Cordova Push Plugin iOS 8

Question

Likely the same problem as PhoneGap Push Plugin Does Not Register iOS 8 Device but I do have an error message.

I have checked the plugin version and I am getting the new version with the iOS mods.

    }
  ]

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times.

Answer 1

Faced the same issue, but I knew it had been working before. I already had trouble with plugins, so I am used to remove / re-add them... but it didn't work this time.

Using git I noticed that the platforms/ios/*.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file is not correctly updated when I run the (sadly) usual : cordova plugin {remove,add} com.phonegap.plugins.PushPlugin

Parts are missing in PBXBuildFile section ! I guess it's a bug in cordova...

The solution

I worked it around by removing and re-adding the entire ios platform : cordova platform {remove,add} ios

This should do the trick.

Check out the pull requests on github.

https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/pulls

There are lots of iOS8 Fixes included. It doesn't look like they are merged into the phonegap-build repository yet.

iOS8 changed the way they register and handle push notifications so there are some code changes you will need to update to support iOS8.

I managed to fix this by adding PushPlugin.m to the Build Phases->Compile Sources.

Not sure if this was a Cordova issue or a Netbeans issue.
