Push Notification Setup – iOS

Prerequisites

• Must have an iOS developer account
• In order to configure brainCloud to send notifications to your iOS app, you will need to provide a p12 certificate file. Follow these steps to create a p12 file for your app.

brainCloud Portal Configuration

• Log into the brainCloud portal
• Navigate to Notifications | Settings in the design tab for your app
• Click on the edit button for the Apple notification settings
• Upload your p12 file and enter the password that was used to create the p12 file into the dialog
• Notice that once you’ve done that, the type of certificate shows up (production/sandbox) as well as the expiry date

Unity Code Example

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.iOS;

public class App : MonoBehaviour
{
    private BrainCloudWrapper _bc;
    private string _wrapperName = "default";
    
    bool tokenSent;
    void Start()
    {
        // Unity
        GameObject go = new GameObject();
        _bc = go.AddComponent<BrainCloudWrapper>();
        _bc.WrapperName = _wrapperName; // optionally set a wrapper-name
        _bc.Init(); // extra data, such as: _appId, _secret and _appVersion, is taken from the brainCloud Unity Plugin.
        DontDestroyOnLoad(go); // keep the brainCloud game object through scene changes
     
        
        // Authenticate your user with brainCloud 
        _bc.AuthenticateAnonymous((response, cbObject) =>
            {
                Debug.Log(string.Format("[Auth Success] {0}", response));
                
            },
            (status, code, error, cbObject) =>
            {
                Debug.Log(string.Format("[Auth Failed] {0}  {1}  {2}", status, code, error));
            });
        
        
        tokenSent = false;
        UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.RegisterForNotifications(
            NotificationType.Alert |
            NotificationType.Badge |
            NotificationType.Sound);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        
        if (!tokenSent)
        {
            byte[] token = UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.deviceToken;
            
            // When token exists, and brainCloud is Authenticated
            if (token != null && _bc.Client.Authenticated)
            {
                // Send the token to brainCloud
                _bc.PushNotificationService.RegisterPushNotificationDeviceToken(
                    token, 
                    (response, cbObject) =>
                    {
                        Debug.Log(string.Format("[Register Success] {0}", response));
                    },    ((status, code, error, cbObject) =>
                    {
                        Debug.Log(string.Format("[Register Failed] {0}  {1}  {2}", status, code, error));
                    }));
                
                tokenSent = true;
            }
        }
    }
