getPushRegistrationId #237

Open bpfeiffer187 opened 4 years ago

bpfeiffer187 commented 4 years ago

Hey Everyone,

putting in notifications, and setting up android it wants to use getPushRegistrationId(), this function takes a call back. I am struggling as to what function to call within? is there a specific FCM fucntion that returns a value. Any help clarify from the docs would be helpful.

returns a promise could either in async function use await i.e

let token = await getPushRegistrationId()

Keep in mind I believe this function is looking for fcm token on Mixpanel. So unless you have retrieved it elsewhere and then setPushRegistrationId(token) would not expect a value to be returned

ok thanks so i guess my real question then becomes what value does it expect in the setRegID() for the token. is it just the string from server token within the firebase cloud portal? the same one we paste into mixpanel to tie them together.

that to me doesnt seem specific enough to user.

0hio-creator commented 4 years ago

No its not the server token. For android you need an FCM token for IOS you need an apns token

The token is specific to the device. You are associating the device with the user in mixpanel so that when mixpanel sends a notification it reaches the device.

IOS example with react native firebase. https://github.com/davodesign84/react-native-mixpanel/issues/234
