Mobile Push Notifications API for Go SDK

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

Method(s)

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

pn.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels().
        Channels([]string).
        DeviceIDForPush(string).
        PushType(PNPushTypeGCM|PNPushTypeAPNS2).
        Topic(string).
        Environment(PNPushEnvironment).
        QueryParam(map[string]string).
        Execute()

* required

Parameter	Description
Channels * Type: []string Default: n/a	channels to add to the channel group
DeviceIDForPush * Type: string Default: n/a	Device ID.
PushType * Type: PNPushTypeGCM PNPushTypeAPNS2 PNPushTypeFCM Default: Not set	Accepted values: PNPushTypeGCM, PNPushTypeAPNS2, PNPushTypeFCM.
Topic Type: string Default: Not set	Notifications topic name (usually it is application's bundle identifier).
Environment Type: PNPushEnvironment Default: PNPushEnvironmentDevelopment	Works only if PNPushType set to PNPushTypeAPNS2. Accepted values: PNPushEnvironmentDevelopment, PNPushEnvironmentProduction.
QueryParam Type: map[string]string Default: n/a	QueryParam accepts a map, the keys and values of the map are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
