iOS push notification via Firebase not working - ios

Question

Hello I'm making an iPhone app where I send push notifications via Google's Firebase. I'm using Swift and Xcode for the programming. When I open the app I get asked to allow push notifications, however I don't receive any when I send them from the Firebase Console. I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm using Ad Hoc export to transfer an .isa to my friend's iPhone and test it that way. I followed exactly the Firebase tutorial - adding the .plist, the cocoa pod and I uploaded a certificate in the project settings. I have a paid apple developer account.
import UIKit
import CoreData
import Firebase
import FirebaseMessaging
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
FIRApp.configure()
let notificationTypes: UIUserNotificationType = [UIUserNotificationType.Alert,UIUserNotificationType.Badge,UIUserNotificationType.Sound]
let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes:notificationTypes, categories:nil)
application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
return true
}
func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
}
func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject],
fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
print("MessageID : \(userInfo["gcm_message_id"]!)")
print("%#", userInfo)
}
}

There are a few more things you need to do. When you registerForRemoteNotifications, you receive an APNS Token which you need to give to Firebase. This is done in application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken.
import UIKit
import CoreData
import Firebase
import FirebaseMessaging
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
override init() {
super.init()
FIRApp.configure()
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(
UIUserNotificationSettings(
forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound],
categories: nil
)
)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(tokenRefreshNotification),
name: kFIRInstanceIDTokenRefreshNotification,
object: nil
)
return true
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(application: UIApplication) {
FIRMessaging.messaging().disconnect()
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
FIRMessaging.messaging().connectWithCompletion { (error) in
switch error {
case .Some:
print("Unable to connect with FCM. \(error)")
case .None:
print("Connected to FCM.")
}
}
}
func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication) {}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(application: UIApplication) {}
func applicationWillTerminate(application: UIApplication) {}
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
FIRInstanceID.instanceID().setAPNSToken(deviceToken, type: .Sandbox)
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject],
fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
print("MessageID : \(userInfo["gcm.message_id"]!)")
print("%#", userInfo)
}
func tokenRefreshNotification(notification: NSNotification) {
if let refreshedToken = FIRInstanceID.instanceID().token() {
print("Instance ID token: \(refreshedToken)")
}
applicationDidBecomeActive(UIApplication.sharedApplication())
}
}
