Flutter SDK quick start

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

Prerequisites

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

Download the example project

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

# Navigate to example directory
cd pushwoosh-flutter/Source/pushwoosh/example

Configure the project

Install the dependencies:

flutter pub get

Open lib/main.dart and update the Pushwoosh.initialize call:

Pushwoosh.initialize({"app_id": "XXXXX-XXXXX", "sender_id": "XXXXXXXXXXXX"});

Replace the app_id and sender_id values with your Pushwoosh App Code and Firebase Project Number.

iOS

1. Install dependencies

Navigate to the ios directory and install the dependencies:

cd ios && pod install --repo-update

2. Set the Bundle Identifier

Open the ios/Runner.xcworkspace file in Xcode.

Set the Bundle Identifier for each target:

Runner: your app’s package name. (eg. com.example.pushwoosh)
NotificationService: your app’s package name with .NotificationServiceExtension (eg. com.example.pushwoosh.NotificationServiceExtension)
StopwatchWidgetExtension: your app’s package name with .StopwatchWidget (eg. com.example.pushwoosh.StopwatchWidget)

3. Set the API Token

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

Android

1. Setup google-services.json

Copy your google-services.json file to the android/app directory

2. Set the package name

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

3. Set the API Token

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.

Run the project

The app will have two tabs: “Actions” and “Settings”. Navigate to the Settings tab.
Tap the Register for Pushes button.
Grant permission for push notifications. The device will be registered with Pushwoosh.
