Firebase Push Notification Topic Subscription

[nguni52]

I have the following code for push notifications using ionic cloud and Firebase Cloud Messaging.

let topic = "topics/" + this.user.userRole + "/" + this.user.location;
                    console.log("TOPIC: ", topic);
                    const options:PushOptions = {
                        android: {
                            senderID: "xxxxx",
                            sound: true,
                            vibrate: true,
                            //topics: [topic]
                        },
                        ios: {
                            alert: "true",
                            badge: false,
                            sound: "true"
                        },
                        windows: {}
                    };

It works, but as soon as I try to subscribe to a specific topic, then the app crashes when running from android.

When I use subscribe, in the manner below:

pushObject.on('registration').subscribe((data:any) => {
                        console.log("device registered -> ", data);
                        this.saveToken(data.registrationId);
                        let topic = "topics/" + this.user.userRole + "/" + this.user.location;
                        pushObject.subscribe(topic).then((res:any) => {
                            console.log("subscribed to topic: ", res);
                        });
                    });

Again, nothing happens and I'm not receiving any information showing I was able ot subscribe to a topic.

How do I accomplish topic subscription?

pushObject

Where does this come from? What is the library behind it? (Provide a link please)

[nguni52]

This is an ionic 3 package.

So I have this in my package.json

"@ionic-native/push": "3.4.4"

I then import it into my app.component:

import { Push, PushObject, PushOptions } from '@ionic-native/push';

and finally create an object:

const pushObject:PushObject = this.push.init(options);

Here is the link.

pushObject.subscribe(

There is no documentation for this at https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/push/. Are you sure that is correct?

any news about this issue?

[Sujan12]

There is an open question from me posted above. If you have the exact same problem, maybe you can answer it?

Ok actually I had not the issue, I just followed the documentation of the cordova plugin here: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/API.md and it works correctly. So I’m not getting any error.
