I am going to implement push notifications in my app with the AppNotify service. To finish setting that service up I need to get my device token. I have tried using the code from Apple's docs. On the simulator I get an error (expected of course). On my device I do not get an error, but I do not get the token either. Neither delegate method is called. Here is the code (first bit goes in applicationDidFinishLaunching):
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
//const void *devTokenBytes = [devToken bytes];
//self.registered = YES;
//[self sendProviderDeviceToken:devTokenBytes]; // custom method
NSLog(#"Success");
NSLog(#"Token = %#", devToken);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
NSLog(#"Error in registration. Error: %#", err);
}
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
Once, you must know that remote notifications doesn't work on simulator.
Regards
add the following method as well:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
for (id key in userInfo)
{
NSLog(#"key: %#, value: %#", key, [userInfo objectForKey:key]);
}
}
If you have written the right code (as you show) one of the above 3 methods (the 2 you have written and the one i have above) gets called. If you don't get any error on the device then wait for some time (ideally 10 seconds but it maybe take longer as well) for the didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method to get called. Regards.

When my app enters background, AppDelegate is not listening to the new push notification from APNS. But strange thing is that it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I can't figure out why.
Here is my sample code for listening APNS Notification
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound
|UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert) categories:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
}
if (launchOptions != nil)
{
NSDictionary *dictionary = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
if (dictionary != nil)
{
}
}
return YES;
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication*)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary*)userInfo
{
NSLog(#"Received notification: %#", userInfo);
[self application:application didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:nil];
}
-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
NSLog(#"Received notification background: %#", userInfo);
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 5 * NSEC_PER_SEC),
dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
// Check result of your operation and call completion block with the result
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
});
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings {
[application registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
In background/closed mode,no code will execute and none of the delegate method will be invoked.This time push notification is handled by OS itself.The app badge is set by push notification payload value coming from server side.
If you are not getting app badge in background,it is a badge number issue from server side.Check whether the push notification payload contains application badge field and set to values greater than 0.
This link have same issue and resolved it.
Try to change your line..
if ([application respondsToSelector:#selector(registerUserNotificationSettings:)]) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeBadge|UIUserNotificationTypeAlert|UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil]];
} else {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert|UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge|UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound];
}
in iOS 8 you have to use "UIUserNotificationTypeBadge"...
Hope this will work for you..
I need to register the device for Push Notification each time the User Logs In.
Right now in my AppDelete.m I have the following code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
NSString *token = [[deviceToken description] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"<>"]];
token = [[token componentsSeparatedByString:#" "] componentsJoinedByString:#""];
[self.pushClient registerDeviceToken:token withUser:loggedInUserName onSuccess:^{
NSLog(#"successful registration");
} onFailure:^(NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#", [error userInfo]);
}];
}
Q. What do I need to do to call the above methods in my App Delegate each time the User Logs In? i.e. The app is running. A User logs out and logs back in with a different username, and now I need to register the device with that user name, what should I do?
You can always call the method registerForRemoteNotificationTypes after user is logged in.
You need to persist APNS token, thats the way going forward for your situation.
As and when your app comes to foreground, you will get call in registerForRemoteNotificationTypes. Now
remove old APNS token from NSUserDefaults if any (or whatever you like for persistence)
save APNS token into NSUserDefaults
and use saved token.
I am bit bit confused as why am I geting this NSInvalidArgumentException error as I am not doing anything special.Here is my code do let me if I have done anything wrong.Basically i am implementing the the Mixpanel analytics in didreceivelocalnotifiaction and sending the fire time to the mixpanel.I have stored the value for username.Please let me know why am I getting this error.Moreover its not regular,it comes once in a while so that is making more difficult to find the error.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notif {
// Handle the notificaton when the app is running
Mixpanel *mixp = [Mixpanel sharedInstance];
[mixp track:#"Notification Fired" properties:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:notif.fireDate forKey:#"App Opens"]];
mixp.nameTag = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"Username"];
[mixp identify:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"Username"]];
}
I "think" my app is not registering for push notifications.
It should be as simple as adding the code to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions and then the when tested the app alert for push notifications should (but does not in my case) pop up.
my code:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
return YES;
}
This is an iPad app. It is running without push on my real device so I assume the provisioning is correct.
Any ideas? I do not get the push Don't allow/ok pop up.
Do u have this code in your delegate?
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
NSString *str = [NSString
stringWithFormat:#"Device Token=%#",deviceToken];
NSLog(str);
}
You should get the device token generated and put it in your server where you want to push your notification..
If let say you have everything right on the iphone part, the problem may lies on your server code where you push your notification..
Take a look at this tutorial about push notification :
http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/programming-apple-push-notification-services
You need to implement the delegate methods and set up the certificates on your server. Here is some code for the objc side:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
NSString *token = [[devToken description] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"<>"]];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:token forKey:#"token"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSString stringWithString:#""] forKey:#"token"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:#"CFBundleDisplayName"]
message:[[userInfo objectForKey:#"aps"] objectForKey:#"alert"]
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
[alert show];
}
A good tutorial about setting up the server and Dev Center certs - How to renew your Apple Push Notification Push SSL Certificate
How to build an Apple Push Notification provider server (tutorial)
Yes I have the other part of the code also. I was under the impression that the pop up would happen weather the server stuff was done yet or not?
I got it working. I had to get a new provisioning file. Delete the old one. The go into the app folder. View contents of the project file. Open with text editor the file with the provisioning key in it and swap the key (two spots) out with the new key code.
Now it works. Thanks for the help.
I m making an iOS notification service. But my device dont receive anything, i just take one tutorial from internet and make it.
I send more than 1 notification at time, maybe its this the problem? I have my app properly implemented (i can see it in settings).
The correct question for me is... Are there some methods you can use to see if there is any code to handle errors in sending the notifications?
Thank you.
In the Apple Documentation, look at :
Table 5-1 Codes in error-response
packet
You will find what you search.
Hi There are few methods in pushnotification whice are as below
First register your device by
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound)];
Then use its delegate methods
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken
{
NSLog(#"Before --- Token === %#",devToken);
NSString *strServerResponse = [[[devToken description] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"<>"]]copy];
NSLog(#"%#",strServerResponse);
NSString * encodedURL = (NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(NULL,(CFStringRef)strServerResponse,NULL,(CFStringRef)#" ",kCFStringEncodingUTF8 );
NSString *DeviceToken=[Constant getUserDefaultValueForKey:#"DeviceToken"];
if([Constant checkStringNull:DeviceToken])
{
[Constant setUserDefaultValue:encodedURL forKey:#"DeviceToken"];
}
NSLog(#"After Encoding --- Token === %#",encodedURL);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err
{
NSLog(#"Error in registration. Error: %#", err);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
NSLog(#"userInfo %#",userInfo);
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible=TRUE;
NSLog(#"\n\nData Received From Push Notification ===== %#",[userInfo description]);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0 ];
}
