[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment
  • Operating System version: iOS
  • Firebase SDK version: 11.11.0
  • Firebase Product: Messaging
  • Node.js version: 16.13.1
  • NPM version: 8.10.1
[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

I'm attempting to set more particular fields into the messaging send() function, however I continue to get failures as messaging().send() validates the JSON.

Steps to reproduce:

What happened? How can we make the problem occur?
Any time I add apns-push-type I seem to get these failures

This will print Firestore logs to the console.
