Rocket chat cordova app Push Notification issue on android

[nabaragpaul]

Hello all, I am using rocket chat cordova for mobile app in android platform. I am not getting any notification in the device . I have created a new project in google developer console , generated sender ID and api key with GCM and using it in index.js file and I have added the same GCM api keys and sender ID in web instance where it was required but no luck yet.

Any kind of help is appreciated .

please check if there are spaces in the android_sender_id.js and budsnag_apikeys.js.

then logout from any sessions from the computer and mobile, and after 5 minutes, login with mobile and in a channel write "@other-user-account: Hello!!"

in a few seconds should ring the push notification in the other-user mobile

Is it mandatory to configure bugsnag_apikeys.js for the push to work? I have checked the blanks of the android_sender_id.js and bugsnag_apikeys.js files and they are correct.

I set up the GCM api key and GCM project number in the Rocket.Chat admin panel and set up the sender id in android_sender_id.js in the cordova app, but in the Rocket.Chat log it did not say if the device was registered.

Another question is that the _raix_push_notifications and _raix_push_app_tokens collections were created, but when executing a query such as:

Db._raix_push_app_tokens.find ({userId: 'MZiFvWAfF4RF4AD5u'});

It is informed that:

001-rs: PRIMARY> db._raix_push_app_tokens.find ();
2016-06-12T21: 44: 01.770 + 0200 E QUERY TypeError: Can not call method 'find' of undefined
At (shell): 1: 26

I am using version 0.56 of Rocket.Chat

you'll have to do: db.getCollection('_raix_push_app_tokens').find()

@geekgonecrazy I noticed that rocket.chat is not able to allocate token from gcm to userId. When I access with an apple device, the log displays the apn token. In the '_raix_push_app_tokens' collection it also does not show any gcm token information, just apn. Also, I tested my apn data and it worked, but when I try to send a push to my user, the push is not sent.

This was the issue for me:

Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported. in the mobile app.

Which was triggered by adding user avatars to the notifications in packages/rocketchat-ui/client/lib/avatar.js.

Just returning an empty string if the security error was thrown was the quick fix.
