General Information

Apple Push Notification Server (APNS) is a central server where all the iOS devices are connected at any given time. In order to send the message to the target device and application, a token is generated for each device-application pair and this token is sent to APNS along with the message.

...

You need to send the following information to RMC for APNS communication:

Token List

Certificate (http://developer.apple.com/membercenter)

APNS Methods

APNS works in two modes, Sandbox and Production:

Sandbox certificate is used for applications that are not submitted to the Appstore and generally when the app is attached to the debugger (USB cable connection to XCode).

Production certificate is used for applications distributed through ad-hoc and Testflight (closed distribution) and for applications in the appstore.

After you imported the SDK into your project by adding the related files, you can integrate the SDK using the following steps.

The following method should be used for registering the application into the APNS system:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:
        (UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert)];

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

In AppDelegate file of your project you should edit didFinishLaunchingWithOptions




func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
        
        let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
            options: authOptions,
            completionHandler: {_, _ in })
       
    } else {
        let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings =
            UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)
        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
    }
}

After that point, the user has to accept to receive push messages. If the user accepts and the device is successfully registered to the APNS, the following method is called in AppDelegate:

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
    NSLog(@"didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken");
    [[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] registerToken:deviceToken];
}

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
        EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1").registerToken(deviceToken)
    }

In the

method, deviceToken variable is the generated token by APNS. After receiving this token, registerToken method is called in EuroManager. This token value must be recorded to the RMC system in order to send messages. In the example,

Status

value is a code value that is given by RMC for your application.

EuroManager instance is activated as shown below:

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] setUserEmail: @"egemen@visilabs.com"];
[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1" setUserKey: @"123456789"];
[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] synchronize];

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

let euroInstance: EuroManager = EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1")
euroInstance.setUserEmail("egemen@visilabs.com")
euroInstance.setUserKey("123456789")
euroInstance("AppcentIOSTest1").synchronize()

If the additional parameters of the user are known, they can be added as shown below:

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] userEmail: @"egemen@visilabs.com"];
[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] setUserKey: @"123456789"];
[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] synchronize];

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

let euroInstance: EuroManager = EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1")
euroInstance.setUserEmail("egemen@visilabs.com")
euroInstance.setUserKey("123456789")
euroInstance.synchronize()

In any step, if you add a new parameter and want to send it to the RMC server, you should call the "synchronize" method:

Use the following method when the user logs in to your mobile app:

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

[[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] synchronize];

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1").synchronize()

If a push notification arrives, application:didReceiveRemoteNotification method is invoked. The incoming message content should be given to the handlePush method in the EuroManager instance. This should be used for sending push open information.

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
    [[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] handlePush:userInfo];
}

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any]){
        EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1").handlePush(userInfo)
}

If you are using iOS 8 or later version, the following method should be called:

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
    [[EuroManager sharedManager:@"AppcentIOSTest1"] handlePush:userInfo];
}

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
        EuroManager.sharedManager("AppcentIOSTest1").handlePush(userInfo)
}

Add a Notification Service Extension

File > New > Target > Select Notification Service Extension.
Enter the product name as Euro-IOSNotificationServiceExtension.
Select the language you use and press the Finish button.
Click the Cancel button in the dialog window that will open.
In the project navigator, select the top-level project directory and select the Euro-IOSNotificationServiceExtension target in the project and targets list. Unless you have a specific reason not to, you should set the Deployment Target to be iOS 11.
Open NotificationService.swift/NotificationService.m and replace the whole file's contents with the following code.

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Swift

import UserNotifications
import Euro_IOS

class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
    var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?
    var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?

    override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
        self.contentHandler = contentHandler
        bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent)
        EuroManager.didReceive(bestAttemptContent, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
    }

    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        // Called just before the extension will be terminated by the system.
        // Use this as an opportunity to deliver your "best attempt" at modified content, otherwise the original push payload will be used.
        if let contentHandler = contentHandler, let bestAttemptContent = bestAttemptContent {
            EuroManager.didReceive(bestAttemptContent, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
        }
    }
}

Code Block

language	applescript
title	Objective-C

#import "NotificationService.h"
@import Euro_IOS;

@interface NotificationService ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) void (^contentHandler)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver);
@property (nonatomic, strong) UNMutableNotificationContent *bestAttemptContent;

@end

@implementation NotificationService

- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
    
    self.contentHandler = contentHandler;
    self.bestAttemptContent = [request.content mutableCopy];
    [EuroManager didReceive:_bestAttemptContent withContentHandler:contentHandler];
}

- (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
    [EuroManager didReceive:_bestAttemptContent withContentHandler:_contentHandler];
}

@end

Ignore any build errors at this point, step 2 will import Euromessage which will resolve any errors.

If you have already added the Euromessage library to your project, simply add the Euro-IOSNotificationServiceExtension section.
