Push Notification Error

Mon Jul 07, 2014 10:04 pm

Hi Marco, just to add to use Push notifications in your Appery.io app, it is nessesary to tick the "Release" checkbox in App Settings iOS Binary.

Thanks Evgene.

Illya, when you say to tick the "Release" checkbox, is this only when the app is ready for distribution, or always, even during development?

What does this checkbox do exactly?

To use Push notifications in iOS app - you should always tick the "Release" checkbox - to be able to receive Push messages on your device.

For production and publishing the "Release" checkbox should be checked - this makes the final build ready for uploading to the market.

I have another question relating to push notifications.

The notifications can arrive on iOS as either a "banner" or an "alert" depending how the user has their settings set on their phone.

Is there a default that is set within the app? So in another words, can I set the app to default to "alert" instead of "banner" until such time as the user changes it manually on their device?

Hi Marco,

Unfortunately, it's OS settings that cannot be handled from your app:

I seem to be having another issue with push notification and device registering to receive the notification.

I set up the notifications exactly as in the Appery.io tutorial and everything was working perfect. I installed the app on my device, opened the app, the device registered to the database, and I started to receive push notifications fine.

Now I tried to install the app on 2 different devices, and it seems that they will not registered to the database, and will not receive push notifications.

I am not even receiving the alert when I open the app, that asks if I want to allow push notifications.

Any idea why this may be? I haven't changed anything with the push notifications since having it working successfully?

What is the best way to check for errors with this issue?
