Unable to get push notifications to work - ios

Question

I am trying to implement push notifications in my application. I am using APNs Authentication Key. Every guide I found so far has either deprecated method or it's in Swift. I am interested in a guide like this one but in Objective C.
What I have done so far, inside AppDelegate.m :
#import Firebase;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[FIRApp configure];
NSDictionary *userInfo = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
if (userInfo) {
[self application:application didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];
}
UIUserNotificationType allNotificationTypes =
(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge);
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings =
[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:allNotificationTypes categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
// Perform different operations depending on the scenario
if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive) {
// Opening the app
NSLog(#"Firebase opening app");
}
else if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateBackground) {
// Coming from background
NSLog(#"Firebase background");
}
else {
// Active
NSLog(#"Firebase active");
}
}
Unfortunately when I send a message from firebase I get nothing, no output in xcode Console and no notification.
I would appreciate it if you can point me to the right direction.

Answer 1

You do not implement the firebase apn token neither you connect to the database. Why not just implement it like here firebase example.
Did you even setup the plist and the POD libs? In the code example above there is only deprecated code for the iOS part of version 8/9 - means u can ignore these code lines.

Answer 2

Please use this method:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
//Do something
}
instead of this:
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
//Do something
}
Update:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[FIRApp configure];
UIUserNotificationType allNotificationTypes =
(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge);
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings =
[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:allNotificationTypes categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeAlert
| UIUserNotificationTypeBadge
| UIUserNotificationTypeSound) categories:nil];
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
#endif
}
else
{
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}
return YES;
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
[[FIRInstanceID instanceID] setAPNSToken:deviceToken type:FIRInstanceIDAPNSTokenTypeSandbox];
}
