gurjit_onebcg · May 19, 2017, 11:12am

Hi everyone, Can you pls help me out to figure out this problem, I am new to IONIC , creating push notification application.
The application platform added successfully in windows for android, but in mac I failed with this message.

You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

seems no body here to reply

Igorfostrapp06 · May 22, 2017, 7:29pm

hey,

Im having the same issue… Im tired of this…

gurjit_onebcg · May 23, 2017, 3:13am

Finally I resolved this issue by doing following things , as it was mismatch versions issue

sudo npm uninstall -g cordova
sudo npm uninstall -g ionic

npm install -g ionic@2.2.3
npm install -g cordova@7.0.1

delete npm module and platform folder

then, run npm install, or further your plugins.
create platform
build

Hope this will help you

amitk04 · May 23, 2017, 4:40am

I just solved this issue.
You need to install pod files for push notification in OSX.
you need to use this command “pod install” at path “project/platforms/ios”.
make sure you have the file named Podfile or pods.json

Sujan12 · May 23, 2017, 8:11am

This doesn’t really make sense. If you have Ionic CLI v3 or v2.2.3 installed makes no difference for plugin installation (besides the command to use). Both just pass it off to Cordova in the background to execute the command.

gurjit_onebcg · May 23, 2017, 10:40am

In my case it worked, because the cause of issue can be different as in my case it was some plugins version issue. As it was fixed when I reinstall the ionic to lower version which matched with the cordova plugin which I installed in previous case

Sujan12 · May 23, 2017, 10:44am

Sorry, I am happy for you that it worked, but Ionic CLI (v2 and v3) has no connection to a specific cordova version, plugin version or anything - that is all completely independent of Ionic CLI.

Igorfostrapp06 · May 23, 2017, 7:10pm

yep i confirm. I had to first remove ios, update pod and then install… tired of this

revet · May 30, 2017, 11:45am

Hi,
I have the same issue, someone solved it?
I got this error: "Plugin doesn’t support this project’s cordova-ios version. cordova-ios: 4.3.1, failed version requirement: >=4.4.0"
and can’t update the cordova-ios version

ravi_sojitra · May 30, 2017, 1:17pm

I had the same error and i changed plugin just because i couldn’t update cordova-ios version.

use cordova-plugin-fcm plugin.
Here is tutorial

http://simonwillshire.com/blog/Ionic-2-FCM-Notifications/

It’s working perfectly.

revet · May 30, 2017, 2:14pm

Thanks, I’ll try it

revet · May 31, 2017, 3:20pm

Hi,
when I tried to add ‘cordova-plugin-fcm’ plugin I got “Error: Invalid data, chunk must be a string or buffer, not object”, do you know what is mean?
Thanks!

ravi_sojitra · June 1, 2017, 4:11am

Make sure you download google-services.json file from firebase console after creating
API key at platform/android and root folder of your project.

If you have that file placed, make sure that file contains valid API key or else try creating new Key and replace new google-services.json file.

Thanks.

gurjit_onebcg · June 1, 2017, 11:50am

@ravi_sojitra Thanks it seems this will work. But while running it in simulator I faced this error

If you are using the plist file, use the iOS version of bundle identifier to download the file, and do not manually edit the GOOGLE_APP_ID. You may change your app’s bundle identifier to ‘(null)’. Or you can download a new configuration file that matches your bundle identifier from https://console.firebase.google.com/ and replace the current one.

I have compared the bundle id which is right.
Can you please help me out to fix this?
Thanks

ravi_sojitra · June 1, 2017, 1:19pm

Remove the GoogleService-Info.plist file and download new file from firebase console for ios.
Replace that new file .

gurjit_onebcg · June 1, 2017, 4:37pm

@ravi_sojitra I already done this, but didn’t work.
I think I should create new bundle id and then new project in firebase console and try again.
Also I moved with APN auth .p8 certificate, so that now I don’t care about ssl certificates etc.

Any suggesting pls

ravi_sojitra · June 2, 2017, 3:50am

Did you upload .p12 development and ditribution certificate in firebase while linking ios app?
Because without that you’re not gonna get notification.

gurjit_onebcg · June 2, 2017, 4:57am

I faced a server error while uploading .p12 and prvisonal files. Put the bug to FCM support. They asked me to use auth p8 based certification as its more easy way of authentication. I did, but still I am facing same issue on running in simulator

gurjit_onebcg · June 2, 2017, 7:16am

@ravi_sojitra issue resolved

Thanks for great idea ( FCM) instead of IONIC cloud which is not much feasible for iOS push notification process.

Mine issue fixed when I copied manually .plist file in resources folder which was getting corrupted on build

Only one issue left.

Can you please tell me that is that necessary that we could get notification only on those devices which are registered to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/
