We have integrated Urban SDK using these guidelines.
We have tried to check the push notification using ad hoc profile where we have set below values in AirshipConfig.plist
inProduction=YES
productionAppKey=OUR PRODUCTION KEY
productionAppSecret= OUR PRODUCTION SECRET
Please check the below code which we have implemented in the AppDelegate file of project.
-(void) applicationDidFinishLaunching: (UIApplication *)application
{
.
.
.
.
UAConfig *config = [UAConfig defaultConfig];
config.automaticSetupEnabled=NO;
[UAirship takeOff:config];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
NSLog(#"------------REGISTER DEVICE------------: >= 8");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"------------REGISTER DEVICE------------: <8 ");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
.

#pragma mark Remote Notification methods
-(void) application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken // Device Registration
{
[[UAirship push] appRegisteredForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:devToken];
}

}
When we are trying to send the notification to the registered device token, the server shows that device token as INACTIVE Device token.
Please show me what should I do for this.
So, first it looks like you are missing a few app delegate methods.
Urban Airship handles APNS registration. Remove your manual registration calls as UA will just override them, and instead, enable notifications with [UAirship push].userPushNotificationsEnabled = YES;. It should prompt the user to accept notifications, and then the Urban Airship channel should be opted in.
I am trying to implement push notification in app.
I have done that for ios 8. on iPad OS is ios8. I got push notification on iPad.
on iPhone OS is iOS7. whenever I compile app on iPhone I got error
/* Failed to get token, error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3000 "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application" UserInfo=0x16d246c0 {NSLocalizedDescription=no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application}*/
My app delegate methods are
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
// Let the device know we want to receive push notifications
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{
NSLog(#"My token is: %#", deviceToken);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError*)error
{
NSLog(#"Failed to get token, error: %#", error);
}
Appreciate for help
The message indicates you are using a different signing certificate for iPad/iOS 7 than for iPhone/iOS 8, one without the permission for push notifications set. It has nothing to do with your code.
Sounds like your app is picking up the wrong provisioning profile for whatever reason. Does it start working if you explicitly specify the provisioning profile?
I have a really strange problem with my app on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (iOS 8.2). I've followed and read almost everything (I Think!) that I found on the web to figure this out, but still it doesn't work. I've tested the app on iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1), 4s (iOS 7.1), 5s (iOS 8.1) and iPad Mini (iOS 8.2) and they all can receive the push notifications on from the app. My XCode version is 6.2 and the iPhone 6 devices (iOS 8.2) are detected as ineligible devices on it. So I can't even run the app right from XCode.
I'm using php script to push the notifications. When the app first run on iPhone 6, it showed up a pop up alert asking for the push notification permission. On the device's settings, the app is there on the notifications settings. I've tried revoking the apns certificate and creating a new one, re-generating the .pem files, reseting the device contents and settings, uninstall and install the app. None of these ever worked and I am already pulling my hair out. I even asked the Apple technical support for this but their answer is really just blah. I've tried downloading an app from the app store that has push notifications feature. And somewhat the device can receive push notifications from that app. So, is there anything that I am missing here? Can someone help me in this?
As suggested, here's my code for registering the notifications. I called the method "registerForRemoteNotification" from inside "application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:" :
- (void)registerForRemoteNotification
{
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)])
{
NSLog(#"system version >= 8.0");
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert;
UIUserNotificationSettings *notificationSettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
}
else {
NSLog(#"system version < 8.0");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
}
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings {
NSLog(#"Registering for remote notification");
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
#endif
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
NSLog(#"did register remote notification with device token");
NSString *newToken = [deviceToken description];
newToken = [newToken stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"<>"]];
newToken = [newToken stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" " withString:#""];
NSLog(#"Device token: %#",newToken);
DataManager *sharedData = [DataManager sharedInstance];
sharedData.deviceToken = newToken;
[self requestProfileWithDeviceToken:newToken];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"Failed to get device token, error: %#", error);
[self requestProfileWithDeviceToken:#""];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
NSLog(#"Receive push notification: %#",userInfo);
[self processPushNotification:userInfo];
}
Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers.
Been stuck on this forever, but could not get the following methods to be called. I am able to get the phone to ask for permission but after that it gets stuck.
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{
NSLog(#"My token is: %#", deviceToken);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError*)error
{
NSLog(#"Failed to get token, error: %#", error);
}
I have tried quite a few things including:
1) everything offered in the following stackoverflow post: why didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken is not called
2) Looking at this technical note from Apple: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/_index.html
3) This entire tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1 (so hopefully my certificates are all good)
4) (And yes I have internet connection)
Does anyone have any possible solutions? I have been rattling my brains out for the last 2-3 days and have already had to factory reset my phone twice, as well as change the date on my phone N^e number of times in order to get the notification popup to appear to test over and over again.
Would love any help! Thanks!
Here is what I am using to call... (tried a few other versions):
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//other stuff not related
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
#endif
} else {
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}
return YES;
}
iOS 8 introduced a change in the flow of registration that requires explicitly asking to register remote notifications after getting permission from the user.
You are calling this code?
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings: settings];
And implementing this in your Application Delegate?
- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
That said, the old APIs are now deprecated but are still required if you plan to support iOS 7. To support both you can check to see if UIApplication responds to the new selector:
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] respondsToSelector:#SEL(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
// iOS 8
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings: settings];
// [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications]
// will be called in your UIApplicationDelegate callback
} else {
// iOS 7
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
I need device token to implement push notification in my app.
How can I get device token since didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method is not working on iOS 8.
I tried this code in app delegate but it is not giving me device token.
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
Read the code in UIApplication.h.
You will know how to do that.
First:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
add Code like this
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
//Right, that is the point
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
#else
//register to receive notifications
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
#endif
if you not using both Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 ,try this code
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
} else {
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound;
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
}
(Thanks for #zeiteisen #dmur 's remind)
Second:
Add this Function
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
//register to receive notifications
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
//handle the actions
if ([identifier isEqualToString:#"declineAction"]){
}
else if ([identifier isEqualToString:#"answerAction"]){
}
}
#endif
And your can get the deviceToken in
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
if it still not work , use this function and NSLog the error
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
Appending a small validation to #Madao's response in case you are having crashes on older iOS versions:
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
if(NSFoundationVersionNumber > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1) {
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeBadge|UIUserNotificationTypeSound|UIUserNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
}
#endif
UIRemoteNotificationType myTypes = UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeNewsstandContentAvailability;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:myTypes];
What the __IPHONE_8_0 macro does is just allowing you to compile in older versions of xCode/iOS, you don't get compilation errors or warnings, but running the code on devices with iOS 7 or lower will cause a crash.
To get Device token in iOS8 +
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//This code will work in iOS 8.0 xcode 6.0 or later
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: (UIRemoteNotificationTypeNewsstandContentAvailability| UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData*)deviceToken
{
NSString* deviceToken = [[[[deviceToken description]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: #"<" withString: #""]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: #">" withString: #""]
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: #" " withString: #""] ;
NSLog(#"Device_Token -----> %#\n",deviceToken);
}
2020 solution
Six steps,
1. library
2. add to AppDelegate
// APNs:
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
print(">> getting an APNs token works >>\(deviceToken)<<")
let tokenAsText = deviceToken.map { String(format: "%02.2hhx", $0) }.joined()
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
print(">> error getting APNs token >>\(error)<<")
}
3. in your app
For example, after user logon
import UserNotifications
and
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
askNotifications()
}
func askNotifications() {
let n = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
n.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) {
granted, error in
print("result \(granted) \(String(describing: error))")
guard granted else {
print("not granted!")
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
}
}
}
4. capabilities tab
do three items
beware of old articles: there is no longer an "on switch" there.
5. tethered phone, no simulator
it will not work in simulator. must be a phone
tethered phone is fine, console will work fine
6. and finally ... WIFI DANCE
With 100% repeatability, as of 2020 you MUST do the following:
completely erase app from tethered phone
build to the phone and run from Xcode
(it definitely won't work)
force quit the app
completely erase app from tethered phone
turn off both wifi/cell
build to the phone and run from Xcode
(obviously it won't work)
force quit the app
then in exactly this order:
completely erase app from tethered phone
turn on connectivity (either wifi or cell is fine - no problem)
build to the phone and run from Xcode
It now works. (And will work from here onwards.)
The WIFI DANCE is just one of those weird Apple things. They have not fixed it yet (Xcode 11.3). In fact it has become "100% repeatable": you have to do the WIFI DANCE.
Aside from the rest of the condescending answers to this question, the most likely reason that this issue might occur for an informed developer who has implemented all the required delegate methods is that they are using a wild card provisioning profile (why wouldn't you? It makes it so easy to create and test development apps!)
In this case, you'll probably see the error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3000 "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application"
In order to test notifications, you actually have to go back to 2000 and late, log into developer.apple.com, and set up your application-specific provisioning profile with push notifications enabled.
Create an App ID corresponding to your app's bundle identifier. Be sure to check off "push notifications" (currently 2nd option from the bottom).
Create a provisioning profile for that App ID.
Go through the rest of the horrible provisioning steps we'd all love to forget.
?
Profit!
On your developer account make sure you have your push notifications setup properly in your app ID and then you need to regenerate and download your provisioning profile. My problem was that I had downloaded the provisioning profile but xcode was running the incorrect one. To fix this go to your Target Build Settings, scroll down to Code Signing, under the provisioning profile section make sure that you are using the correct provisioning profile that matches the name of the one you generated (there should be a dropdown with options if you have installed more than one).
Here is the solution.
in applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
{
UIUserNotificationType types = UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert;
UIUserNotificationSettings *mySettings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:mySettings];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(nonnull UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(nonnull NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#" Error while registering for remote notifications: %#", error);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(nonnull NSData *)deviceToken
{
NSLog(#"Device Token is : %#", deviceToken);
}
#madoa answer is absolutely correct. Just note that it is not working in the simulator.
In this case
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
is called with a error REMOTE_NOTIFICATION_SIMULATOR_NOT_SUPPORTED_NSERROR
