iOS Question Push Notification Firebase not working....

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, i always used Firebase to send notification to the apps...
i didn't know what i'm doing different, but i can't manage it to work.
What i did:

1. Created App ID on Apple Dashboard
2. Created Push notification SSL production certifcate
3. Put it in the b4ikeys folder
4. Created the AdHoc provision profile
5. Generated the p12 firebase service file
6. Created a project on firebase with the same package name, uploaded the p12 file
7. put the googleplist.json in the Special folder
8. added the Entitelment and ProvisionFile
9. Imported the two firebase libraries and added all the Subs from the tutorial

The app compiles, the Sub fm_FCMConnected is fired, so it subscribe to "ios_general".
but when I try to send a notification using the B4J SendingTool to "ios_general" topic nothing arrives to my iphone....

I also tried an old application where push notification works, and i noticed that the Application_RemoteNotification is not fired anymore... i tried to put a log in it and it is not printed..



I tried also the approach with the Keys instead the Certificates.. same thing...

I don't know what to do

Thanks in advance

Are you testing it when the app is in the background?
Are you using a distribution certificate?

Yes I tried also sending it in background and then run the b4j script

Yes I always use distribution certificate, in the b4i keys folder I have only that .cer

The only thing that I can say is that you missed something. Go over the tutorial. Post the logs. Make sure that you receive a push token.

Yes, the push token sub fires, success is 1

So. i tried to make a blank project and it worked.
I made the same things in the real one.. and it does not work. (p.s. i deleted all the certificate, profiles, keys etc from Apple Dashboard and deleted the app from firebase project before try again. So this are all just created files. And i also changed the package id)

App ID:
with Push notifications enabled and the certificate (Sandbox and Production)

Ok

Provision Profile
Ok


Firebase console
with the p12 certificate uploaded (ignore the fact that there is also the keys, i tried them in different moment, even one at the time)
Ok

Google Plist

Ok

Code

#ProvisionFile: path/to/provision.mobileprovision
#Entitlement: <key>aps-environment</key><string>production</string>

Application_Start

    App.RegisterUserNotifications(True, True, True)
    App.RegisterForRemoteNotifications
    fm.Initialize("fm")

Private Sub fm_FCMConnected
    Log("FCMConnected")
    'here we can subscribe and unsubscribe from topics
    fm.SubscribeToTopic("ios_general") 'add ios_ prefix to all topics
End Sub

Private Sub Application_RemoteNotification (Message As Map, CompletionHandler As CompletionHandler)
    Log($"Message arrived: ${Message}"$)
    Msgbox(Message, "Push message!")
    CompletionHandler.Complete
End Sub

Sub Application_PushToken (Success As Boolean, Token() As Byte)
    Log($"PushToken: ${Success}"$)
    Log(LastException)
End Sub

Logs (i already sent the notification with b4j)

. Go over the tutorial.

I tried again until now. recreating all certificates. i tried also to convert all the project to b4xpages (without firebase) and then add firebase in the end. nothing.. i got the same log, and the notification never arrives

Only you can solve it. Carefully follow the tutorial instructions and it will work.

It's very strange.. i did same exact things that i do usually. I tried in a blank project and it worked. i copy/pasted the same thigns in the orginal project and nothing work.
In the logs there is nothing useful, instead Firebase says connects succesfully and give me the token... everything seems just normal/working until i try sending notifications... i don't know where to start...

Maybe this example will help you: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xpages-firebase-push-example.120523/#content

I used exactly this example after converting the projet to b4xpages...
it's possibile that is present a sort of unknown incompatibilty between firebase and something else?

Unlikely.

 

[Mike1970]

Unlikely.

omg, is a nightmare ?

i try to create another blank project with firebase working, then i will copy/paste graudally everything .. and see when it stops working

Application_Start

App.RegisterUserNotifications(True, True, True)
App.RegisterForRemoteNotifications
fm.Initialize("fm")

I found the problem:
analytics.initialize is missing ??? in the examples it was the very first line before even the NavControl... i completely missed it, embarassing. Im tired
