iOS Question Push Notification

[Marco Maria Vilucchi]

Hi,
I found a link that explanes how to create a PHP procedure to send Push Notification to a IOS iphone.
The link is:

http://www.francescoficetola.it/201...-e-ricevere-le-notifiche-push-in-una-app-ios/

This page said that I need to ask the authorization to send notification and I must put on my App, in AppDelegate, a line of code for Consent and App Record to push notifications:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypesUIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];

It asks the user if he want notification

Which is the syntax in B4I? Where can i put this code? Where is AppDelegate in a B4I App?

Are there examples of app with push notification?

Thans

Hi,

from my experince using PHP for sending push notifications it not the best idea, one big problem: repeatedly open and close connections can been seen as a DDos attack. I recommend you to use Firebase, it's really simple to set up and very reliable. Firebase has also a Http Api, so it should be simple to send request from a PHP script.

Which is the syntax in B4I?

Go over this tutorial, everything is explained there.

OK I'm Trying.
But in the Tutorial Erel saysabout to Create a provision file with the new App ID: The last step is done in the IDE by clicking on Tools - Build Server - Create Push Keystore.
I have B4I 3.6 and I have:
Tools - Build Server - Create Push store - B4X Push Server
or
Tools - Build Server - Create Push store - Firebase Service

Both have an error

This is my keys folder content:

What may I do?
(When solved it i can study Firebse....)

While creating the push store, you have to move the file aps.cer or aps_development (it depends on whether you want to build it for development or release) to another folder.

Tip: only use distribution certificates. There is no reason to use development certificates.

 

[Marco Maria Vilucchi]

I created a Distribution aps certificate and I entered them into Project Attributes Region of App:

#ProvisionFile: ServiceH24Dist.mobileprovision
#CertificateFile: aps.cer

When i compile app I have this:

How can I use aps certificate?

[Erel]

aps certificate is only used to create the push key. You should sign your app with the distribution certificate.

Sorry,
but i don't know what's happening.

as a development provisioning profile:

I tryied also with a distribution provisioning profile but htn i can only download the apk file...

 

[Erel]

You need to create a distribution provision profile (ad hoc).

 

[Marco Maria Vilucchi]

Sorry: what means ad Hoc.
I used This:

and if I use Run (F5) I have this:

if I use Build Release App I have this:

 

[Erel]

The provision profile used is wrong. It is a store provision instead of an ad hoc. Create a new one. You can choose which file will be used with the #ProvisionFile attribute.
