[Feedback]: Migration guide from 3.5.1 to 5.0.0

[Fudal]

What's on your mind?

We need migration guide from 3.5.1 to 5.0.0.

A lot of methods have been added or changed. The version jump itself testifies to this, but no migration guide has been presented to us, so users are confused.

Here is the migration guide:

https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Flutter-SDK/blob/user_model/main/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md

[Fudal]

@petodavid okay, thanks. But I can't see anywhere what should I replace these methods:

1. OneSignal.shared.setExternalUserId(userId)
2. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler((OSNotificationReceivedEvent event)
3. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler((OSNotificationOpenedResult result)
4. OneSignal.shared.promptUserForPushNotificationPermission()

[xunreal75]

Please update docs and example

target 'OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'OneSignalXCFramework', '5.0.1'
end

is necessary for iOS to get Pod installed

[emawby]

Thank you for the feedback we will work on clarifying the migration steps!

@petodavid okay, thanks. But I can't see anywhere what should I replace these methods:

1. OneSignal.shared.setExternalUserId(userId)
2. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler((OSNotificationReceivedEvent event)
3. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler((OSNotificationOpenedResult result)
4. OneSignal.shared.promptUserForPushNotificationPermission()

I have the same case like yours, did you find any solution ?

[Fudal]

@wahyu-handayani no, I'm still using 3.5.1 version

[huszm]

@Fudal @wahyu-handayani The solution from me are change OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler(_handleNotificationOpened) to OneSignal.Notifications.addClickListener(_handleNotificationOpened)

change _handleNotificationOpened(OSNotificationOpenedResult result) to _handleNotificationOpened(OSNotificationClickEvent result)

[xunreal75]

Hi this should help you to get started Onesignal V5.0.0

  if (kDebugMode) {
        OneSignal.Debug.setAlertLevel(OSLogLevel.none);
        OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(OSLogLevel.verbose);
      } else {
        OneSignal.Debug.setAlertLevel(OSLogLevel.none);
        OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(OSLogLevel.none);
      }

      OneSignal.initialize(oneSignalAppId); //init with your appid
      OneSignal.Location.setShared(false); //avoid location sharing

      OneSignal.Notifications.addForegroundWillDisplayListener((event) {
      });

      OneSignal.Notifications.addPermissionObserver((state) {
         //log.i(text: 'Accepted Onesignal permission: $state');
      });

      OneSignal.InAppMessages.addWillDisplayListener((event) {
        //log.i(text: 'inAppMessage ${event.message}');
      });

      OneSignal.Notifications.addClickListener((event) {
        //var json = action.jsonRepresentation();
        var clickName = event.result.actionId;
        var clickURL = event.notification.launchUrl;
        var title = event.notification.title;
        var body = event.notification.body;
        ...
        }

[wahyu-handayani]

@wahyu-handayani no, I'm still using 3.5.1 version

I try to install onesignal using this version, may I take a look your Podfile and NotificationService.m (inside ios/OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension/ folder) ? because I always failed when debugging in ios

[Fudal]

@wahyu-handayani

Sure, here is NotificationService.m:

@wahyu-handayani No problem ;)

I don't have that target

[wahyu-handayani]

@wahyu-handayani No problem ;)

I don't have that target

Thank you so so sooooooooo much @Fudal for your help, I am still strugling to fix one error left, your helps really makes my day

[tovidd]

1. Not sure about this OneSignal.shared.setExternalUserId
2. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler to OneSignal.Notifications.addForegroundWillDisplayListener
3. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler to OneSignal.Notifications.addClickListener
4. OneSignal.shared.promptUserForPushNotificationPermission to await OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermission(true)

I still have problem with android background notification, don't know why NotificationServiceExtension is error.

[husainazkas]

Please update migration guide as described on the comment reference. All of these methods are missing without any replacement instruction.

@petodavid okay, thanks. But I can't see anywhere what should I replace these methods:

1. OneSignal.shared.setExternalUserId(userId)
2. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler((OSNotificationReceivedEvent event)
3. OneSignal.shared.setNotificationOpenedHandler((OSNotificationOpenedResult result)
4. OneSignal.shared.promptUserForPushNotificationPermission()

[michael-joseph-payne]

I have yet to get iOS to finish building using this guide or any of the pending PR changes to it.

[Fudal]

@emawby We are still waiting for more information about right migration from 3.5.1 version.

[lukeurban]

Deprecation would be nice first. Throwing braking changes randomly to a product is a weak move NGL.

[elsegund0]

how can i fix this?

The getter 'shared' isn't defined for the type 'OneSignal'. Undefined class 'OSNotificationOpenedResult'. Undefined class 'OSNotificationReceivedEvent'.

[Fudal]

@emawby or @nan-li can you help us? I didn't find solution in example file.

[rignaneseleo]

How do I disable the foreground notifications in the new SDK? In the old one, it was:

OneSignal.shared.setNotificationWillShowInForegroundHandler((OSNotificationReceivedEvent event) {
  // Display Notification, send null to not display, send notification to display           
  event.complete(event.notification);      
}); 

In the new SDK event doesn't have the complete func.

});

Same problem here, there is event.preventDefault but its completely blocks push notification. I need the app still get notification but not showing in the foreground. Is there any solution please ?

[hosaysg]

How to retrieve tags?

[nan-li]

Hi all,

I apologize we don't have a direct v3 -> v5 migration guide yet showing the appropriate replacements. All available methods of the major release are outline here.

@tovidd is correct about the methods and the replacement for setExternalUserId is the OneSignal.login("EXT_ID") method.

To address this comment

Deprecation would be nice first. Throwing braking changes randomly to a product is a weak move NGL.

The v3.x.x OneSignal Flutter SDK is still supported, but the major release of v5.x.x does introduce breaking changes if you upgrade.

@rignaneseleo you can call preventDefault to disable foreground notifications. Please see the guide for how to use.

@nandakista Can you tell me more about this issue you are running into?

[shanelau]

How to call event.complete(null) in version 5.0.4? I need the app still get notification but not showing in the foreground.

[bugrevealingbme]

Login method is not working instead of setExternalUserId. I don't know what it does but nothing happens. Android/ios. This is important bug

[nan-li]

Hi @shanelau I apologize for the delay, we have an example in the migration guide on the Notification Will Display Listener:

OneSignal.Notifications.addForegroundWillDisplayListener((event) {
    /// preventDefault to not display the notification
    event.preventDefault();

    /// Do async work

    /// notification.display() to display after preventing default
    event.notification.display();
});

[nan-li]

Hi @bugrevealingbme,

Can you share more details about Login method is not working?

[bugrevealingbme]

Hi @bugrevealingbme,

Can you share more details about Login method is not working?

The problem was with me, I apologize for the misinformation. Externally, how do I check if a notification is clicked when the app is closed? There is not a document about it

[shanelau]

Hi @shanelau I apologize for the delay, we have an example in the migration guide on the Notification Will Display Listener:

OneSignal.Notifications.addForegroundWillDisplayListener((event) {
  /// preventDefault to not display the notification
  event.preventDefault();

  /// Do async work

  /// notification.display() to display after preventing default
  event.notification.display();
});

Nice work. It works on onesignal_flutter: ^5.1.0

[Parvxi]

event.complete(null)

did u fine a solution?

[jhandaya]

Where is postNotification method ?

final notification = OSCreateNotification(
    playerIds: listOneSignalUserId,
    androidSmallIcon: 'ic_stat_one_signal_default',
    androidLargeIcon: 'ic_stat_one_signal_default',
    content: message,
    androidSound: sound,
    heading: title,
    languageCode: 'en',
    iosAttachments: {
      "id1": imgUrlString
    },
    //url: url,
    //bigPicture: imgUrlString,
    buttons: [
      OSActionButton(text: "OK", id: "id1"),
    ]);

var response = await OneSignal.shared.postNotification(notification);

any solution to post a notification from version 5 ?
