I'm currently developing an app for restaurants that receives orders from a firebase push notification.
I need a way to notify the users of the app by forcibly opening a page with a high volume of ringing (something like an alarm page, where you have a dismiss and a snooze button, or a phone ringing page with accept or decline call button) when an order arrives, so that they can dismiss and go to their current orders page.
My main issue is that I can't seem to be finding a way that opens this piece of UI forcibly on both Android and iOS platforms (since the app is being used on both), and even when the device is locked (though not mandatory, but could be super helpful).
If the issue is insoluble in one dart code, can someone please provide me with a way to implement on both of the platforms? Any workarounds are welcomed too.
I'm trying to do some SEO and I want to index the location of an application based on keyword searching. By using the official search API, I've come up with the following query:
https://itunes.apple.com/search?media=software&term=sql+server&limit=&country=us&limit=200
To search the US App Store, for the term sql server. The app I am looking for current shows up in this list at position ~20'th. If I search from my phone, the app is closer to the ~30'th position (other search terms perform even worse). I have tried to use Wireshark to capture the search from my phone to try and see if they use different endpoints, but was unable to capture due to ssl.
Does anyone know of a way to scrape iOS App Store search results in the proper order?
Apple is under no obligation to return search results in any particular order, and is likely to change them depending on client/what search cluster you hit.
Seeing what your phone is sending to the app store is very difficult, however, as Apple takes excessive measures to ensure that communications aren't being read. Last time I tried required BURP Suite, a jailbroken phone, an app to disable SSL pinning, and manually restarting the app store on the phone, which would occasionally crash it.
Set your user agent to replicate an iPhone device browsing the App Store.
Try this one... This is the most recent App Store version, emulating an iPhone X with iOS 11.3.1:
AppStore/3.0 iOS/11.3.1 model/iPhone10,6 hwp/t8015 build/15E302 (6; dt:162)
My StackDriver Alerting Policy setup (for the Cloud Console mobile app) has two devices with the exact same name. Only one appears to actually deliver notifications to my phone, so I can never tell which one is the correct one to deliver it to my phone.
Where does this list of devices come from? I only own one iPhone....I did get my old one replaced by Apple but that was more than a year ago, maybe it's "held on to it" somehow"?
And how can I clean it up and delete old devices?
You can see the screenshot of what the identical devices looks like, below:
My workaround has been two set up two notifications, each pointing at a different "same email", to ensure it gets routed to both the correct (and incorrect) targets.
You should remove the device from your Gmail profile

I was testing my login/sign up feature and for some reason I can't understand Firebase now is blocking all requests from my device.
I've waited one day to try again, but I still have the same problem.
ERROR:
"We have blocked all requests from this device due to unusual activity. Try again later."
What should I do to have access to my database again?
If you use Phone Authentication, Here is what to do:
Go to Firebase Console
Authentication ==> Sign-in-method
Go to "Phone" and pop-up will show
Add your phone number at "Phone Numbers for testing" along with a verification code from your choice.
And it works now :)
One of the possible solutions:
Go to your Firebase console -> Auth -> Users table
Locate the user you are testing.
Delete this user.
Retest.
I contacted firebase support and received this message:
The error "We have blocked all requests from this device due to
unusual activity. Try again later." is usually thrown when a user is
making SMS authentication requests to a certain number of times using
the same phone number or IP address. These repeated requests are
considered as a suspicious behavior which temporarily blocks the
device or IP address.
Additionally, there's a limit of 5 SMS per phone number per 4 hours.
With this, you may try doing the following to resolve the issue:
Reduce the frequency of attempts to avoid triggering the anti-abuse
system Try using whitelisted phone numbers for testing your app
Use multiple testing devices (as the limits are applied per IP or
device) Wait for an hour for the quota to lift
I tried to increase the quota as per #lhk answer but there answer is the
following:
You also mentioned that you have increased the quota to
1000 but it didn't work. Do note that this "Manage to sign up quota"
field is intended for Email/Password and Anonymous sign-ups.
I've run into the same problem.
By default (for the free plan), firebase caps sign-ins to 100 per hour, per IP-address.
This broke our automated testing. You can change the setting like this:
open console
open your project
go to "authentication"
go to "sign-in method"
scroll down to "manage sign-in quota"
That's it. Currently the maximum setting for this quota is 1000 per hour
.
This is one of many quirks that I am running into. While Firebase seems to be a nice framework/product/service, at the moment it doesn't seem to be totally ready for broad production deployment yet. In this case I only used one particular (fake) user for testing/debugging and only after just a few attempts (probably no more than 10 sign-ins), I ran into this issue. The funny thing is that my tests delete the fake test-user after each run so I couldn't see any user in my auth user table afterwards. The solution for me was to manually add that user via the "ADD USER" button and then delete it. I think they should have (at least as a workaround) a definable user that is for testing/debugging, who is not subject to this restriction, if they really feel they have to have such a (low) limit.
I have added my phone as a test number in the Sign-in method tab.
Actually this error occurs when your quota limit is exceeded.
Just add your number and testing OTP to get it worked.
Note: The testing number will not get any message of OTP as we already
defined static OTP code.
See my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/39291794/18132
I went into firebase > Authentication > sign-in method > google and added my client id to the whitelist.
I managed to get this working straight away by resetting the users password.
Steps are as follows:
Go into your admin console, Authentication, Users
Locate the user
Click on the menu dots in the far right hand column
Choose reset password, then click ok
Follow the steps in the email when it comes through

Add that number of yours to Firebase as a tester. This way you can test it as many times as you can.
Else multiple requests from one number to a project. Firebase deals it as a hacker and blocks it.
Add your number as Tester as:
Go to
-> Firebase Console -> Authentication -> Sign-in-method -> Edit Phone -> Phone numbers for testing (optional)
Add your phone number and verification code of your choice and that number will then work.
You will not get verification code from firebase, but you can give the verification code you set as a tester and can login through phone
One of the causes can be sending too may verification email to a user's email within a short duration of time. Try adding a duration timer and check if the verification message has been sent within the time duration.
If you are doing tests a better way to go about it is to add the phone number as a test number Authentication > Sign in method > Phone. Then add the test number + the verification code you'll use
I was facing the same issue and I solved this problem by Buying Blaze plan. This blocking seemed like a security measure on Firebase's side.
If you are using Firebase for development purpose, buying the Blaze plan won't cost you any thing as it has the same quota of free services offered in Spark plan.
Also, setting up Firebase Auth test phone numbers should help.
Per https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/ios/phone-auth#test-with-fictional-phone-numbers:
Test with fictional phone numbers
You can set up fictional phone numbers for development via the Firebase console. Testing with fictional phone numbers provides these benefits:
Test phone number authentication without consuming your usage quota.
Test phone number authentication without sending an actual SMS message.
Run consecutive tests with the same phone number without getting throttled. This minimizes the risk of rejection during App store review process if the reviewer happens to use the same phone number for testing.
Test readily in development environments without any additional effort, such as the ability to develop in an iOS simulator or an Android emulator without Google Play Services.
Write integration tests without being blocked by security checks normally applied on real phone numbers in a production environment.
Fictional phone numbers must meet these requirements:
Make sure you use phone numbers that are indeed fictional, and do not already exist. Firebase Authentication does not allow you to set existing phone numbers used by real users as test numbers.
One option is to use 555 prefixed numbers as US test phone numbers, for example: +1 650-555-3434
Phone numbers have to be correctly formatted for length and other constraints. They will still go through the same validation as a real user's phone number.
You can add up to 10 phone numbers for development.
Use test phone numbers/codes that are hard to guess and change those frequently.
Create fictional phone numbers and verification codes
In the Firebase console, open the Authentication section.
In the Sign in method tab, enable the Phone provider if you haven't already.
Open the Phone numbers for testing accordion menu.
Provide the phone number you want to test, for example: +1 650-555-3434.
Provide the 6-digit verification code for that specific number, for example: 654321.
Add the number. If there's a need, you can delete the phone number and its code by hovering over the corresponding row and clicking the trash icon.
From what I've understood (which could be completly wrong and therefore this post will make no sense), I need to create separate APP Id's in my developer portal for my Watch app/extension.
I did that, and I now have 3 app ID's and their complete related set of provisioning profiles up and running.
The archive works fine and I'm about to submit but, I see that because there is an app ID, I can link a PUSH Certificate (apn). Since the Apple Watch doesn't really get notified, but the phone does, do I really need to create specific certificates for the apple Watch ? And use their related .p12 wherever I would need them (parse.com for example) ?
Or can I simply ignore that and keep the regular phone certificates ?
Thanks
If you already have push notifications set up properly for your iPhone app, they will be delivered to the Watch automatically. You don't need to set up any separate certificates.

Additionally, I have deployed a number of apps already and have first-hand experience.
