Push Notification for iOS

6min
Cooee delivers engagement content with Push Notification. Hence, Push Notification plays the main role with CooeeSDK. iOS needs to be set up with APNS﻿
Follow the below steps for Push Notification setup
Add Capability to App
To get started with push notifications you will need to add the following capability to your app
Push Notification
Background Modes
App Group
Then you have to update Background Mode and App Group
Make sure to enable Background fetch, Remote notification & Background processing in Background Mode.
In the App Group add a group with the name group.com.letscooee.YOUR_APP_ID
Your capability window should look like below
﻿
Configure App
Now you have to update AppDelegate to let CooeeSDK know about notification action, foreground mode and deviceToken.
ObjectiveC
Swift
#import <UserNotifications/UserNotifications.h>
#import "CooeeSDK/CooeeSDK-Swift.h"

@interface AppDelegate () <UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>
@end

@implementation AppDelegate

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions
    {
        self.viewController = [[MainViewController alloc] init];
        [AppController configure];

        // Request notification permission & register for remote notification
        UNUserNotificationCenter *center = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
        center.delegate = self;
        [center requestAuthorizationWithOptions:(UNAuthorizationOptionSound | UNAuthorizationOptionAlert | UNAuthorizationOptionBadge) completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
            if( !error ) {
                // Once permission granted register for remote notification
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
                });
            } else {
                // Handle error thrown by permission request
                NSLog( @"ERROR: %@ - %@", error.localizedFailureReason, error.localizedDescription );
            }
        }];

        return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
    }

    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
    {
        // Send device token to the Cooee
        [[CooeeSDK getInstance] setDeviceTokenWithToken:deviceToken];
    }

    - (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions))completionHandler
    {
        // Cooee can show only In-App while app is in foreground. Here Cooee will check for there notification and
        // decide what action should be taken on foreground notification. If Push notification do not belong to
        // Cooee then default [.badge,.alert,.sound] is return
        completionHandler([[CooeeSDK getInstance] presentNotification:notification]);
    }

    - (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler
    {
        // Cooee will perform click action associated with Push Notification
        [[CooeeSDK getInstance] notificationAction:response];
        completionHandler();
    }
@end
#import <UserNotifications/UserNotifications.h>
#import "CooeeSDK/CooeeSDK-Swift.h"

@interface AppDelegate () <UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>
@end

@implementation AppDelegate

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions
    {
        self.viewController = [[MainViewController alloc] init];
        [AppController configure];

        // Request notification permission & register for remote notification
        UNUserNotificationCenter *center = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
        center.delegate = self;
        [center requestAuthorizationWithOptions:(UNAuthorizationOptionSound | UNAuthorizationOptionAlert | UNAuthorizationOptionBadge) completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
            if( !error ) {
                // Once permission granted register for remote notification
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
                });
            } else {
                // Handle error thrown by permission request
                NSLog( @"ERROR: %@ - %@", error.localizedFailureReason, error.localizedDescription );
            }
        }];

        return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
    }

    - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
    {
        // Send device token to the Cooee
        [[CooeeSDK getInstance] setDeviceTokenWithToken:deviceToken];
    }

    - (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions))completionHandler
    {
        // Cooee can show only In-App while app is in foreground. Here Cooee will check for there notification and

    {
        // Cooee will perform click action associated with Push Notification
        [[CooeeSDK getInstance] notificationAction:response];
        completionHandler();
    }
@end

Notification Service Extension
Now you have to add Notification Service Extension to your app
Once you add Notification Service Extension in the app then add the following capability in your extension
Push Notification
App Group
App Group to make communication between your app and extension. 
App Group add/enable group with the name group.com.letscooee.YOUR_APP_ID
COOEE_APP_ID in Info.plist of your Notification Service Extension

Once you're done with the above steps; Your extension capability window should look like below
﻿
Code Update
To access CooeeSDK in your Notification Service Extension you have to update your Podfile as below
Ruby
platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'YOUR_APP_NAME' do
      use_frameworks!

      pod 'CooeeSDK', '~> x.x.x'

      target 'YOUR_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_EXTENSION_NAME' do

            # Adding below line will fetch parent's target pods
            inherit! :search_paths
      end
end
platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'YOUR_APP_NAME' do
      use_frameworks!

      pod 'CooeeSDK', '~> x.x.x'

      target 'YOUR_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_EXTENSION_NAME' do

            # Adding below line will fetch parent's target pods
            inherit! :search_paths
      end
end
﻿
Update didReceive method in NotificationService with the below code
ObjectiveC
Swift
- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
    self.contentHandler = contentHandler;

    // Cooee will modify content and deliver back to Notification service extension
    self.bestAttemptContent = [CooeeNotificationService updateContentFromRequest:request];

    self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
}
- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
    self.contentHandler = contentHandler;

    // Cooee will modify content and deliver back to Notification service extension
    self.bestAttemptContent = [CooeeNotificationService updateContentFromRequest:request];

    self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
}
﻿
That's it!! You are done with push notification integration. Now start testing your integration with Cooee Dashboard﻿
