4. Replace the firstUserId and secondUserId with valid user identifiers.
5. Replace the firstUserAccessToken with an access token generated for the first user.
6. If you want to enable the FCM push notification feature, use the following instructions:
   1. Follow this link to create your own Firebase project, register this test app with Firebase, then download the Firebase config file "google-services.json" to replace the existing empty file with the same name under the "sample-chat-app" folder.
   2. Follow this link to create a Notification Hub under the same Azure Subscription as your ACS resource and link your Firebase project to this Notification Hub.
   3. Follow this link to link your ACS resource with your ACS resource.
7. Run the "sample-chat-app" from the IDE by clicking the 'Run' button in the top right corner.

Functions:

• Use the button 'Start Realtime Notifications', to start the realtime notifications.

• Use the button 'Register Realtime Notifications listener' to register listeners for all events.

• Use the button 'Unregister Realtime Notifications listener' to unregister listeners for all events.

• Use the button 'Start Push Notifications', to start FCM push notifications.

• Use the button 'Register Push Notifications listener' to register listeners for all FCM push notifications events.

• Use the button 'Stop Push Notifications' to stop FCM push notifications.

After registering a listener for a specific type of event, you'll need to use Postman or a JS client to create a thread with the same token you used in the test app and then send a message to the thread. Observe logs and your app's UI to see if the test app receives realtime/push notifications.
