C# V4 Mobile Push API Reference for Realtime Apps

PubNub's Mobile Push Gateway feature enables developers to bridge native PubNub publishing with 3rd-party push notification services including Google Android FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple iOS APNs (Apple Push Notification service).

By using the Mobile Push Gateway, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.

Adding Device to Channel

Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-onRequires that you enable the Mobile Push Notifications for your key. Refer to the following page for details on enabling add-on features on your keys:
https://support.pubnub.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051974791-How-do-I-enable-add-on-features-for-my-keys-

Description

Enable push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

To run Adding Device to Channel you can use the following method(s) in the C# V4 SDK:

pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels().PushType(PNPushType).Channels(Array).DeviceId(string).Environment(PushEnvironment).Topic(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,object>)

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`PushType`	PNPushType	Yes	Accepted values: `PNPushType.GCM`, `PNPushType.FCM`, `PNPushType.APNS`, `PNPushType.APNS2`.
`Channels`	Array	Yes	Add push notifications on the specified `Channels`.
`DeviceId`	string	Yes	Device ID.
`Environment`	`PushEnvironment`	APNs2 only	`PNPushType.APNS2` only. Apple APNs server (refer to this Apple document) to contact. Valid values are Development and Production.
`Topic`	string	APNs2 only	`PNPushType.APNS2` only. Notification topic name (usually the application's bundle identifier).
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, object>	Optional	Dictionary `object` to pass name/value pairs as query `string` params with PubNub URL request for debug purpose.
`Async`	PNCallback	Deprecated	`PNCallback` of type `PNPushAddChannelResult`.
`Execute`	PNCallback	Yes	`PNCallback` of type `PNPushAddChannelResult`.

Basic Usage

Adding Device to Channel:

pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels()
    .PushType(PNPushType.GCM)
    .Channels(new string[] {
        "ch1",
        "ch2",
        "ch3"
    })
    .DeviceId("googleDevice")
    .Execute(new DemoPushAddChannel());

public class DemoPushAddChannel : PNCallback<PNPushAddChannelResult> {
    public override void OnResponse(PNPushAddChannelResult result, PNStatus status) {
    }
}

Returns

The AddPushNotificationsOnChannels() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.isError().

Listing Channels For Device

`Topic`	string	APNs2 only	`PNPushType.APNS2` only. Notification topic name (usually the application's bundle identifier).
`QueryParam`	Dictionary<string, object>	Optional	Dictionary `object` to pass name/value pairs as query `string` params with PubNub URL request for debug purpose.
`Async`	PNCallback	Deprecated	`PNCallback` of type `PNPushListProvisionsResult`.
`Execute`	PNCallback	Yes	`PNCallback` of type `PNPushListProvisionsResult`.

Basic Usage

Listing Channels For Device:

pubnub.AuditPushChannelProvisions()
    .DeviceId("googleDevice")
    .PushType(PNPushType.GCM)
    .Execute(new DemoPushListProvisionChannel());

public class DemoPushListProvisionChannel : PNCallback<PNPushListProvisionsResult> {
    public override void OnResponse(PNPushListProvisionsResult result, PNStatus status) {
    }
}

Returns

The AuditPushChannelProvisions() operation returns a PNPushListProvisionsResult which contains the following property:

Property Name	Type	Description
`Channels`	List	List of `channels` associated for push notifications.

Removing Device From Channel

Description

Disable push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

To run Removing Device From Channel you can use the following method(s) in the C# V4 SDK:

pubnub.RemovePushNotificationsFromChannels().DeviceId(string).Channels(Array).PushType(PNPushType).Environment(PushEnvironment).Topic(string).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,object>)

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
