Push notification doesn't work on ios

ionic-v1
1

I implemented ionic push within my application. It works fine in android, but does not in ios.

All my certificates are ok. Even I get the allow notification access when I open the app and generate the token successfully:

Ionic Push: saved push token: My_Token

But I don’t receive any notifications. (tested in both ios9 and ios10)

2

But you are receiving a real token, not My_Token, right?
Where are you testing? Emulator or real devices?

3

Yes, real token.
Testing in real device.

4

There is note in ionic docs:

In order to receive background push notifications, you must first enable Remote Notifications in your app.

I build my app by ionic package service. I’m not sure this feature is applied in ionic package or not!

5

The push plugin should do that as far as I know. If you want to make sure and ask someone:

Thanks.
But I don’t think the problem is related to that. Because I even don’t get notification (or trigger event) when app is open.

7

How are you sending the push?
What is the status of the push after sending?

8

I’m sending by ionic dashboard (for both android and ios).

About the status, ionic dashboard doesn’t show anything. I must test it with sending by ionic api.

9

(I think you should get an ID after sending with the UI as well and only have to check the status useing the API if I rememer correctly)

10

Right. But ionic dashboard seems have a problem. For all push messages (even in android that works fine) gives me this message:

This notification may still be processing, try back again later

11

There is a code in ionic docs about ios:

push.on('notification', function(data) {
        // do something with the push data
        // then call finish to let the OS know we are done
        push.finish(function() {
            alert("processing of push data is finished");
            }, function() {
                alert("something went wrong with push.finish for ID = " + data.additionalData.notId)
        }, data.additionalData.notId);
    });

But where push is defined? (Scroll up a bit this link to see the code)

https://docs.ionic.io/services/push/#injecting-push

DI, as always.

Thanks.

You mean I should do this:

var push = $ionicPush.register().then(function(t) {
  return $ionicPush.saveToken(t);
}).then(function(t) {
  console.log('Token saved:', t.token);
});

Or only var push = $ionicPush; ?

14

I get the following error:

Error: $ionicPush.on is not a function.
15

Oh sorry, I missed that you are on Ionic v1 - the FAQ entry only shows code for Ionic 2 I think. Switching between v1 and v2 in the docs makes no difference.

For you push would probably be $ionicPush.

16

But I get error in on method:

Error: $ionicPush.on is not a function.
