How to make push notifications work on MAUI .net 8?

I've been struggling to make them work. I haven't been able to find any official tutorial explaining how to transition from Xamarin.Forms to MAUI in this subject. Back in Xamarin.Forms I was using Firebase for Android and APNS for iOS. Is it possible to keep it similar on MAUI?

All information I found on internet doesn't work on .net 8. The closest I have been so far is by using Shiny.net. But as I said, I would like to keep it simple and just rely on Firebase and APNS as I used to do in my Xamarin.Forms app.

Yes you can use with .NET MAUI Firebase Packages

Android -> https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Firebase.Messaging
iOS -> https://www.nuget.org/packages/AdamE.Firebase.iOS.CloudMessaging

or you can use shared plugin that use the packages above

I followed this tutorial and it's working fine:

There is a learning curve to get all potential from Azure Hub Notifications...

Jumping on the back of this discussion as we just finished migrating from Xamarin to MAUI and found the old legacy GCM doesn't seem to work anymore for MAUI android apps. The OnMessageReceived never gets called despite previously working using Xamarin.

Following the links below got our pushes working again:
