I got this this morning and also took a screenshot - you beat me to posting!

I could hardly believe even AP could be so amateur.

Oh, my dad just showed me his phone and asked what it was.

I wonder how many confused customers they'll have this morning.

Oh. Emm. Gee.

How do I get through to Aeroplan's technical support?



Edit: I'm now on hold after explaining the issue.

Notes for myself:
0836 "TEST"
1053 "NEW TEST JD"

I thought AP's modus operandi was to just go down randomly instead :wink:.

Okay they took a report. It's going to the Android app team. I specifically told them what was happening.

To be fair, I lay a lot of the blame here with Google. I have access to send a message to all our users in production. I should not have this access. I do not want this access. But there's no way to give someone partial access to the FCM console. You either have access to FCM (which you absolutely need for development/testing), or you don't have access.

'root' gives access to everything. 'root' is at fault because it is everything.

So learn how to write better sudo rules?

Google provides a service account ; Areoplan can RBAC the f' out of *their* interface to FCM, either with technology or rulers-on-knuckles.

I'm not sure you understand how the Firebase console works. There is no API for it.

My company has two apps:
com.company
com.company.debug

I want full access to do everything with the debug build. I want to be able to send notifications, change configuration, etc., on that build.
I want no access to send notifications to the release build. I want minimal access to change configuration on it (maybe with an approval process so I can stage a change and someone else can review/approve it).

That is simply not possible.

I'm not trying to excuse Aeroplan here (my company has never done something like this even though far too many people have access). But I understand why it happened, and Google sure doesn't make it easy to lock it down.

Can anyone fire up AE.com? Wondering if it's just me. It's been a few hours now and I can't get through to the call center
