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.

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.)
