Integrated parse push notification in iOS project. Not working.
Here is my code:
#ifdef ENABLE_PARSE_PUSH
#import "Parse/Parse.h"
#endif
//in appDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
#ifdef ENABLE_PARSE_PUSH
// Obtain the installation object for the current device
[Parse setApplicationId:PARSE_APP_ID clientKey:PARSE_APP_SIGNATURE];
PFInstallation *myInstallation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
// Save some data
[myInstallation setObject:#"YES" forKey:#"scoreUpdates"];
// Save or Create installation object
[myInstallation saveInBackground];
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound];
#endif
#ifdef ENABLE_PARSE_PUSH
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)newDeviceToken
{
[PFPush storeDeviceToken:newDeviceToken]; // Send parse the device token
// Subscribe this user to the broadcast channel, ""
[PFPush subscribeToChannelInBackground:#"" block:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if (succeeded)
{
//#ifdef DEBUG
//NSLog(#"Successfully subscribed to the broadcast channel.");
//#endif
}
else
{
//#ifdef DEBUG
//NSLog(#"Failed to subscribe to the broadcast channel.");
//#endif
}
}];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
[PFPush handlePush:userInfo];
}
#endif
here is one similar post not helped for me..tried all suggested solutions. What's wrong..already uploaded development push SSL in parse.com. help me to get solution.
Now test push message from parse.com is not delivering in device.
Hi Have you try this Parse step by step Tutorial
https://www.parse.com/tutorials/ios-push-notifications
Follow the tutorial and if you get stack you can post here for help .
Ok Finally resolved this problem.
• We need to create new provisioning profile after configuring push SLL in app id section. Then we need to use new provisioning profile.
This solved my problem and now getting test push message from Parse.

I have been advised that I should allow users to turn push notifications on and off from within my app. I am using Parse to manage my push notifications. I have everything setup so that a user can register for notifications by pressing "Allow." when the push alert pops up. My question though, is about how I would permit the user to turn push notifications ON from within the app if they had originally said "Don't Allow." I know that the push notification alert will only display once. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
My App Delegate:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[Parse setApplicationId:#"APP_ID"
clientKey:#"CLIENT_KEY"];
[PFAnalytics trackAppOpenedWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions];
//other code
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
// Store the deviceToken in the current installation and save it to Parse.
PFInstallation *currentInstallation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
[currentInstallation setDeviceTokenFromData:deviceToken];
[currentInstallation saveInBackground];
}
User Settings View Controller:
-(IBAction) switchValueChanged {
if (toggleSwitch.on) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
PFInstallation *currentInstallation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
[currentInstallation setDeviceTokenFromData:deviceToken];
[currentInstallation saveInBackground];
}
else {
}
}
You cannot do that. The user has to manually go into the Notification Settings and set your app for notifications. Apparently the reason being is that Apple does not want an app pestering a user to allow if the user has already said no once.
I suggest having your app display an alert to advise the user of turning notifications on.
I have studied some of the following questions, that are::
1.) How to set alarm for selected days in iphone?
2.) iPhone alarm using repeated local notifications
3.) How to set the alarm in iPhone and save in local notification?
but they all are using local notifications. I am facing problem with local notification as I have to use three buttons on an Alarm View which are: Snooze, Ignore and Okay. I have to perform custom actions on each button click.
Please help me with this stuff.
Suggestions accepted.
Thanks in advance.

In you app delegate...
- (void) presentWidget: (NSString*)theDisplayedText {
BOOL widgetIspresent = [WidgetVC widgetIsCurrentlyPresented];
if (!widgetIspresent) {
WidgetVC *widgetVC = [[WidgetVC alloc] initWithNibName:#"WidgetVC" userInfoString:theDisplayedText bundle:nil];
widgetVC.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
widgetVC.userInfoStr = theDisplayedText;
[mainScreenManager presentViewController:widgetVC animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UILocalNotification *localNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
if (localNotif) {
NSLog(#"Recieved Notification didFinishLaunchingWithOptions %#",localNotif);
NSString *theDisplaytext = [localNotif.userInfo valueForKey:#"someKey"];
//here we have to handle whatever notification was pressed - that might also be an old aready passed one
//this all is checked when the widget opens - it will show if the notification is OK or too old
[self presentWidget: theDisplaytext ];
} else {
//so we started the app normally, not via local notification
[self presentWidget];
}
return YES;
}
// Handle the notificaton when the app is running
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)localNotif {
// Handle the notificaton when the app is running
NSLog(#"Recieved Notification didReceiveLocalNotification %#",localNotif);
NSString *theDisplaytext = [localNotif.userInfo valueForKey:#"someKey"];
[self presentWidget: theDisplaytext];
}
You need a way to start the UIViewController for the widget, I just created a mainScreenManager helper.
So on the widgetVC you have your "Snooze" and "OK" while the "Ignore" is just the ignoring of the notification itself.
Hope this gets you on an usable track...
ps I ported my app from Android to iPhone, that's why I used the name "widgetVC" for this screen. On Android it is implemented as a widget. Hope no iPhone lover feels offended :-)
I'm trying to change the badge of the application I'm developing. When closed, unfortunately I was only notified a message without changing the badge.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[application registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge];
NSDictionary* userInfo = [launchOptions valueForKey:#"UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey"];
NSDictionary *apsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
NSInteger badge = [[apsInfo objectForKey:#"badge"] integerValue];
if( [apsInfo objectForKey:#"alert"] != NULL)
{
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = badge;
}
But that does not change anything. I have not found any solution around. What method is invoked on arrival of a push notification and the application is closed? I also added:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
#if !TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
NSLog(#"remote notification: %#",[userInfo description]);
NSDictionary *apsInfo = [userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"];
NSString *alert = [apsInfo objectForKey:#"alert"];
NSLog(#"Received Push Alert: %#", alert);
NSString *badge = [apsInfo objectForKey:#"badge"];
NSLog(#"Received Push Badge: %#", badge);
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = [[apsInfo objectForKey:#"badge"] integerValue];
#endif
}
But nothing...
Can you help me?
The badge icon number is governed by the badge property in the payload received as push message. The app itself has no role to play in what number shows up till the app becomes active. Setting the 'badge' property to any integer value (Note : it should not be string and should NOT be enclosed within "") does what is needed. The OS on receiving the notification looks for the value for 'badge' and immediately sets it on the app badge icon. All this happens when app is not active. To make sure it increments or decrements based on what happens in the app, the app should send message to server with the updated badge number.
In the active state, it is app's responsibility to handle the remote notification and change the badge icon.
Note : 'badge' property is enclosed in the 'aps' dictionary received within the payload. My payload looks like :
aps = {
alert = "Push notification!";
badge = 9;
sound = default;
}
You should define better what you want to do because it is not clear to me if wether you are talking about remote or local notifications, or what exactly you want to get and what are you getting.
Anyway, regarding remote notifications (APNS), take into account that you should set the badge as part of the payload if you want it to be set with the app closed. Your app does not get invoked unless the user manually opens the app (from the NotificationCenter or the dock).
On the other hand, when you are running the app, you will receive the call to
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
in your AppDelegate, and then you can set the badge by using
application.applicationIconBadgeNumber = badge;
Look at this, maybe it is a settings problem!:
application Icon Badge Number in ios5
Try also to give applicationIconBadgeNumber an int value, not NSInteger.
OK. Now my report about strange things.
I got it! It works good for now.
Problem was:
i created my App with push notification everything was ok with simple integer (1,8,99) but then i noticed that my integer 35.06 in the PHP variable $price did not recognize it at all even (int)$price unsuccessful . I thought the number is too long (but actually 4 digits is very popular). I decided to use
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
but as it was mentioned it does not work at all when the App is not started. No chance. It will never update the badge. I spent a lot of time thinking about what could be wrong and suddenly something came on my mind.
in the payload i just did this
'badge' => $price*100
an of course it worked good for me =)
I dont know what is the problem , why didn't work (int)$price (it is actually integer) but it is ok now.
My badge shows now something like this 3.506 and of course you can move the dot on step and you have your 35.06
Hope it could help you.
We are using both testflight.com sdk and flurry.com sdk to track unhandled exceptions. The issue is that no exceptions are picked up by flurry after we added the testflight.com sdk.
The method triggered when an unhandled exception occur looks like this:
void uncaughtExceptionHandler(NSException *exception)
{
[FlurryAnalytics logError:#"ERROR_NAME" message:#"ERROR_MESSAGE" exception:exception];
}
- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
#if !TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler(&uncaughtExceptionHandler);
struct sigaction newSignalAction;
memset(&newSignalAction, 0, sizeof(newSignalAction));
newSignalAction.sa_handler = &signalHandler;
sigaction(SIGABRT, &newSignalAction, NULL);
sigaction(SIGILL, &newSignalAction, NULL);
sigaction(SIGBUS, &newSignalAction, NULL);
[FlurryAnalytics startSession:kFlurryKey];
[TestFlight takeOff:kTestflightKey];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0;
#endif
.
.
.
I'm not sure how testflight.com does it, but it seems like they intercept the exception and register the data for themselves without letting the registered method be run?
Are there any way for both of these to coexist?
I got confirmation from the Testflightapp.com team that this is a known issue. They hope to fix in in the next version they said.
I'm not able to test this directly, but the TestFlight documentation seems to say this:
If you do use uncaught exception or signal handlers install your handlers before calling takeOff. Our SDK will then call your handler while ours is running.
They even give some example code which might help you get this working.
I have found a solution on a blog, not sure if it works for Flurry as well, what it says is to call UninstallCrashHandlers method (declared in TestFlight.h) twice after [TestFlight takeOff:#"KEY"] method, and then register other service for which you want to use for crash reporting. See example code for TestFlight vs Crashlytics
Disabling TestFlight’s crash reporting is quite simple. Add the following code your includes in AppDelegate.m:
...
#import TestFlight.h
// Function prototype for UninstallCrashHandler
extern void UninstallCrashHandlers(BOOL restore);
In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions call this method first with NO and then with YES, like:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[TestFlight takeOff:#"<TestFlightKey>"];
UninstallCrashHandlers(NO);
UninstallCrashHandlers(YES);
[Crashlytics startWithAPIKey:#"<CrashlyticsKey>"];
return YES;
}

I want to send push notification to certain users only.
From what I have gone through in Apple docs.
The code to register for push notification is this
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)app {
// other setup tasks here....
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
}
// Delegation methods
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
const void *devTokenBytes = [devToken bytes];
self.registered = YES;
[self sendProviderDeviceToken:devTokenBytes]; // custom method
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
NSLog(#"Error in registration. Error: %#", err);
}
In the method appdidRegisterForRemoteNotif..I see only devToken bytes created and send to the server..but how will I identify which device token belongs to which user. So if my device name is Shubhank's iPhone. How can I send the information that my iPhone is this and this is my device token.
generally you don't update the apns token on server in the delegate method itself. you save it and update it later when you have the user identified.
You can do it this way:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
const unsigned *tokenBytes = [deviceToken bytes];
NSString *hexToken = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x",
ntohl(tokenBytes[0]), ntohl(tokenBytes[1]), ntohl(tokenBytes[2]),
ntohl(tokenBytes[3]), ntohl(tokenBytes[4]), ntohl(tokenBytes[5]),
ntohl(tokenBytes[6]), ntohl(tokenBytes[7])];
[[MyModel sharedModel] setApnsToken:hexToken];
}
with this you saved the apns token in the Model object (MyModel). And later when you have your user identified (by login/sign up or whatever method)
you can call this method
[self sendProvidedDeviceToken: [[MyModel sharedModel] apnsToken] forUserWithId: userId]; //Custom method
This way you have linked the device token with user. Hope this helps!
You need to send the device name when registering in your custom method. The code should look something like below. You could send along any information that is appropriate for your context, like a username if the application uses some kind username. It is up to you which to decide which information to send to your server that makes a connection between the token and the device.
// Delegation methods
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
const void *devTokenBytes = [devToken bytes];
self.registered = YES;
[self sendProviderDeviceToken:devTokenBytes deviceName:[[UIDevice currentDevice] name]]; // custom method
}
It's up to you to send whatever information you need to your own push service.
But an important point: the push token is not the device token (UDID). Push tokens are unique to each app that requests them, and can and do change. If you want to get the device name in addition to that, you can call [[UIDevice currentDevice] name], and post it off to whatever you are using to store your push tokens.
