manage topic and device subscriptions, list device topics, and publish messages. They validate topic names and required arguments. Tests cover request methods and payloads, URL encoding, response parsing, invalid inputs, and full-wait handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

The new FCM topics API works for normal use. A few edge cases in input validation and response handling remain. They are minor and can be fixed before merge or in a follow-up.

Reject the . and .. topic names in Get.

The topic name becomes one path segment without dot-segment protection. EscapeDataString does not encode "." or "..", because they are unreserved characters. System.Uri then compacts them, so a request for topic . or .. targets a different path. For topic .., publishing sends to /push/messages instead of /push/fcmTopics/../messages.

Every topic request passes through Get. PushAdminFcmTopics.PublishAsync calls Get, and PushAdminFcmTopic instances are created only by Get. The check therefore covers all topic paths.

Suggested fix

         public PushAdminFcmTopic Get(string topic)
         {
             if (topic.IsEmpty())
             {

Throw when the publish response has no messageId.

PublishToTopicAsync returns null when a successful response lacks messageId, but the public PublishAsync documents a non-null FCM message ID. Callers receive no error. Throw an AblyException instead, as PushAdmin does for invalid responses.

Anchor the topic regex with \z instead of $.

In .NET, $ also matches before a trailing \n. A topic such as "news\n" passes Get, although it does not match the documented pattern [a-zA-Z0-9-_.~%]{1,900}. The request is then sent with %0A in the path instead of failing locally with AblyException (40000).
