iOS helloPush Sample Application for IBM Cloud Push Notifications Service


This iOS helloPush sample contains an Swift project that you can use to learn more about the IBM Cloud Push Notification Service.

Contents

Prerequisites

  • iOS 8.0+
  • Xcode 9.3 (9E145)
  • Swift 4.1

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

Create an instance of IBM Cloud Push Notifications Service

  • Create an instance of IBM Cloud Push Notifications Service and configure it .

Download and setup the sample

  • Clone the sample from Github with the following command:

      git clone https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-samples-swift-hellopush.git
    

Setup cocoapods or carthage

Navigate to the HelloPush folder and do the following,

Cocoa Pods
  1. If the CocoapPods client is not installed, install it using the following command: sudo gem install Cocoapods
  2. If the CocoaPods repository is not configured, configure it using the following command: pod setup
  3. Run the pod install command to download and install the required dependencies.
  4. Open the Xcode workspace: HelloPush.xcworkspace . From now on, open the xcworkspace file since it contains all the dependencies and configuration.
  5. Open the BMSPushRegister.swift and add the IBM Cloud push notification service credentials
let cloudRegion = BMSClient.Region.usSouth
let pushAppGUID = "27ee87ce-ed4c-4167-XXXX-XXXXXXX"
let pushClientSecret = "813a430f-XXXXX-XXXXXX-b8e0-XXXXXXXXX"
let userId = "David"
let customeDeviceId = "DavidmobiledeviceId"
let pushVariables = ["username":"David","accountNumber":"3564758697057869"]

Modify the options code in the sample

Check the getPushOptions() method in BMSPushRegister.swift and add the options you need.

Run the sample app

For push notifications to work successfully, you must run the helloPush sample on a physical iOS device. You will also need a valid APNs enabled bundle id, provisioning profile, and development certificate.

When you run the application, you will see a single view application with a "Register for Push" Switch. When you click this switch the application will attempt to register the device and application to the Push Notification Service. The app uses an text view to display the registration status (successful or failed).

Now, switch over to the IBM Cloud Push Notifications service and open the service dashboard. Navigate to 'Send Notifications' and send a notification. You could either send a broadcast notification or a notification targeted to iOS platform so that a notification is sent to the helloPush Swift application. When a push notification is received and the application is in the foreground, an alert is displayed showing the notification's content.
