How to use?

It is easy to use the Mobile Pushwoosh plugin, you will only need to follow the steps below.

1. The first step is to add the Mobile Pushwoosh object into the project.


2. The next step is to select the Mobile Pushwoosh object and go to the Properties Bar.



3. Input your Pushwoosh App ID into the App ID field in the configuration section. You can find this from the Pushwoosh Control Panel, on the apllications list, shown for each application.


4. Input your Project ID, which is now the FCM Sender ID. You can get this value from following this guide.


5. Input your MPNS - Service Name. The Microsoft Push Notification Service Name. For Windows support.


6. If you want to log errors into the console during mobile debugging. Set the Debug Mode to Enabled.


Reminder:

Ever since the Mobile Notifications SDK Update Compliance with the new Google Requirements. There are now additional steps in supporting the Mobile Notifications, this is a release patch starting Release 6.1.


Before this new compliance update, we could build directly without additional configuration, but now we need to do more steps to support notifications, as per required by Google.

The additional configuration setup guide is in the next section below.



Additional Configuration


The Mobile Notifications now has a new SDK Compliance setup requirement since Release 6.1 due to a new Google requirement. It is no longer a one-click build, although we do have a new more popular replacement for those who need a simple one-click build, using the Mobile OneSignal.


Step 1



Whitelist the .pushwoosh.com domain in the config.xml file:

  • From this: <access origin="*" />

  • To this: <access origin="*" /> <access origin="*.pushwoosh.com" />


Step 2


Get the google-services.json from the Firebase Console as described here. Then, add it to your project.


You just include it at the base/root, inside of the .zip of your exported Cordova Project. ( You can unpack and repack it back to .zip )

​

The next step is to edit the config.xml for it to recognize the new file.


Step 3


Add the following section to your config.xml:


This is how the content of the config.xml would look like.

<platform name="android">

<resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />

...

</platform> This is how the content of the config.xml would look like before. The (...) indicates the properties that are already written there beforehand, you wouldn't want to accidentally remove them.

<platform name="android">

...

</platform> This is how the config.xml would now look like after the changes added. <platform name="android">

<resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />

...

</platform> The highlighted text is the added property.

Step 4

Finally, you're done, you can now build using the C3 Build Service, Volt Builder or PhoneGap.

You can also use local build options including the Cordova CLI, Android Studio, XCode or Visual Studio.

​

If you are having issues with this deprecated plugin, please consider using the better, most popular and latest plugin options, the Mobile OneSignal plugin for push notifications and Mobile Notification for local mobile notifications.

Documentation

Documentation

Pushwoosh is the service used by the Mobile Pushwoosh plugin for push notifications. It requires you to setup the Pushwoosh Control Panel for you to take full advantage of all its features.


To get started, create an account. Then, follow this guide. It's a step-by-step walk-through in using the Pushwoosh Control Panel for the following:


There are many features to explore with Pushwoosh. I recommend browsing the documentation yourself, and see what interests you. Click here for the documentation directory.


Android Setup


To setup for your Android, you only need to get the Firebase API key and FCM Sender ID from your Firebase Application Console to your Pushwoosh Control Panel > Android Application > Configure.

​

It's a very easy procedure, click here to see the full setup process (with images).

Remember to keep note of the FCM Sender ID, it will be used to input in your Mobile Pushwoosh plugin's Sender ID field property.

​

Review the entire Android Setup documentation too, it contains other implementation setups that you might need that isn't covered by this guide.


iOS Setup


To setup for your iOS, you need to configure push notifications on Apple's side. Follow the guide to configure iOS manually or use the Auto Configuration feature. You might also want to configure the iOS Rich Notifications Integration, the guide covers all the necessary steps to smoothly integrate your application.

​

Review the entire iOS Setup documentation too, it contains other implementation setup that you might need that isn't covered in this guide.


Android : GCM to FCM migration


If you have an application that uses the old Pushwoosh from the time when GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) was used instead of FCM (Fire Cloud Messaging), then please click the link to visit the migration guide.​ Remember that the you will also have to change the Project ID property field in the Mobile Pushwoosh plugin with the FCM Sender ID instead of the old Google Project Number. ​ After that, you're all set.



Notification Customization


The Mobile Pushwoosh plugin's push notifications and local mobile notifications can be customized. If you wish to customize the plugin's notifications, then please click to visit the customization guide which contains all the information and steps in notification customizations so that you'll have the freedom to make your awesome notification styles.
