PushNotification.createChannel is not a function

[madc0w]

The following code, copied directly from the docs:

    PushNotification.createChannel(() => {
        console.log("Channel created");
    }, () => {
        clientUtils.logError("Failed to create channel", true);
    }, {
        id : Meteor.userId(), // the same Id for this channel must be sent from the server
        description : "Spoticle notification channel",
        importance : 3,
        vibration : true,
    });

results in :

TypeError: PushNotification.createChannel is not a function

in versions file: raix:push@3.4.1

[shivang007]

It should work without createChannel, remove that and try again. I will update the docs.

[madc0w]

I've removed the offending lines above, but I am receiving no push notifications on Android. Am I also meant to remove references to android_channel_id?

Here is my code:

client

        Push.Configure({
            android : {
                senderID : Meteor.settings.public.gcmSenderId,
                alert : true,
                badge : true,
                sound : true,
                icon : "ic_stat_icon_005_alpha_only",
                iconColor : "#00b3ff"
            },
            ios : {
                alert : true,
                badge : true,
                sound : true
            }
        });

        Push.enabled(true);

server:

        Push.Configure({
            apn : {
                certData : Assets.getText(apsCertFilename),
                keyData : Assets.getText(apsKeyFilename),
            gcm : {
                apiKey : Meteor.settings.private.gcmApiKey,
            },
            production : true,
            sound : true,
            badge : true,
            alert : true,
            vibrate : true,
        });

    Push.addListener("error", function(err) {
        console.error("error on push: " + err);  // no error is received here
    });

            const notif = {
                android_channel_id : user._id ,
                from : "push",
                title : titleText,
                text : messageText,
                badge : badge,
                sound : "airhorn.caf",
                payload : {
                    text : messageText,
                    id : id,
                    type : parentType
                },
                gcm : {
                    style : "inbox",
                    summaryText : summaryText
                },
                query : {
                    userId: user._id
                }
            };
            try {
                Push.send(notif);
                // we see this in the log
                console.log("sent push notification to " + (user ? user.username + " (" + user._id + ")" : "all users")); // + " : \n" + JSON.stringify(notif));
            } catch (err) {
                // no error is thrown here.
                console.error("Failed push notification", notif);
                console.error(err);
            }

Note that the _raix_push_app_tokens collection contains no entry for my userId. I suppose this must be the reason for the failure. Is there something else I should be doing to create this entry?

[shivang007]

@madc0w you can remove android_channel_id from your notif object, it wont affect the functionality. Also have you allowed the security allow/deny? And the Push configuration has to be inside Meteor.startup() for both client and server side.

i.e your server's config.js should be like

Meteor.startup(() => {
   Push.debug = false;
   Push.Configure({
     gcm: {
       apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
       projectNumber: YOUR_SENDER_ID
     },
     apn: {
       certData: Assets.getText('meteorApp-cert-prod.pem'),
       keyData: Assets.getText('meteorApp-key-prod.pem'),
       passphrase: 'YOUR_PASS_PHRASE',
       production: true,
       gateway: 'gateway.push.apple.com',
     },
     sound: true
   });

  /*security allow/deny*/
  Push.allow({
     send: (userId, notification) => {
       // allow all users to send notifications
       return true;
     }
   });
 });

[madc0w]

I replaced the server config with the one you specified.

I still have no entry for a new user in the _raix_push_app_tokens collection. Of course, no notification is received. Instead, now the server simply crashes when Push.send is called. Here is what I see in the server log:

2019-02-13 09:01:04+01:00 13 Feb 08:01:04 - uncaughtException: e1c84cb7781f47c7b6f044529bd30b4f

I also get this strange little message from Sentry:

Error: [sprintf] huh?

I hope this give you a clue... I'm not sure where to go from here.

By the way, here are the versions of everything that we are using: phonegap-plugin-push@2.2.3 cordova-plugin-device@2.0.2 raix:push@3.4.1

[shivang007]

The errors are not helpful, but change the plugin versions. I am using:

phonegap-plugin-push@2.1.3
cordova-plugin-device@1.1.6

Also what is your meteor version?

[madc0w]

Hi again,

Meteor 1.8.0.2

I'll try again with the specific versions you indicated. Will report back later.

[madc0w]

Using the versions you suggest results in this failure when building the APK:

[shivang007]

That's an expected error and your meteor version is ok, I'm also on 1.8. Just follow the Updates For Android 8.0 steps on the main page https://github.com/raix/push

Also, when you follow the steps remember to open your build.gradle in android studio instead of editor and build there, that will give you the proper information of what's happening step by step.

Ping me if you get stuck at any point.

[madc0w]

Thanks for the tip, but I don't find any file named "build.gradle" in my project. Where should I expect to find this?

Also, the first line under the "Updates for Android 8.0" section you cite states:

Meteor must be version 1.6.1

I assume this is meant to say "1.6.1 or above"?

The next line reads

Cordova Android must be version 6.3.0 Cordova IOS must be version 4.5.0

To what do these version numbers refer, exactly? Where can I find them?

And then, of course, there is this bit:

Changes for the API: On the client make sure you add a android channel:

PushNotification.createChannel(

and

Add the android_channel_id so the Push message like below:

As we already saw, the PushNotification.createChannel function does not exist. I assume this advice will still be irrelevant after these manipulations?

One more thing: Assuming I manage to execute this procedure, can we then go back to using our normal build script: meteor build --mobile-settings $settingsFile --verbose ~/spoticle-build --server=$server or must we now go through this whole process each time we do a meteor reset??

Thanks for your help so far!

[shivang007]

1. After you build your project locally using meteor --settings your_settings.js run android-device, you can find this file at YOUR_PROJECT_DIR/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/android

2. Yes it means 1.6.1 or above. And if you read the next line you will see that meteor 1.6.1 takes care of these versions (don't need to do anything about this, meteor 1.8 takes care of this).

3. The android_channel_id is required for android 8 - Oreo, but it is working fine without this (For me it's working in production), so it's ok if you don't follow that android_channel_id step.

4. This will work until you delete your .meteor/local folder. Also once you finish this process and build locally, you can use your normal build script meteor build --mobile-settings $settingsFile --verbose ~/your-build --server=$server and your apk will have the working push functionality.

As suggested in the docs, I tried adding :

  }
}

configurations {
  all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v13'
}

to the build.gradle file. I put these lines at the end of the file, after the line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

I don't know if this is the right place, as the docs don't specify.

The funny thing is, exactly one of my various attempts to build did actually succeed, but since then, I've been unable to reproduce this success.

Also, I'm not sure why I installed Android Studio. It seems like all the manipulations needed here are only in this one build.gradle file. Why is Android Studio needed? Am I missing something??

I've tried following the advice given in this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45095467/cannot-add-task-processdebuggoogleservices-as-a-task-with-that-name-already-e which suggested removing the line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

which I had added according to the raix:push docs. Doing so results in:

I should mention that each build test takes 10 minutes, so this process is fairly taxing.

Maybe you could provide a working example of a build.gradle file?

[shivang007]

The build should not take that much time (at max 1 - 1.5 min) and android studio is not compulsory. Have you added your google-services.json file in cordova-build/platforms/android ?

[madc0w]

Thanks for the speedy reply! You've been great so far.

I didn't see any mention of this google-services.json file in the raix:push docs. I've now downloaded this file from google and added it in the path you specified above.

No effect. Still:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
> Cannot add task ':processDebugGoogleServices' as a task with that name already exists.

and, as before, commenting out the line as above results in this error being replaced with

Execution failed for task ':processReleaseGoogleServices'.
> Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 11.6.2.

So, no change.

[shivang007]

Alright, I deleted everything and started fresh from a clone of my project. Follow these steps exactly:

1. Change your meteor version to 1.8 instead of 1.8.0.2 (This might be the one causing problem, also keep the phonegap-plugin-push and cordova-plugin-device versions same as mine).

2. Delete your local folder inside .meteor

3. Run meteor --settings your_settings_file.json run android-device You will receive an error here:

   FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
   
   * What went wrong:
   Could not resolve all files for configuration ':debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find support-v4.jar (com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0).
   Searched in the following locations:
   https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/support-v4/26.1.0/support-v4-26.1.0.jar

4. Place your google-services.json file at .meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/android.

5. Open build.gradle file located at above position and make these changes:

Added dependencies (around line 34 you will find this):

dependencies {
        //Below my existing dependencies I added these 2:
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.1'
}

At the end of the file I added

configurations.all {
  resolutionStrategy {
    force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
  }
}

configurations {
  all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v13'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

6. Again run meteor --settings your_settings_file.json run android-device I received an error:

   FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
   
   * What went wrong:
   A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
   > Cannot add task ':processDebugGoogleServices' as a task with that name already exists.

7. Removed the apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' from build.gradle.

8. Now run meteor --settings your_settings_file.json run android-device

No errors now, successfully installed my app in mobile.

[madc0w]

After some very tedious trial and error, we finally found our culprit. This guy: https://github.com/samzilverberg/cordova-mixpanel-plugin

As explained here https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/INSTALLATION.md#common-errors if a cordova plugin (the above cited Mixpanel plugin, in this case) fail to make proper use of gradle, then the build will crash. You can try it yourself in your test project to confirm. Just:

meteor add cordova:cordova-plugin-mixpanel@4.5.2

and then

meteor build --mobile-settings $settingsFile --verbose ~/apk-test-build --server=$server

If you're like me, you will see:

Execution failed for task ':processReleaseGoogleServices'.

I think this has nothing to do with raix:push or phonegap-push-plugin, but rather this crappy Mixpanel plugin is to blame.

Anyway, a million thanks for your help and patience. Now that we can build the APK, we will continue testing.

[shivang007]

Glad to be of help! Also when you test, you might find your app icon from notification-tray missing, follow https://github.com/raix/push/pull/359#issuecomment-459061452 for that.

[madc0w]

Just in case anyone else is interested, I opened an issue with cordova-mixpanel-plugin regarding this.

Here is the link: https://github.com/samzilverberg/cordova-mixpanel-plugin/issues/98

After removing the offending Mixpanel plugin, I can now build the APK, but now, attempting to run on device yields the following:

=> Started your app.                          

=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/

Anyway... the fun never stops.

[shivang007]

Did you get any success with this?

[madc0w]

Since you asked... not so much.

It seems I'm not alone with this issue, but the responses I've seen are all over the map, and I've yet to find one that would be relevant to my very simple test.

https://github.com/raix/push/issues/363

If you have the inclination, feel free to give it a try: https://github.com/madc0w/push-test

[shivang007]

Sure, I will give it a try.

[shivang007]

Works for me xD

@shivang007 when i'm triggering Push.send() from server side. its not inserting anything to my DB, but i can see there is 2 collection named: _raix_push_app_tokens & _raix_push_notifications. neither i get any notification. i followed from here: https://github.com/raix/push/issues/361#issuecomment-463692629

[meroo36]

Dont add the sdk's which firebase wants you to add. Because theyr already added by raix phonegap push etc plugins. So when you try add the sdk's to main gradles by hand, it has errors cus it duplicated.

And here is why you get the PushNotification is not defined.

Push notification is defined on the cordova side so when you try to call it on web its says its not defined. My advice is call Meteor.isCordova before your PushNotification .createChannel so you will get no error.

I hope it works.
