Mobile Push Notifications API for PubNub Unity 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.

Adding Device to Channel

Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on

This method requires that the Mobile Push Notifications add-on is enabled for your key in the Admin Portal. Read the support page on enabling add-on features on your keys.

Description

Enable mobile push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

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

pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels().Channels(List<string>).DeviceID(string).PushType(PNPushType).QueryParam(Dictionary<string,string>).Async(result, status)

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Channels	List<string>	Yes		Add mobile push notifications on the specified channels.
DeviceId	string	Yes		Device ID.
PushType	PNPushType	Yes	Not set	Accepted values: PNPushType.GCM, PNPushType.APNS2.
Topic	string	Yes if PNPushType is APNS2	Not set	Notifications topic name (usually it is application's bundle identifier).
Environment	PNPushEnvironment	No	Development	Works only if PNPushType set to APNS2. Accepted values: Development, Production.
QueryParam	Dictionary<string, string>	Optional		QueryParam accepts a Dictionary object, the keys and values are passed as the query string parameters of the URL called by the API.
Async	PNCallback	Yes		PNCallback of type PNPushAddChannelResult.

Basic Usage

Adding Device to Channel

// for FCM/GCM
pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels()
    .Channels(new List<string>{"channel2"})
    .DeviceID(<deviceId>)
    .PushType(PNPushType.GCM)
    .Async((result, status) => {
        Debug.Log ("in AddPushNotificationsOnChannels");
        if(status.Error){
            Debug.Log (string.Format(" AddPushNotificationsOnChannels Error: {0} {1} {2}", status.StatusCode, status.ErrorData, status.Category));
        } else {
            Debug.Log (string.Format("DateTime {0}, In AddPushNotificationsOnChannels, result: {1}", DateTime.UtcNow, result.Message));
        }
    });

// for APNS2

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().
