Cannot send PUSH from my iOS app

Avatar

I'm trying to send a PUSH via Urban Airship using code in my app. 

I can't seem to find any solid documentation on how to do this. I've tried approaches from posts on StackOverflow, this one being the most promising: how to send push from iphone via urban airship?

However, following the approach in that post I am getting a 401 error (401 Unauthorized – The authorization credentials are incorrect)

For the auth, I am using the App Key and App Secret. I read on a c# board, that using the App Master Secret as the password will work as expected. 

When I tried that approach, I received a 400 error: 400 Bad Request – The request body was invalid, either due to malformed JSON or a data validation error. See the response body for more detail.

 

Thank you for your time.

Didn't find what you were looking for?

    Hi Brian,

    You should use the Master Secret when making a Push Request. The App Secret is for request made from the device rather than the server.

    Can you paste your request payload body here, so I can take a look?

    Thank you,

    Hi Sean,

     

    Here is the code I am using in the app: 

     

        NSDictionary *push = @{

     

                               @"audience" : @{

                                       @"tags" : @[user]

                                       },

                               @"device_types" : @[ @"ios" ],

                               @"notification" : @{

                                       @"ios" : @{

                                               @"alert":@"This is a test",

                                               @"sound":@"default",

                                               @"badge":@"auto",

                                               }

                                       },

                               @"message": @{

                                       @"title": @"This is a test message",

                                       @"body": @"This is a test",

                                       @"content_type": @"text/html",

                                       @"extra": @{

                                               @"offer_id" : @"608f1f6c-8860-c617-a803-b187b491568e"

                                               }

                                       }

                               };

     

     

        NSMutableURLRequest * request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://go.urbanairship.com/api/push/"]];

        [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

        [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

        [request setValue:@"application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3;" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];

     

        NSString *authStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@",appKey, appSecret];

        NSData *authData = [authStr dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

        NSString *authValue = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Basic %@", [authData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64EncodingEndLineWithLineFeed]];

        [request setValue:authValue forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];

        NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:push

                                                           options:0 // Pass 0 if you don't care about the readability of the generated string

                                                             error:NULL];

        

        request.HTTPBody = jsonData;

        

        [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
