I would like to know how to send an apple push notification message with multiple lines. Using '\n' doesn't seem to work.
Something like:
First line
Second Line
Right now it seems to just ignore the message altogether.

Add a localizable strings file and add your string there. For example, you could have something like:
"Push_String" = "My push string with a line break\n and argument: %@";
Now in your notification payload, use the loc-key and loc-args properties, for example:
"loc-key":"Push_String","loc-args":["My argument!"]
Now you should have a line break in your notification.
You cannot send multi line push with a escape, it will not work!
simply tried to send push with Parse:
Payload without an escape:
{ "alert": "Send me\na push without escape", "sound": "default" }
Result:
Payload with an escape
{ "alert": "Send me\\na push with escape", "sound": "default" }
Result:
Here's a solution you want to know!
First line \r\n Second line
Apple push will reject a string for a variety of reasons. I tested a variety of scenarios for push delivery, and this was my working fix (in python):
# Apple rejects push payloads > 256 bytes (truncate msg to < 120 bytes to be safe)
if len(push_str) > 120:
push_str = push_str[0:120-3] + '...'
# Apple push rejects all quotes, remove them
import re
push_str = re.sub("[\"']", '', push_str)
# Apple push needs to newlines escaped
import MySQLdb
push_str = MySQLdb.escape_string(push_str)
# send it
import APNSWrapper
wrapper = APNSWrapper.APNSNotificationWrapper(certificate=...)
message = APNSWrapper.APNSNotification()
message.token(...)
message.badge(1)
message.alert(push_str)
message.sound("default")
wrapper.append(message)
wrapper.notify()
use double quote for string like:
string = "first line \r\n Second line ";
I have used chr(10) in PHP to send a newline as part of a push message, eg.
$message = "Hey {user_firstname}! " . chr(10) . "you have a new message!"
I figured it out: esacpae the \n. Duh.
so use:
First line \\n
Second Line
instead of
First line \n
Second Line
you can try:
alert:"this is 1st line \\n"
