Registration function is not being invoked on iOS using Xcode (After upgrading to Version 2.3.0)

[gvlot]

Bug Report

After upgrading from version 2.1.3 to version 2.3.0 the registration function isn't invoked when deploying the app to IPHONE. The upgrade is necessary to overcome the malformed registrationId problem due to changes in iOS 13

Possible related bug reports:
phonegap#2940 (in my case the function is never being invoked no matter resets or clean build)
phonegap#2841

P.s. I am not sure if this problem only occurs when deploying from XCode. Unfortunately we can't deploy to appstore at this moment because it will eliminate the push notification functionality.

Expected Behaviour

registration function is being invoked

Actual Behaviour

registration is never being called.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Steps to Reproduce

Sample Push Data Payload

'Hello'

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

if (Meteor.isCordova){
Meteor.startup(() => {

    this.push = PushNotification.init({
        android: {
            senderID: 123456
        },
    }, {
        ios: {
            alert : true,
            badge: true,
            sound: true,
        }
    });

    PushNotification.hasPermission(data => {
        if (data.isEnabled) {
            console.log('@@@@isEnabled');
        }
    });
    console.log('@@Initialized', this.push)
    this.push.on('error', function(e) {
        console.log('@@@@Error', e.message);
    });

    this.push.on('registration', (data) => {
        console.log('@@@#####Registration', JSON.stringify(data));
        let registrationId = data.registrationId;
        let majorVersion = 1;
        try{
            let version = device.version.split('.');
            majorVersion = parseInt(version[0]);
        }catch(e){
            majorVersion = 1;
        }

        //https://nshipster.com/apns-device-tokens/`
        if (device.platform === 'iOS' && majorVersion > 12){
            console.log('@@@S#####tarting IOS Registration', registrationId)
        }

        notification.registrationId = registrationId;
        console.log('@@@IOS Registration', registrationId);
        notification.name = device.model;
        notification.platform = device.platform;
        notification.version = device.version;
    });

    this.push.on('notification', function(data){
        console.log('@@notification', data);
        alert(data.message);
    });
});

}

@gvlot Have you tried using this repo's master branch? A lot of updates had been pushed.

Also, I have not officially released this plugin yet to the npm registry. Once it is released, it will start over from version 1.0.0 since it will be a new npm package/plugin name. Right now, I been trying to review a lot of the existing PRs to see what I am able to merge in, at this time, before releasing.

You should be able to add this plugin with:

cordova plugin add github:havesource/cordova-plugin-push

Hello @erisu ,

One small question regarding the invocation of the 'registration' function; How likely is it that this problem is related to the deployment of XCode? Will it work when the app will be deployed from the App Store?

Depending on your answer we can decided to publish an update of our app.

Thank your for your effort.

Kind regards,
G. Vlot

cordova plugin add github:havesource/cordova-plugin-push

This command doesn't seem to work on cordova 8.1.2 (8.1.2 ([email protected]))

Failed to fetch plugin github:havesource/cordova-plugin-push via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Failed to get absolute path to installed module

Looks like the nofetch command is no longer in cordova

I'm currently getting a similar error. My initial impression is that cocoapods is unable to find plugin versions satisfying the podfile specification.

@erisu i have added ur plugin via github and still have this problem (registration is not triggered)
i have clean build with [email protected] and [email protected]
deploying it via XCode to ios 13.2 device

here is my code in index.ts

document.addEventListener("deviceready", () => {
  const push = window.PushNotification.init({
    android: {},
    browser: {
      pushServiceURL: 'http://push.api.phonegap.com/v1/push'
    },
    ios: {
      alert: 'true',
      badge: true,
      sound: 'false'
    },
    windows: {}
  })

  console.log('initing done')
  
  window.PushNotification.hasPermission((data: any) => {
    if (data.isEnabled) {
      console.log(data);
    }
  })
  
  push.on('registration', (data: any) => {
    console.log('registration event:', data)
  })
}, false);

i have initing done and isEnabled in my js logs but nothing more

i've tried with or without deviceready and once i`ve catched this event, but i don't know how
after few changes in my code(moving this part from index and back) and re-build app, i've lost it :(

i get the following logs (filtered by 'Push')

P.S. i've spent so many hours trying to understand what is wrong and will be really glad to your comment:)

[kabachok169]

UPD

I literally don't know what is the problem

I've woken up and then started debugging, i did nothing and then Push Plugin registered successfully
The behaviour of this thing is really unstable

Yesterday i realized that func didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken simply not being called, but now everything is fine

Trying to reproduce it anyway...

P.S. Sorry for my bag eng, my skills in it have deteriorated lately

I have the same problem, can somebody have the idea, how to install the plugin?

[erisu]

@gvlot

Sorry for the slow reply.

Reading through this issue ticket and what you last reported as the current error message is related to installing the pod spec.

This link below talks about the CocoaPods installation requirements. It also talks about this type of common issue, which you are having now.

https://github.com/havesource/cordova-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/INSTALLATION.md#cocoapods

If you are using the correct version, CocoaPods 1.8.0 or greater, and still having the issue, then make sure the pod repo is up-to-date or set up correctly. If needed, the repos can be set up again.

To check your current repo setup, run the command pod repo. You should see something like this:

trunk
- Type: CDN
- URL: https://cdn.cocoapods.org/
- Path: /Users/home/.cocoapods/repos/trunk

1 repo

This is what I actually have right now. I only have a trunk repo and it is a CDN type.

If what you have is identical to the above printout and having that issue, you can try to update the repo first with the command:

pod repo update trunk

If the trunk is missing, or the type is not CDN, you could recreate the repos with the following commands:

pod repo remove trunk
pod repo add-cdn trunk https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

This will remove and re-add the trunk as a CDN.

If you have more than 1 repo defined and do not need the other repos, you could also remove them. Other repos can be re-added by plugins depending on how they are configured etc.

After this, it should work. I had to recently do this myself.

@leventefabry, @andycnguyen: The same information applies to y'all as I see the same error message.

@albertleao your issue is not the same as this ticket.

You are using an unsupported version of the Cordova CLI.

You should upgrade to the minimum supported version of 9.0.0. This version will be supported in the first major release of this plugin. An official release of 1.0.0 will be out soon.

I would even recommend upgrading to the current major release of Cordova CLI 10.0.0. This plugin will also have a second major release shortly after the first release and it is planned to only support cordova-cli >= 10.0.0.

If you are still having issues after upgrading and it is not the exact same issues as this ticket, please create a new ticket.

This issue has been resolved in the main branch. A new version of the plugin will be released soon, and upgrading is recommended once it’s available.

If the issue persists after upgrading, please create a new ticket with updated information for further investigation.
