Windows unregisterDevice returns null

[TimKolberger]

Environment: Cordova 4.2 with the latest pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin on the windows platform. It is possible to register the device, and to receive push notifications (see #219 ) But it is not possible to unregister the device:

var pushNotification = cordova.require("pushwoosh-cordova-plugin.PushNotification");`
pushNotification.unregisterDevice(
            function (status) {
                console.log('success', status);
            },
            function (status) {
                console.log('failure', status); // -> status = null
            }
);

Hi,

it is not possible to unregister the device

Do you mean that 'success' callback is never returned?

console.log('failure', status); // -> status = null

pushNotification.unregisterDevice will never return a 'failure', it always returns 'success' in any case.

The PluginProxy function unregisterDevice always returns an error, because this.service.unsubscribeFromPushes() needs two parameters (throws exception).

pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin/src/windows/PushwooshPluginProxy.js:44

unregisterDevice: function(success, fail) {
        this.service.unsubscribeFromPushes();
        success();
    },

I edited the PluginProxy to use the success and failure handler:

EDITED: PushwooshPluginProxy.js:44

unregisterDevice: function(success, fail) {
        this.service.unsubscribeFromPushes(success, fail);
    },

In either way, the unregister function does not have any effect.

any news on this issue?

Hi,

Callbacks are working fine with a native plugin and devices are being unregistered. With WinJS these callbacks are not being called (due to WinJS mechanics, and it is out of our control).

We have tested it and unregisterDevice is indeed unregistering a device as expected. The failure callback issue actually known for some time, so unregisterDevice for Cordova Windows plugin always calls success() and at the moment it is the only possible option.
