Cordova SDK quick start

Get started with the Pushwoosh Cordova SDK using this quick and simple example

To integrate the Pushwoosh Cordova SDK into your app, you will need the following:

# Clone the SDK repository and navigate to the example project
git clone https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin.git

# Navigate to example directory
cd pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin/example/newdemo/

Install the dependencies:

npm i

Add the Pushwoosh plugin:

cordova plugin add ../../ --link --nofetch

Open www/js/index.js and update the pushwoosh.onDeviceReady call:

pushwoosh.onDeviceReady({
    appid: "XXXXX-XXXXX",
    projectid: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
});

Replace the appid and projectid values with your Pushwoosh App Code and Firebase Project Number.

Open the platforms/ios/newdemo.xcworkspace file in Xcode.

Set the Bundle Identifier for each target:

• newdemo: your app’s package name. (eg. com.example.pushwoosh)

To enable Push Notifications, you need to add certain capabilities.

In the Signing & Capabilities section, add the following capabilities:

• Push Notifications
• Background Modes. After adding this capability, check the box for Remote notifications.

In your ios/newdemo/Info.plist set the Pushwoosh_API_TOKEN key to the Pushwoosh Device API Token

Copy your google-services.json file to the root directory of the project

Open android/app/build.gradle and set the applicationId to your app’s package name. (eg. com.example.pushwoosh)

Open your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following metadata inside the <application> tag:

<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.apitoken" android:value="__YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_DEVICE_API_TOKEN__" />

Replace __YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_DEVICE_API_TOKEN__ with your Pushwoosh Device API Token.

1. Build and run the project.
2. Toggle the Register for notifications switch.
3. Grant permission for push notifications. The device will be registered with Pushwoosh.

Go back to the Pushwoosh Control Panel and send a push notification to your registered device.
