Quick blox - Signature generation issue - ios

Question

I am trying to use this link to get described response:
{
"session": {
"application_id": 2,
"created_at": "2012-04-03T07:34:48Z",
"device_id": null,
"id": 743,
"nonce": 1308205278,
"token": "0e7bc95d85c0eb2bf052be3d29d3df523081e87f",
"ts": 1333438438,
"updated_at": "2012-04-03T07:34:48Z",
"user_id": null
}
}
But now it say application not found:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
<error>No application found</error>
</errors>
Can't go ahead to test another requests. This is a shell script I used for getting curl request:
timestamp=`date +%s`
body="application_id=HIDDENAPPLICATIONIDHERE&auth_key=HIDDENAUTHKEYHERE&nonce=2342546&timestamp=$timestamp"
signature=`echo -n $body | openssl sha -hmac HIDDENSECRETHERE`
body=$body"&signature="$signature
#echo $body
#echo $signature
#exit 0
curl -X POST \
-H "QuickBlox-REST-API-Version: 0.1.0" \
-d $body \
https://api.quickblox.com/session.xml
So there some info regrding this maybe I've created shell script to a wrong way:
HMAC-SHA function of the body of the request, with a key auth_secret.
Request body is formed as the sorted (sorting alphabetically, as
symbols, not as bytes) by increase the string array 'parameter=value',
separated with the symbol "&". For the parameters passed as a
user[id]=123 is used just such a line of user[id]=123
Also I've prepped a Swift project how to generate signature and get session, but still has the same error with no application found.
Any recommendation? Thanks

Please verify Application ID parameter because server return:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
<error>No application found</error>
</errors>
For example generate signature (Java):
Random random = new Random();
String nonce = Integer.toString(random.nextInt());
long time = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000;
String timestamp = Long.toString(time);
String signature;
String str = "application_id=" + applicationId + "&" + "auth_key=" + authKey + "&" + "nonce="
+ nonce + "&" + "timestamp=" + timestamp + "&" + "user[login]=" + adminLogin + "&" + "user[password]="
+ adminPassword;
signature = UtilsMethods.calculateHMAC_SHA(str, authSecret);
calculateHMAC_SHA:
private static final String HMAC_SHA1_ALGORITHM = "HmacSHA1";
public static String calculateHMAC_SHA(String data, String key) throws SignatureException {
String result = null;
try {
// get an hmac_sha1 key from the raw key bytes
SecretKeySpec signingKey = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), HMAC_SHA1_ALGORITHM);
// get an hmac_sha1 Mac instance and initialize with the signing key
Mac mac = Mac.getInstance(HMAC_SHA1_ALGORITHM);
mac.init(signingKey);
byte[] digest = mac.doFinal(data.getBytes());
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(digest.length * 2);
String s;
for (byte b : digest) {
s = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & b);
if (s.length() == 1) {
sb.append('0');
}
sb.append(s);
}
result = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new SignatureException("Failed to generate HMAC : " + e.getMessage());
}
return result;
}
