I'm working on an Android App which is using Google's GCM. It's also working pretty well, apart from the fact that it sometimes takes a huge amount of time to initialize the GCM receiver side (tested on a Galaxy S3 and OnePlus One).
I now reviewed the debugger on the S3 and noticed the output below right before GCM finally initializes its receiver (The GCM Token loads instantly perfect after the start).
I already spent hours googling it and I know that it has something to do with the different API levels, but shouldn't be GCM something pretty basic? Because I also couldn't figure out how to solve this directly via code, it just seems to get fixed by Android itself but with the mentioned time delay of over 30 seconds, so it's pretty annoying and should obviously have a better solution.
// Edit: sorry forgot to mention what I'm using. The GCM implementation is pretty much the quickstart-sample from here Dependencies are
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
and
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
The S3 has API Level version 18.
The Output:
