Push PHP - No errors, no push delivered. cURL works ok!

[Copyrightsworld]

Thank you @gfosco . I did what you said on #421 and now i get no errors.

Here is the trick though. When i use the cURL code from http://blog.parse.com/announcements/parse-server-push-notifications/ to test my server, i DO receive the notification on my phone.

When i try to push via code (php), i get NO errors on my heroku logs, but no notification is delivered (this code was working when i was on Parse hosting).

Any thoughts on that?

Thnx again.

@globyworks can you paste your PHP code ? I got some troubles making my Parse push notifications to work with my parse-server with PHP, but now, everything works for me.

If you put your code, I will maybe be able to help you 👍

Thank you @fraxool for the reply.

Here is my code:

$data = array(
"alert" => "message",
"badge" => "Increment",
"sound" => "cheering.caf",
"title" => "title",
"fix_id"=> $fix_id, 'these are some custom parameters i pass
"n_t"=>"2" 'these are some custom parameters i pass
);

ParsePush::send(array(
"channels" => "channel name",
"data" => $data
),true);

Hi @fraxool again.
Just something to add to the info. When i use the cURL code to send the push, the push gets delivered to my phone.
Heroku logs thought outputs this:
"2016-02-25T14:56:08.805902+00:00 app[web.1]: APNS Connection 0 Notification transmitted to 8199bb4102cd2097404ed6d067ab3fa92654d9e8df531a0010c024d2b58a4d96
2016-02-25T14:56:08.703136+00:00 app[web.1]: APNS Connection 0 Connected"

I find this strange.

PHP code still returns no errors but sends no push.

Tnx.

Hi @globyworks

Sorry for the delay. In fact, just after I posted my message, I tested the notification on my phone and it didn't work anymore. After a few moments, I detected that my Apple certificate was not valid anymore.

About your issue, I see something strange in your PHP code, not sure if it's that (since I don't use notifications with channels) but you should try :

ParsePush::send(array(
"channels" => ["channel name"],
"data" => $data
),true);

From the documentation, it seems like the channels have to be set as an array.

Let me know if it fixes it or not.

[Copyrightsworld]

My bad here. When i pasted the code, i changed the channel name but forgot to enter the [].
So, this is what i have in my code and it does not work.

I was thinking that maybe the Certification, but again, if the certifications was the problem, then the cURL code would not work either, right ?

[gfosco]

@globyworks can you set the environment variable VERBOSE=1 and make the curl request and the PHP request and compare the requests made to the server?

A difference i spot, is that the cURL uses the Application-id as well, when php request uses only the master key. Not sure is that makes any actual difference though.

Any ideas ?

[Copyrightsworld]

@gfosco @fraxool did you spot anything else on the logs above?

[mtrezza]

I have a similar issue in cloud code, the push gets delivered with a cURL but not in cloud code. Also I don't receive any server log in Heroku for the push in cloud code.

[fraxool]

Ok, I'm finally having the issue too from the Javascript Cloud Code on an Heroku server. The push notification is sent but not received on the targeted device.

Here is what I have in my Heroku log :

2016-03-03T12:46:07.623024+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=POST path="/parse/functions/sendPush" host=xxxx.herokuapp.com request_id=REQUEST_ID fwd="IP_ADDRESS" dyno=web.1 connect=2ms service=132ms status=200 bytes=469

Hope someone will find a fix for this!

[flovilmart]

It seems that you didn't configure correctly the android key in the push configuration

[Copyrightsworld]

@fraxool I did have the same issue. What was happening in my case was that the code was pushing to the wrong channel. When i corrected that, everything looks like working now. (im testing on iOS only atm.)
