Doesn't send any push notification!

[DohaSoul]

I get the permission and the device token saved to the DB, but when I try to send a push notification nothing happen!

I tried to convert the cer to pem as it describe on the README "openssl x509 -in website_aps_production.cer -inform der -out apns-cert.pem -nodes -clcerts" but I got an error which says: "-nodes is an unknown option." so I tried the ways described here: http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1 which is: openssl x509 -in website_aps_production.cer -inform der -out apns-cert.pem

but when I tried to test it, it says: "verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate"

then I saw on this website it says that error is just fine! http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4069/l/53405

so I tried another way which convert the ,p12 also to pem them combined them into new .pem as it described on the both up websites, but same thing I'm not getting any push notification!

I also tried the Demo on this website: https://kandutech.net and it's working just fine! but on my website I didn't get any notification.

Try using -nokeys instead of -nodes

same error: unknown option -nokeys

sorry that's my fault. the actual command should be

openssl x509 -in website_aps_production.cer -inform DER -out apns-cert.pem -outform PEM

I created the pem but still didn't get any push notification!

maybe there is something with the DB?! when it's stored the data is saves the id as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..etc and device token is just fine, but the userid is always 0 isn't it suppose to store the id as 4 digit? as it says on the demo here: https://kandutech.net/clicked

another thing.. I tried to play with SimplePush.php file (download link: http://d1xzuxjlafny7l.cloudfront.net/downloads/SimplePush.zip ) which is provided on this tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1

and I changed the device token and the payload body to: $body['aps'] = array( 'alert' => array( 'title' => 'test', 'body' => $message ), 'url-args' => array('test'), );

to just test the certificate if its valid or not, the result return with: "Connected to APNS Message successfully delivered" which mean that the cert is valid, but I didn't get any notification.

The userid field you can ignore for now, it's something for the next version of the wordpress plugin, nothing to do with the kandutech demo.

As for the simplepush.php script, I honestly I have no idea whether that would work with Safari push. If your server is correctly configured, you should be able to send a push from Terminal with:

curl --data-urlencode "title=Test" --data-urlencode "body=This is a test" --data-urlencode "button=View" --data-urlencode "urlargs=/" --data-urlencode "auth=your authentication code" https://push.yoursite.com/v1/push

or if you know the specific device token to send the push to, replace with https://push.yoursite.com/v1/push/devicetoken/

You can also do this in a browser, like so: https://push.yoursite.com/v1/push/?title=Test&body=This%20is%20a%20test&button=View&urlargs=%2F&auth=your_authentication_code or https://push.yoursite.com/v1/push/devicetoken/?title=Test&body=This%20is%20a%20test&button=View&urlargs=%2F&auth=your_authentication_code

It's worked when I tried it with the Terminal.. so what do you think the problem is?!

[surrealroad]

What are you trying to do that isn't working? Send a push through the Wordpress plugin?

[DohaSoul]

no I'm just trying the demo.. I didn't do any programming thing yet, so I guess everything should be working if it's worked through the Terminal? should I go forward?

[surrealroad]

it's entirely possible the demo code is broken, I'll fix and/or remove it.
