Disable missing Google Play Services alert

[gbalduzzi]

Hi,

I'm using react-native-firebase for analytics and messaging. We need to deploy our app to some devices (mainly huawei) that do not have Google Play Services installed.

I'm ok with analytics and notifications not actually working on those devices.

The problem is, right now the app displays an alert when opened:

${App Name} won't run without Google Play Services, which are not supported by your device

After closing the alert, the app works fine. Is there a way to just disable (or customize) the alert?

That's a good question - I'm not actually sure where that is coming from? I know @react-native-firebase/app has some services for detecting google play services installation status and responding to it, but I was not aware if it was automatic and/or threw warning messages

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/pull/3601/files is where these items were added, they may help you instrument / search the code to see maybe where this is coming from?
