Adding a custom alert to a payload that already contains a simple alert throws a vague JSONException

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. using addCustomAlertBody("sas")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["alert"] is not a 
JSONObject. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
javapns_2.0_RC.jar

Is it possible you already added a simple alert in your payload, before trying 
to add a custom one?  If you add a simple alert, the payload will link a String 
to the "alert" key; but if you try to add a custom alert afterwards, it will 
need to link a JSON object to the same "alert" key, which it won't be able to 
do because you already added a String to that key.

Committed 2.0 RC Revision 002 to SVN with an improvement regarding this issue.  
If one tries to add a custom alert to a PushNotificationPayload (though any of 
the addCustomAlert... methods) that already contains a simple alert, a more 
precise exception is now thrown indicating that a simple alert was already 
added to the payload (and vice-versa).

Please ignore revision link in comment above, it got linked automatically by 
Google Code to an unrelated project entry.

javapns 2.0 RC.002 is available in SVN and not at the link in the comment above.

This is the code that i am using: 

                PushNotificationPayload x = new PushNotificationPayload();

        x.addCustomAlertBody("message body");
        x.addBadge(11);
        x.addSound("default");

        x.addCustomDictionary("entity-id", "4e88438978b8f20c187997c5");
        x.addCustomDictionary("entity-type", "USER");

                Push.payload(x, "cert.p12", "xxxxx", false, "71f87aa.......e");

The above code throws the exception.

I cannot replicate the problem with the code you provided.  I inserted my own 
keystore, keystore password and device token, and your code successfully pushed 
a notification to my device.

If that code really throws an exception for you, could you please provide a 
complete stack trace (with line numbers)?  Thank you.

found.

You do not appear to be using the latest build as suggested in comment 3.  
Could you please download the latest build of the library from SVN and try 
again?  Thanks!

Sorry, but I am not really sure how to pull that revision through here.

A shortcut is available on the Requirements wiki page (requirement #1, nightly 
build), but here is the complete procedure:

1) click on the Source panel in this web site
2) click on Browse
3) navigate down to svn > branches > javapns2
4) click the latest version of the library (javapns_2.0_RC.jar) on the right
5) click "View raw file" in the File info section of the page (your download 
will start)
