Azure + Swift Push Notifications - ios

Question

I am trying to make a VERY simple PUSH from a remote server to an app.
I have set up a notification hub on Azure as per [1], but I cannot get a debug message down to the device. I DO NOT WANT TO READ / WRITE FROM A DB TABLE USING MOBILE SERVICES
I am doing this in Swift, and I have found nothing on the internet that actually receives a push from a server is iOS swift as a complete tutorial.
I do not know, for example, how to write the following code in swift:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
// TODO: update #"MobileServiceUrl" and #"AppKey" placeholders
MSClient *client = [MSClient clientWithApplicationURLString:#"MobileServiceUrl" applicationKey:#"AppKey"];
[client.push registerNativeWithDeviceToken:deviceToken tags:#[#"uniqueTag"] completion:^(NSError *error) {
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(#"Error registering for notifications: %#", error);
}
}];
}
So far this is my code in my AppDelegate (some of the code I got from [2]):
var client: MSClient?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
if(UIApplication.instancesRespondToSelector(Selector("registerUserNotificationSettings:")))
{
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Sound | UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge, categories: nil))
}
/*else
{
//do ios7 stuff here. If you are using just local notifications then you dont need to do anything. for remote notifications:
application.registerForRemoteNotificationTypes(UIUserNotificationType.Sound | UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge)
}*/
self.client = MSClient(applicationURLString: "[url]", applicationKey: "[key]")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications()
let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Alert, categories: nil)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
return true
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
println("Got device token \(deviceToken)");
//IS THIS EVEN CORRECT???? [3] and [4]
/*let json = ("{\"platform\":\"ios\", \"deviceToken\":\"\(deviceToken)\"}" as NSString).dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
self.client?.invokeAPI("register_notifications", data: json, HTTPMethod: "POST", parameters: nil, headers: nil, completion:nil)*/
let registrationTags: [String] = ["tag"];
//EDIT 1 - I HAVE MADE A LITTLE PROGRESS
self.client?.push.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken, tags: registrationTags, completion: { (error) -> Void in
println("Error registering")
})
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: NSError) {
println("Could not register \(error)");
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {
println("Remote notification received!")
println("Awesome!")
}
I am getting a device token back, which means I should be registered, but I do not know how to properly implement [code]
self.client?.push.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken: deviceToken, tags: registrationTags, completion: [code])
EDIT 1 I have made some progress here:
self.client?.push.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken, tags: registrationTags, completion: { (error) -> Void in
println("Error registering")
})
Now I get an error with registering:
Error Domain=com.Microsoft.WindowsAzureMobileServices.ErrorDomain Code=-1302 "Error: Internal Server Error" UserInfo=0x14d97b10 {NSLocalizedDescription=Error: Internal Server Error, com.Microsoft.WindowsAzureMobileServices.ErrorResponseKey= { URL: https://[servicename].azure-mobile.net/push/registrations%3FdeviceId=[longnumber]&platform=apns } { status code: 500, headers {
"Cache-Control" = "no-cache";
"Content-Length" = 51;
"Content-Type" = "application/json";
Date = "Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:52:10 GMT";
Server = "Microsoft-IIS/8.0";
"Set-Cookie" = "ARRAffinity=[somehash];Path=/;Domain=[servicename].azure-mobile.net";
"X-Powered-By" = "ASP.NET";
"x-zumo-version" = "Zumo.master.0.1.6.4217.Runtime";
} }, com.Microsoft.WindowsAzureMobileServices.ErrorRequestKey= { URL: https://[servicename].azure-mobile.net/push/registrations%3FdeviceId=[longnumber]&platform=apns }}
EDIT 2
I have now made the following changes after reading [5]:
func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
let token = NSString(data: deviceToken, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println("Got device token");
let hub = SBNotificationHub(connectionString: CONNECTIONSTRING, notificationHubPath: HUBPATH)
hub.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken, tags: nil, completion: {(error) -> Void in
println("Error registering: \(error)")
})
}
And the output I now see is:
Got device token
Error registering: nil
I feel like I am making progress but when I send the debug push from Azure I see nothing in my logs (currently when I receive a push I just print a message)

Answer 1

This worked fine for me:
let client: MSClient = MSClient(applicationURLString: "https://yoururl.azure-mobile.net/", applicationKey: "yourApplicationKey")
client.push.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken, tags: nil, completion: {(error) -> Void in
if error != nil{
NSLog("Error registering for notifications: %#", error)
}
})

Answer 2

This one worked for me. Hope this may help.
var client: MSClient?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
#if !TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
let notiType:UIUserNotificationType = .Alert | .Badge | .Sound
let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: notiType, categories: nil)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
UIApplication.sharedApplication().registerForRemoteNotifications()
#endif
self.client = MSClient(applicationURLString:"https://yourAppName.azure-mobile.net/", applicationKey:"yourApplicationKey")
return true
}
func application(application: UIApplication!, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: NSError!) {
println("Failed to register with error: \(error)");
}
func application(application: UIApplication!, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData!) {
let hub = SBNotificationHub(connectionString:"yourConnectionString", notificationHubPath:"yourAppName")
hub.registerNativeWithDeviceToken(deviceToken, tags:nil, completion: { (error) in
if (error != nil) {
println("Error registering for notification: \(error)")
}
})
}
func application(application: UIApplication!, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo:[NSObject : AnyObject]?, fetchCompletionHandler:()) {
println("Recived: \(userInfo)")
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("ReceivedNotification", object:userInfo)
}
