Question

Push notifications... at last!

For several weeks I have been working an ANE for iOS Push Notifications (APNS). I now have a beta with the following specs.

Methods:

registerForAPN( badges : Boolean = true, sounds : Boolean = true, alerts : Boolean = true, newsStandContent : Boolean = false ) : void;

unregisterForAPN() : void;

askForAPNtypes() : void;

setLocalBadge( badgeNumber : Number) : void;

Last method doesn't really have to do with APN, but was build in because you probably will need it.

All methods are void. For consistency all data is sent back through events.

Events:

REGISTERING - Just for debugging. Means registerForRemoteNotificationTypes was called.

REGISTERED - Means registration was successful. Returns deviceToken on event.deviceToken

FAILED - Means registration failed. Returns error string on event.info

UNREGISTERING - Just for debugging. Means unregisterForRemoteNotifications was called.

NOTIFICATION - Returns the payload of an APN as a string on event.info (not yet thoroughly tested, since I don't need it in my own implementation)

TYPES - Returns the currently registered APN-types as booleans on event.types.badges, event.types.sounds, event.types.alerts, event.types.newsStandContent.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address if you are interested in this ANE. Source code will not be released, just a ready-to-use ANE.

    I have discontinued the distribution of my extension for push notifications until further notice. One developer says the extension makes his app crash. I cannot confirm this, and at the moment I don't have the time to investigate it further.

    Hi anders-tbl,

    Great that you got the Push notifications working... but I have some questions on it, it will be helpful if you can put up light that how you breakthrough them...

    1. Does your implementation is able to give "aps" data to the app when app was not running in background and push notification comes to iPhone? if you can give a hint it will be helpful..

    2. How did you overcome these "undefined selector" issues for " _stageLoaded" and " notifyASyncMessages"...

    I too implemented the push notifications but for question 1 I get the aps data when app is running in background as "didFinishLaunchingWithOptions" never fires in native extension. and for question 2 it seems that these are internal engine methods which for now I have just over ridden with blank implentation to avoid crashes...

    Nice if you can help..

    Best Wishes,

    Sanniv.

    Hello sanniv_ios!

    1. Yes, APNs are working even if the app isn't running.

    2. I did not run into that problem when I created my ANE. I did run into several other problems though, which made me spend a silly amount of time developing it.

    If you want to see it in action you can try the free version of my app:

    Send a PM to me with your e-mail address if you would like my ANE-solution.

      We've ended up using an implementation that uses runtime method injection. Any other ios traditional method of using the setDelegate on the sharedApplication will result in the errors you're seeing sanniv_ios.

      Basically you need to look into the class_addMethod functions.

      If you do it any other way you'll break some of the flash application functionality.

      Congrats on getting it working.

      Just wondering if you can answer a small question for me, related to one of the comments above.

      I can't seem to get the delegate class to work consistently, once I set it, the rest of the extension interface back to the flash application seems to break.

      So for example if as soon as I call

      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setDelegate:myDelegate];

      Then any call to things like: FREDispatchStatusEventAsync fail and cause the app to crash.

      Is this something to do with destroying some ANE default delegate class?

      Hi,

      I am also interested in using APNs with Flash Builder 4.6. I have been searching the web and have not found an answer, documentation or any tutorials on using APNs. I am using Flash Builder 4.6 and Windows 7.

      If any one has any info please post links or some code.

      Thanks

      Mike

      hi mj93,

      to compile your app you need mac os, with XCode environment.. in windows you can't.

      I'm working on APNS extension, with some issue,  and when finished will post the code ..

      seems that this thing of APNs is a taboo!

      bye

        Hi Anders!

        can i ask you how to solve an issue on development of my APNS native extension?

        In my native library, I'm working with [UIApplication sharedApplication] setDelegate:"my object" to delegate UIApplication dispatching events to "my object": but when i try to dispatch event with FREDispatchStatusEventAsync in method application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken the application crashes!

        Can you help me please? if you want i can post my code!
