Ionic.io push notifications not received

ionic-v1
1

I am having trouble with Ionic.io push notifications. I can’t get the push notification to work in dev-mode or with real notifications for iOS and Android.

In dev mode I can see that the browser polls for new notifications correctly, but the push notification is never received by the client.

With “real notification”-mode the device (if iOS) asks the user for push permission. The device receives a token. However the push notifications sent is never received by neither iOS-devices or Android-devices.

I’ve checked the io API-key and APP-id and they’re correct.

If I check the status of the push notifications using the API, I can see that the push notifications have their state set to enqueued.

What could be wrong?

Sorry, I can’t provide a solution. I’ve got the same issue. All my PNs are “state”: “enqueued”, have been since migrating to 2.0.0-beta.

Tokens are created fine. The device asks for permission to send notifications. Dev pushes are set to false.

A sample response:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer MYAPIKEY" https://api.ionic.io/push/notifications

{"config": {"notification": {"message": "ASB recommends Daddy's Home (2015) because If you like Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg you'll enjoy this. Many people don't of course :p"}, "profile": "recprod", "tokens": ["85ec51c9a4b1d624557514fc523693c3464a65dc3529c1d4dee93cc399773911"]}, "uuid": "da8984f1-9b79-4790-b80e-3a877d6472bc", "state": "enqueued", "status": "locked", "created": "2016-03-29T02:53:04.088643+00:00", "app_id": "myAPPID"}

Could you attempt setting a notification to send 1-2 minutes in the future instead of instantaneously, then check if it works?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but they just went from “state”: “scheduled” to “state”: “enqueued” again.

Since I wasn’t able to solve this within a reasonable timeframe, I went for a solution that didn’t include Ionic.io instead. I used the Cordova push plugin and set up an own backend for registering devices and sending push messages to APNS / GCM. Works great, and was done in like an hour.

I’ve done the same this morning. https://github.com/Ph3nol/NotificationPusher/ to the rescue.

@ablears @gildebrand @EffakT for what it’s worth, I had the exact same problem as @ablears. Glad to know it’s not just me for once, haha.

So some days ago my token from my iPhone was always recognized as type: Android, now all my Pushes end up on state queued.

Is there something wrong with the 2.0.0-beta.0 ?

Is there any solution or fix?

I’m a big fan of Ionic as you know, but facing these challenges is something everyone hates and that scares everyone to use Ionic Push for Production. On my Blog I have about 130 comments only on Push notifications (see here), because nobody get’s this right…

The idea of Ionic.io and Push is great, but the feature should be a bit more reliable.

I got the same problem. All my notifications have status: locked and state:enqueued.
I attached a sample below.

I sign up the user. I attache the profile, the device_token also, but none of my notifications were sent. I

I am running into same issue over and over. I handle ionic push notifications in my 4 apps and its getting frustrating when it stop working without any reason. Ionic should streamline process to make it more clear to debug actual problem.

Hello,
I have the same problem:

  • no notification arrives on android (only tested on android);
  • all notifications appear as

hello @gildebrand,

Is it possible to post some code examples/configuration on how you did this ?
Would be very helpful.
Thank you any way.

14

I have had this same problem and even emailed tech support with no response! A working example would be awesome!

Robert

I could post my solution later today! To bad Ionic hasn’t done anything about this…

16

@gildebrand Thanks. That would certainly help a few people I’m sure!

@andrei_diaconescu @rgecy I wrote down some instructions over here: https://github.com/gildebrand/Ionic-push-notifications
Hope they help you :slight_smile:

18

thank you very much !

@gildebrand Thanks for the code. I actually got push notifications up and running using the new ionic.cloud setup tutorial. Before I was still using the web-platform. The new ionic docs on this seem much easier.

Thanks again,

RGecy

I have the same problem, as I can see this is a problem of Ionic or not?
someone tried to use a more stable service?
