Package broken in Meteor 1.5.1

[derwaldgeist]

Since I updated my app from Meteor 1.2 to 1.5.1, the push notifications package isn't working anymore. Safari is showing this error message on the console:

[Log] Error in Error callbackId: PushNotification599774518 : ReferenceError: Can't find variable: device (console-via-logger.js, line 173)

Hi @derwaldgeist, I'll have to look into it - also have to upgrade the cordova plugin (guessing it's up for next release of the push package)

[derwaldgeist]

Hi @raix Thanks a lot for your fast response, highly appreciated - especially in these days where a lot of atmosphere packages are abandoned. Would be great if the plugin could be updated.

BTW: Someone in the forums mentioned that installing cocoapods is a new requirement in order to make push notifications work in Meteor:

Can you confirm this? It is also mentioned on the cordova plugin page. As it wasn't mentioned in the Meteor upgrade guide, I totally missed that information.

hmm, yeah it's a build dependency for the cordova plugin - not 100% sure if we need to do an on installation check. I have also been thinking about publishing to npm instead - not sure what the best pattern would be though. (eg. having server/client code)

[derwaldgeist]

Don't think npm is capable of separating mobile and web code yet, a major drawback compared to Atmosphere packages. Since one would only need this package in the mobile app, there would be no way to exclude it from a web app. So I would still prefer this to be an Atmosphere package.

[derwaldgeist]

Did you already have time to look into this problem?

Here is some output from the Xcode console:

The video and audio device stuff is related to my WebRTC plugin. But the actual error messages seem to be related to push notifications.

[derwaldgeist]

I think I found the root cause. I didn't see that the 3.0.2 version now requires a pre-installed set of Cordova packages. My bad.

I still get an error message, though, that says (in German): Could not find a valid aps entitlement string for apps. Guess there's something missing in the configuration. Is there a kind of "upgrade guide" for 3.x? That would help me. :-)

[derwaldgeist]

Oooops. Forgot to enable Push notifications in Xcode. Seems to work now. Will now try to run it on a real server.
