Re: [Linphone-developers] Concerns with GCM use in Android Linphone

[Sylvain Berfini]

Hi Liviu,

Google Cloud Messaging isn't a chat library, but a push notification 
library.
It can be removed from Linphone safely and won't break the chat, it will 
just prevent linphone to receive push notifications.

Cheers.
