How can I test PushKit Voip? - push-notification

Question

I created an app and added PushKit Voip. If I compile that and run from Xcode everything fine and I can receive pushes.
But if I install it from TestFlight, the pushes do not came.
Why? I send them the same way.

Answer 1

Once you receive silent push notification payload, then you have to schedule local notification because silent push notification does not come in notification center. upto your local notification sound file plays ( Max 30 seconds ) your application will be invoke in background or kill state. you can do require activity here but not UI activity.
While tapping on interactive local notification you can do further UI activity.
Use below structure to achieve your task.
Use this simplepush.php file
<?php
// Put your device token here (without spaces):
$deviceToken = '1234567890123456789';
//
// Put your private key's passphrase here:
$passphrase = 'ProjectName';
// Put your alert message here:
$message = 'My first push notification!';
$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'PemFileName.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);
// Open a connection to the APNS server
$fp = stream_socket_client(
// 'ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
$errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
if (!$fp)
exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);
echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;
// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
'content-available'=> 1,
'alert' => $message,
'sound' => 'default',
'badge' => 0,
);
// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body);
// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;
// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));
if (!$result)
echo 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
else
echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;
// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);
Use below commands to create pem file and use it in above code
$ openssl x509 -in aps_development.cer -inform der -out PushCert.pem
# Convert .p12 to .pem. Enter your pass pharse which is the same pwd that you have given while creating the .p12 certificate. PEM pass phrase also same as .p12 cert.
$ openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out PushKey1.pem -in pushkey.p12
Enter Import Password:
MAC verified OK
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase:
# To remove passpharse for the key to access globally. This only solved my stream_socket_client() & certificate capath warnings.
$ openssl rsa -in PushKey1.pem -out PushKey1_Rmv.pem
Enter pass phrase for PushChatKey1.pem:
writing RSA key
# To join the two .pem file into one file:
$ cat PushCert.pem PushKey1_Rmv.pem > ApnsDev.pem
After that go to simplepush.php location and fire command -> php simplepush.php
This way you can test your push kit notification setup architecture.

import UIKit

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

pushKitRegistration()
return true
}

let mainQueue = dispatch_get_main_queue()
// Create a push registry object
if #available(iOS 8.0, *) {
let voipRegistry: PKPushRegistry = PKPushRegistry(queue: mainQueue)
// Set the registry's delegate to self
voipRegistry.delegate = self
// Set the push type to VoIP
voipRegistry.desiredPushTypes = [PKPushTypeVoIP]
} else {
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
}
#available(iOS 8.0, *)
func pushRegistry(registry: PKPushRegistry!, didUpdatePushCredentials credentials: PKPushCredentials!, forType type: String!) {
// Register VoIP push token (a property of PKPushCredentials) with server
let hexString : String = UnsafeBufferPointer<UInt8>(start: UnsafePointer(credentials.token.bytes),
count: credentials.token.length).map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joinWithSeparator("")
print(hexString)
}
#available(iOS 8.0, *)
func pushRegistry(registry: PKPushRegistry!, didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload payload: PKPushPayload!, forType type: String!) {
// Process the received push
// From here you have to schedule your local notification
}
}
In parallel if you setup Socket architecture. Then Socket used to broadcast data for example which users are online / offline and you need to know without calling an API then you can use socket, socket architecture on server will send data on online / offline user to devices without making request from device.
