Swift Package Manager Setup
Pushwoosh iOS SDK setup with Swift Package Manager (Xcode 13+)
Pushwoosh SDK iOS integration (Swift Package Manager)
- Real device with iOS 9 and later. The Xcode simulator doesn't support push notifications so you must test on a real device.
- A Mac with a new version of Xcode.
1. Open your project in Xcode and Navigate to the project's settings -> Package Dependencies -> and press '+' button.
Package Dependencies
2. Enter following Package URL:
If you want to use PushwooshGeozones.xcframework, enter the following Package URL:
3. Set up Dependency Rule to: Branch and master. And click Add Package button.
4. On the next screen to choose your Package, select the Pushwoosh Package and Add Package to your main app Target.
5. Open your Main App Target and under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content ensure that the Pushwoosh iOS SDK has been added.
SwiftPM
6. Well done! You've just integrated Pushwoosh SDK to your project.
1. Select the root project (1), your main app target (2), then go to the Signing and Capabilities tab.
2. Press + Capability button (3) and select the Push Notifications capability.
3. Then, add the Background Modes capability and check the Remote notifications check box (4).
Required Capabilities
4. Well done! Xcode capabilities configuration completed.
XCODE 13 Time Sensitive notifications
If you want to send Time Sensitive notifications, add the Time Sensitive Notifications capability (read more about time sensitive push notifications here).
Time Sensitive Notifications
There is an API method in Pushwoosh that tracks the delivery of push notifications. iOS apps do not support this method out of the box as push notifications in iOS are handled by the OS, not by Pushwoosh SDK. However, you can implement delivery tracking by adding the Pushwoosh Notification Service Extension for push delivery tracking to your project. Here you'll find the steps to implement Message Delivery Tracking for iOS apps.
Available on iOS 10.0 and later
1. Add Notification Service Extension
1.1. In Xcode, Select File > New > Target...
1.2. Select Notification Service Extension and press Next.
1.3 Enter the product name and press Finish.
Do not select Activate on the dialog that is shown after pressing Finish.
Press Cancel on the Activate scheme prompt.
By canceling, you are keeping Xcode debugging your app, instead of the extension you just created. If you activated it by accident, you can switch back to debug your app within Xcode.
2. Add code for tracking message delivery events
2.1 Add the following code to your NotificationService.m file:
Swift
Objective-C
import UserNotifications
import Pushwoosh
class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?
var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?
override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
// Pushwoosh **********
PWNotificationExtensionManager.shared().handle(request, contentHandler: contentHandler)
// ********************
self.contentHandler = contentHandler
bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent)
if let bestAttemptContent = bestAttemptContent {
// Modify the notification content here...
bestAttemptContent.title = "\(bestAttemptContent.title) [modified]"
contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
}
}
override func 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.
if let contentHandler = contentHandler, let bestAttemptContent = bestAttemptContent {
contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
}
}
}
#import "PWNotificationExtensionManager.h"
@interface NotificationService : UNNotificationServiceExtension
@end
@implementation NotificationService
- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
// Pushwoosh **********
[[PWNotificationExtensionManager sharedManager] handleNotificationRequest:request contentHandler:contentHandler];
//*********************
}
@end
2.2 Add Pushwoosh_APPID to your Notification Service Extension info.plist.
<key>Pushwoosh_APPID</key>
<string>XXXXX-XXXXX</string>
App Groups Capability
Info.plist
4.1 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>
4.2 If you do not want to use the info.plist file, use the method below and add the code to your NotificationServiceExtension class:
Swift
Objective-C
PWNotificationExtensionManager.shared().handle(request, withAppGroups: "group.com.example.demoapp_example")
[[PWNotificationExtensionManager sharedManager] handleNotificationRequest:request withAppGroups:@"group.com.example.demoapp_example"];
- 1.Add the following code to your AppDelegate class:
Swift
Objective-C
import Pushwoosh
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, PWMessagingDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
//initialization code
//set custom delegate for push handling, in our case AppDelegate
Pushwoosh.sharedInstance()?.delegate = self;
//register for push notifications
Pushwoosh.sharedInstance()?.registerForPushNotifications()
return true
}
//handle token received from APNS
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
Pushwoosh.sharedInstance()?.handlePushRegistration(deviceToken)
}
//handle token receiving error
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
Pushwoosh.sharedInstance()?.handlePushRegistrationFailure(error);
}
//this is for iOS < 10 and for silent push notifications
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
Pushwoosh.sharedInstance()?.handlePushReceived(userInfo)
completionHandler(.noData)
}
//this event is fired when the push gets received
func pushwoosh(_ pushwoosh: Pushwoosh!, onMessageReceived message: PWMessage!) {
print("onMessageReceived: ", message.payload.description)
}
//this event is fired when a user taps the notification
func pushwoosh(_ pushwoosh: Pushwoosh!, onMessageOpened message: PWMessage!) {
print("onMessageOpened: ", message.payload.description)
}
}
#import <Pushwoosh/Pushwoosh.h>
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//-----------PUSHWOOSH PART-----------
// set custom delegate for push handling, in our case AppDelegate
[Pushwoosh sharedInstance].delegate = self;
//register for push notifications!
[[Pushwoosh sharedInstance] registerForPushNotifications];
return YES;
}
//handle token received from APNS
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
[[Pushwoosh sharedInstance] handlePushRegistration:deviceToken];
}
//handle token receiving error
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error {
[[Pushwoosh sharedInstance] handlePushRegistrationFailure:error];
}
//this is for iOS < 10 and for silent push notifications
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application
didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
[[Pushwoosh sharedInstance] handlePushReceived:userInfo];
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNoData);
}
//this event is fired when the push gets received
- (void)pushwoosh:(Pushwoosh *)pushwoosh onMessageReceived:(PWMessage *)message {
NSLog(@"onMessageReceived: %@", message.payload);
}
//this event is fired when user taps the notification
- (void)pushwoosh:(Pushwoosh *)pushwoosh onMessageOpened:(PWMessage *)message {
NSLog(@"onMessageOpened: %@", message.payload);
}
@end
2. In your Info.plist, add a string type key
Pushwoosh_APPID with your Pushwoosh Application Code as a value.<key>Pushwoosh_APPID</key>
<string>XXXXX-XXXXX</string>
Replace XXXXX-XXXXX with your Pushwoosh APP ID
3. Well Done! Now you can send your first push notification!
