Worklight Push using UDID: Apple blocks UDID - Will it Work - push-notification

I have made an App based on Worklight Consumer Edition 5.0.5 and have done Push Notification.
As Apple has recently said to not accept new Apps that are using UDIDs.
I think Worklight is using UDIDs.
I want to now, Will Apple accept my App for App Store? or what i have to do now?
Do i have to upgrade App on 5.0.6 ? and it will help?

IBM Worklight does not make use of UDIDs in general, and more specifically - UDIDs are not used for Push Notifications, rather a device token is.
In addition, version 5.0.6.1 contains further changes to make Worklight even more compatible with Apple's App Store guidelines; it is a recommended ugprade.

Firebase not reporting android activity

We are using Firebase for push notifications for Android and iOS, and all the notifications are working perfectly.
But when I log into firebase, and try to see the activity in “Streamview”, I see only iOS activity, and nothing for Android.
I do see the activity in Cloud messaging’s Report section, for both iOS and Android.
The application we have built is built using Xamarin forms.
One thing to note from the Firebase console is that it doesn’t appear as though the console recognizes that SDK setup was fully complete.
When going into the link where it says “Continue SDK Setup”.
Finally, when proceeding to step #4 it tries to verify that there has been communication between the app and Google’s servers and it doesn’t seem to find anything and it just sits there looking.
Notifications appear to work, but the app just doesn’t seem to be registering as being used under the Android side.
Any pointers in this direction will be very helpful.
i don't have any idea what is wrong here.
I want to watch complete report of my push notifications sending count, for both platform Android and iOS. but i am getting only iOS report in stream view tab not for Android.
I made the comment above and now I have found an answer, at least for my situation. I had added Xamarin.Firebase.Core to the PCL project as the documentation suggests. Later I saw documentation for Android Java that showed Firebase Core being added to the gradle file at the app level. So I added Xamarin.Firebase.Core NuGet package to the Android project also and now I can see data for Android in the Firebase Console.

Google Analyitcs with gms version 11.4.0 or higher is not working with instant apps when run on Nought Devices

We want to transfer data from instant app to installed app using Cookie API. Cookie API needs to have a play services version 11.4.0 or more. It works on lollipop, marshmallow and Oreo devices but crashes on Nought devices only showing following exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'void android.app.job.IJobScheduler.cancel(int)' on a null object reference.
It crashes when we use GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(getContext()) to get the Google Analytics Instance. But it works on all platforms except Nought.
I believe this is the same as this issue.
If that's the case, then this should fix it.
This is normally fixed in Google Play services for Instant Apps version 2.3. However, when you provision your device with Android Studio, you no longer receive OTA updates. You can check that from the version number (Android Studio provisioned version contains "sdk").
Try uninstalling Google Play services for Instant Apps. Then turn off Instant Apps and turn it on again. It should restore the final version (2.6-release), which contains the fix.
Deploying from the IDE will overwrite it still though.
So once it's updated, you can also remove the forced provision from the Edit Configuration dialog.
This was my issue with Firebase Analytics and I got the same error. So try that out and let me know if it helps.

FCM/GCM for electron APP

I have been using FCM/GCM to send notifications to Chrome App, Chrome Extension, Android APP.
But, may I know how can I send notifications to an electron APP from FCM/GCM. I browsed through a lot of websites but did not find anything related to it.
PS: I don't worry about how the notifications are displayed. I just want the notification payload to be received by the electron app.
Thanks in advance.
There's nothing available out of the box with Electron but there is a Node package available here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-push-receiver
There's no boilerplate code available for using this package yet, but there is an open issue in the associated GitHub project requesting a working example: https://github.com/MatthieuLemoine/electron-push-receiver/issues/8

xcode 8 push notification capabilities and entitlements file setting

when using xcode 8 doing the push notification setting, unlike xcode 7, xcode 8 need developer turn on push notifications capabilities switch ( located at TARGETS -> AppName -> Capabilities as following pic ),
then it will generate AppName.entitlements file as following
//AppName.entitlements
<key>aps-environment</key>
<string>development</string>
but for production version App, if we change the string to
//AppName.entitlements
<key>aps-environment</key>
<string>production</string>
then the Capabilities show a warning
and it seems no matter which string value specified in aps-environment, we can still get the push device token at application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:
so what is the correct setting of the push notification entitlements?
thank you
I was struggling with that today in Xcode 8 GM. After disabling the setting, deleting my developer portal provisioning profile and regenerating it and enabling the setting again, I was able to eliminate the warning in Xcode. Keep in mind that I didn't fiddle with the entitlements file. I left it at development environment and after archiving I got the correct aps-environment setting (production).
Seems Xcode is stilly very buggy tho even in GM
My problem was my pusher client was out of date and would only push successfully to debug tokens. Other issue which I am still working on a fix for is that I could only export the app via gym with legacy-api enabled, this was not setting the apns-environment to be 'production' and leaving it as 'development' in the 'embedded-mobile.provision' file. I have however been able to successfully deploy the app via the xcode organiser to work with apns(prod) now.
I think the better solution is open the project package and open project.pbxproj
change the CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS
CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS = "your-app/production.entitlements";

phonegap build 3.3.0 + pushwoosh not working

I installed according to this guide: http://www.pushwoosh.com/programming-push-notification/android/android-additional-platforms/phonegap-build/
And I defined in pushwoosh the Certificate is needed.
IOS system I get an error
your provisioning profile does not have aps entry. Please make your profile push compatible
And Android app costs but I send notifications are not coming.
Where could be the problem? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!
You need to recreate your mobileprovisioning profile for the app in Apple Developer Portal.
Your current mobileprovisioning profile does not allow push notifications.
After recreating the profile, open it in any text editor and double check that it has "aps-environment" line.
