Setting up Badges for Cordova

This guide describes the process of implementing Badges for Pushwoosh Cordova plugin

Since the Cordova plugin does not contain the PWNotificationExtensionManager header, you have to perform several additional steps to implement Badges for your Cordova project.

That's what you need for setting Badges up:

1. Create Notification Service Extension

2. Add Pushwoosh framework

3. Add the App Groups capability

To implement badges for iOS Native app, please refer to the Setting up Badges guide..

1. Add Notification Service Extension (File -> New -> Target...)

2. Select the "Notification Service Extension"

3. Add Pushwoosh.xcframework to NotificationService extension target as follows:

1. Choose NotificationService extension target.

2. Go to the "General" tab.

3. Find 'Framework and Libraries' and press '+' button.

4. Select Pushwoosh.xcframework.

4. Update the Notification Service Extension code as follows:

#import "NotificationService.h"
#import "PWNotificationExtensionManager.h"

@interface NotificationService ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) void (^contentHandler)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver);
@property (nonatomic, strong) UNMutableNotificationContent *bestAttemptContent;

@end

@implementation NotificationService

- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
    self.contentHandler = contentHandler;
    self.bestAttemptContent = [request.content mutableCopy];
    
    [[PWNotificationExtensionManager sharedManager] handleNotificationRequest:request contentHandler:contentHandler];
}

- (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
    // Called just before the extension will be terminated by the system.
    // Use this as an opportunity to deliver your "best attempt" at modified content, otherwise the original push payload will be used.
    self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
}

@end

5. Add the "App Groups Capability" for each target of your application

App Groups Capability

Info.plist

6. Add the App Groups ID to your info.plist for each target of your application

<key>PW_APP_GROUPS_NAME</key>
<string>group.com.example.demoapp_example</string>
