Parse Advanced Targeting not sending push notifications - ios

I'm using advanced targeting with parse. On the Parse dashboard it shows that the notification was sent successfully, but it doesn't show to whom when I click on the notification in the dashboard. I have also set up my PFInstallation correctly in App Delegate. Here is my code to send the notification:
let message = "\(PFUser.currentUser()?.username) has invited you to a match!"
let username = defender
let query = PFInstallation.query()!
query.whereKey("username", equalTo: username)
let push = PFPush()
push.setQuery(query)
push.setMessage(message)
push.sendPushInBackgroundWithBlock { (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil && success{
print("push notification sent to user \(defender)!")
}
}
Username is the target username. The dashboard shows the username as a key. These are the push notification's details:
Push Details
PUSH ID
hOX5Ulhcds
TARGETING
username is ""
SENDING TIME
December 21st, 2015 at 2:02 PM
EXPIRATION
None
FULL TARGET
{
"username": ""
}
FULL DATA
{
"alert": "Optional(\"John Cena\") has invited you to a match!"
}
This is the code I run when the user logs in or signs up:
let currentInstallation = PFInstallation.currentInstallation()
currentInstallation["username"] = PFUser.currentUser()?.username
currentInstallation.saveInBackground()
How do I make my code work?

How to detect if an email address change was reverted?

I was working on the user profile page of my app and I am allowing the user to change their email address. If the user email address is changed successfully, the data in the firebase database of the particular user will be updated. Also, After successfully changing the email address, firebase will send an email to the user's previous email address (the user email address before it was changed to the new one) asking if it was the actual owner of the account who changed the email address and there will be a link to reset their email. If the user chooses to reset the email (for whatever reason), the user's new email will be changed to the previous email. But the problem is that the data in the database will not be updated, how can I detect this change (email reset) and update the database?
authenticateUserAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Done", style: .default, handler: { [weak authenticateUserAlert] (_) in
// Print the user email
let emailTextField = authenticateUserAlert?.textFields![0]
print("Email: \(emailTextField!.text!)")
// Print the user password
let passwordTextField = authenticateUserAlert?.textFields![1]
print("Password: \(passwordTextField!.text!)")
// Re-authenticate the user
let user = Auth.auth().currentUser
let credential = EmailAuthProvider.credential(withEmail: emailTextField!.text!, password: passwordTextField!.text!)
user?.reauthenticate(with: credential, completion: { (result, error) in
if error != nil {
// Alert: What ever the error
print(error!.localizedDescription)
Alerts.errorAlert(on: vc, error: error!.localizedDescription, dismissAlert: false)
} else {
print(result!)
let editProfilePage = EditUserProfile()
editProfilePage.updateUserInfo()
}
})
}))
Here is what I tried according to an answer
Auth.auth().currentUser?.reload(completion: { (Error) in
//Completion handler
if let email = Auth.auth().currentUser?.email {
UserDataRetrieval.userEmail = email
self.emailLabel.text = email
print(Auth.auth().currentUser?.email)
}
})
It depends on the type of authentication you are using but honestly you should just use the email that is part of the authenticated account and then you don't need to worry about updating it in the database.
You can always just get the users email by using Auth.auth().currentUser.email
Update
Found a workaround to the issue of the credential data, try using
Auth.auth().currentUser?.reload(completion: { (Error) in
if (Error != nil) {
//Do something with error
} else {
//Do something with success or do nothing
}
})
Just call update credentials at the start of the app if you want to always have to most up to date credentials
You can always build your own custom handler for the email change revocation landing page. In that landing page you can update your database.
Check the official docs on how to do that.

Firebase Not Capturing Email/Phone from Facebook

When a user logs into the app using Facebook, I am able to capture and display their full name; however, neither email nor phone number is coming across. I have tried both the "One account per email address" as well as "Multiple accounts per email". I have tested it with an account whose email address is definitely not already registered in Firebase. What am I missing such that email/phone are not being captured? This all does work with Google accounts.
let name = Auth.auth().currentUser?.displayName // works!
let email = Auth.auth().currentUser?.email // nil- why?
let phone = Auth.auth().currentUser?.phoneNumber // nil -why?
The login process, which is standard Firebase w/ Facebook, looks like this:
func loginButton(_ loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWith result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: Error!)
{
if let error = error
{
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
else
{
if FBSDKAccessToken.current() != nil
{
let credential = FacebookAuthProvider.credential(withAccessToken: FBSDKAccessToken.current().tokenString)
Auth.auth().signIn(with: credential) { (user, error) in
if let error = error
{
print (error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
}
}
To update based on comments below. The following also produces a nil email and phone when inspecting the contents of userInfo. I understand the phone might just be that way, but it seems the email was supposed to work.
let userInfo = Auth.auth().currentUser?.providerData
The top level phoneNumber currentUser.phoneNumber is only for Firebase verified phone numbers. If you have that Facebook phone number, you can use the currentUser.updatePhoneNumber API to verify that number (you will need to go through the whole flow). Otherwise, you can wait for the upcoming Admin node.js API to set phone numbers with Admin privileges on existing users: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-admin-node/commit/68563c4b2c8128fbc45fc65bad3f6730d320b539
As for the email, in the case of "multiple accounts per email" you need to set it yourself via currentUser.updateEmail. You can get the Facebook email from currentUser.providerData which contains the Facebook provider data.

Facebook login using Firebase - Swift iOS

I'm implementing login with Facebook using Firebase, I have this code which searches my database after a successful facebook authentication for the email if exists in database and logs in the app if found, I want to direct the user to registration view controller if not found but its not working since this method is asynchronous. I appreciate if anyone can help. Here is my code :
func getFacebookUserInfo() {
if(FBSDKAccessToken.current() != nil){
let graphRequest = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields" : "id,name,gender,email,education"])
let connection = FBSDKGraphRequestConnection()
connection.add(graphRequest, completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) -> Void in
let data = result as! [String : AnyObject]
let email = data["email"] as? String
let emailRef = FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("usernameEmailLink")
emailRef.queryOrderedByValue().observe(.childAdded, with: { snapshot in
if let snapshotValue = snapshot.value as? [String: AnyObject] {
for (key, value) in snapshotValue {
if(value as? String == email){
self.stringMode = snapshotValue["mode"]! as! String
self.username = key
self.parseUserInfoFromJSON()
return
}
}
}
})
})
connection.start()
}
}
Thank you.
The registration/existence of the user in Firebase should probably be determined before the graphRequest code in the question.
Most importantly, (and this is critical), email addresses are dynamic so they should not be used to verify if a user exists. i.e. user with email address of 'leroy#gmail.com' updates his email to 'leroy.j#gmail.com'. If emails are used to verify registration, it can totally break if that email changes.
Please use Firebase uid's for that purpose as they are static and unique.
Since we only have a small snippet of code, we don't know the exact sequence being used. This answer is pseudo-code to outline a possible sequence.
We assume that by 'registered' it means that the user has gone through some kind of app registration sequence and the user has been created (and now exists/is registered) in Firebase.
In general there would be a login button and a delegate method to handle the actual login action.
The user enters their login and taps the login button
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!,
didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!,
error: NSError?) {
Firebase can then get the credentials for that user (see Firebase doc quote below)
let credential = FIRFacebookAuthProvider.credential(withAccessToken: FBSDKAccessToken.current().tokenString)
At that point, sign in the user and check to see if they are registered (exist) in the Firebase user node.
FIRAuth.auth()?.signIn(with: credential) { (user, error) in
if let error = error { //failed due to an error
return
}
let uid = user.uid //the firebase uid
let thisUserRef = userRef.child(uid) //a reference to the user node
//check to see if the user exists in firebase (i.e. is Registered)
thisUserRef.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in
//if snapshot exists
//then the user is already 'registered' in the user node
// so continue the app with a registered user
//if not, then need to have the user go through a registration sequence and
// then create the user (make them registered) in the user node
doRegisterUser(user)
})
func doRegisterUser(user: FIRUser) {
//get what you need from the user to register them
// and write it to the users node. This could be from additional
// questions or from their Facebook graph, as in the code in the
// question
//for this example, we'll just write their email address
let email = user.email
let dict = ["email": email]
//create a child node in the users node with a parent of uid
// and a child of email: their email
thisUserRef.setValue(node)
//next time the user logs in via FB authentication, their user node
// will be found as they are now a 'registered' user
}
From the Firebase docs
After a user signs in for the first time, a new user account is
created and linked to the credentials—that is, the user name and
password, or auth provider information—the user signed in with. This
new account is stored as part of your Firebase project, and can be
used to identify a user across every app in your project, regardless
of how the user signs in.
As I mentioned, this is very pseudo code but offers a possible sequence for a solution.

XCode - Swift - Facebook Authentication with Parse

I have Facebook authentication integrated with parse using the following code:
PFFacebookUtils.logInInBackgroundWithReadPermissions(permissions) {
(user: PFUser?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if let user = user {
if user.isNew {
let graphRequest : FBSDKGraphRequest = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: nil)
graphRequest.startWithCompletionHandler { (connection, result, error) -> Void in
user["email"] = result.valueForKey("email") as! String
user["firstName"] = result.valueForKey("first_name") as! String
user["lastName"] = result.valueForKey("last_name") as! String
user.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
// goto app
}
}
} else {
// goto app
}
} else {
// Canceled
}
}
So I use Parse's PFFacebookUtils to login the user, then add the extra fields email, firstName and lastName based on the user's Facebook info, then I log the user in. Just wondering if this is the right way to go about adding those additionals fields, and I was also wondering if there was a way to stop an email confirmation from going out in this scenario? I have a register via email option so I need email confirmation, but just not for Facebook login.
Yes as far as I know that is the correct way to set new field. Maybe you want to check for nil in the optionals instead of explicitly unwrapping like that?
And no I think every time you set the email on a PFUser it will send the authentication email if you have that option on in Parse.
One option to save the email without notifying them is to create your own emailId field and set it to that so that they don't get an email asking for authentication and when signing up a new user with email you can also set that field to be the same emailId (it is kind of messy cause you have the same value repeated) but its a workaround worth trying.

App Badge not showing with Parse Push Notifications

I am using Parse as my backend for my iOS app to send push notifications. My problem is that the app icon never shows a badge after receiving push notifications (Besides for the badge, everything works fine).
I've checked the "badge" field in the Installation DB on Parse and it is increasing with every push, so I feel it might be a client-side issue
Here is my cloud code:
Parse.Push.send({
where: pushQuery,
data: {
aps: {
alert: "Your friend " + request.user.get("Name") + " just joined VoiceMe!",
sound: "default",
AlertType: "NewFriend"
},
badge: "Increment"
}
}, {
success: function() {
/*all is good*/
},
error: function(error) {
outcome = false;
errorOutput = error;
}
});
And the code in my app:
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
let currentInstallation = PFInstallation.currentInstallation()
if PFUser.currentUser() != nil {
currentInstallation.setObject(PFUser.currentUser()!, forKey: kParseInstallationUserKey)
}
currentInstallation.setDeviceTokenFromData(deviceToken)
currentInstallation.channels = ["global"]
currentInstallation.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (resultBool, error) -> Void in
println("register device: --- \(resultBool) ---- error: \(error)")
}
}
Image of Installation DB on Parse:
See my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27615528/2353523 for reference
you've created your own dictionary. That's used for interactive notifications etc. Badge is outside of that dictionary that you've created which is the correct dictionary for sending pushes. That's why it doesn't increment in the payload you created under the dictionary of aps. You have to tell it to. Else, just delete the aps dict and pass your parameters through the data dict
