Issue
I use @react-native-firebase/app and @react-native-firebase/messaging, both v24 (issue happened in v23 too). I use expo, and have those packages added to the app.json plugins section. Since expo sdk-55, i get the following intellisense warning on both of the plugins import, likely from the vscode expo tools extension (maybe @byCedric can help)
Package "@react-native-firebase/messaging" does not contain a valid config plugin.
Learn more: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/config-plugins/#creating-a-plugin
Unexpected token 'typeof'
changing the plugin in app.json to @react-native-firebase/app/app.plugin.js fixes the warning (same for messaging)
The plugins seem to be working tho
