I am using Parse for push notifications.
When sending a push adding a badge icon is simply done by checking a check box on parse, no code implementation required.
Problem is I can't seem to find a solution in the documentation for clear the badges on once the app is launched .
Any input appreciated.
try this in your appdelegate.m:
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
PFInstallation *currentInstallation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
if (currentInstallation.badge != 0) {
currentInstallation.badge = 0;
[currentInstallation saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
// Handle error here with an alert…
}
else {
// only update locally if the remote update succeeded so they always match
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0];
}
}];
}
}
this should reset badge every time.

I had a working share routine and now it is broken. Hadn't checked it, or modified it, for some time and now find that it is inoperable. When I call
[sharingService performWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:itemProvider]];
I get a share sheet displayed. It shows the current members of the share. The form is inoperable and will not accept any input or taps. I cannot add, remove or stop sharing altogether. When I close the form, my app is hung up and will not respond or take focus. I have to kill the app and reopen to get it working again.
This used to work fine, within the last few months. I hadn't changed anything so I am very surprised by new problem.
I am adding my code for creating share here:
NSString *shareOption = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:kSet_CLOUD_SERVICE_USER_DEFAULT];
if ([shareOption isEqualToString:TTICloudKitShareOwnerService]) {
CDEZipCloudFileSystem *zipFile = (CDEZipCloudFileSystem *)_cloudFileSystem;
CDECloudKitFileSystem *fileSystem = (CDECloudKitFileSystem *)zipFile.cloudFileSystem;
NSItemProvider *itemProvider = [[NSItemProvider alloc] init];
[itemProvider registerCloudKitShare:fileSystem.share container:fileSystem.container];
NSSharingService *sharingService = [NSSharingService sharingServiceNamed:NSSharingServiceNameCloudSharing];
sharingService.subject = #"Share Workforce Data";
sharingService.delegate = self;
if ([sharingService canPerformWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:itemProvider]]) {
[sharingService performWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:itemProvider]];
// This is the point at which the Apple UI is presented but inoperable.
// No changes can be made to the share.
// The only way to dismiss the dialog is to quit or press escape.
// Upon dismissal the app is either crashed or hung up.
// Quitting the app and restart is only option to use the app again.
// If not run from Xcode, requires force quit.
}
} else {
NSLog(#"Is Shared Ensemble");
NSAlert *alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Stop Share"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:#"Cancel"];
[alert setMessageText:#"Shared Data Options"];
[alert setInformativeText:#"You are participating in a shared file. Stop sharing will remove your participation and reset your data. You will no longer participate or have access to the shared information."];
[alert setAlertStyle:NSAlertStyleWarning];
if ([alert runModal] == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn) {
[alert setInformativeText:#"Are you sure? You will no longer have access to shared data. You will need the owner of the share to resend an invitation to join the share."];
if ([alert runModal] == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn) {
// This actually does not remove user from sharing as intended.
// I am sure that is my own implementation incomplete though.
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setNilValueForKey:kSet_CLOUDKIT_SHARE_OWNER_DEFAULT];
[defaults setObject:TTICloudKitShareOwnerService forKey:kSet_CLOUD_SERVICE_USER_DEFAULT];
[defaults synchronize];
[self disconnectFromSyncServiceWithCompletion:^{
// TODO: Need to wipe the existing Core Data info here. Leave them with no access to shared data.
// Also need to remove self from the share?
[self reset];
[self setupEnsemble];
}];
}
}
}
Creating share and sending worked flawlessly and I'd been developing app and testing live. Currently my test is shared with two other users and still works. In fact I can't seem to find a way to stop sharing with those users or in any way alter the current share at all.
This is the NSCloudSharingServiceDelegate code:
-(NSCloudKitSharingServiceOptions)optionsForSharingService:(NSSharingService *)cloudKitSharingService shareProvider:(NSItemProvider *)provider
{
return NSCloudKitSharingServiceAllowPrivate | NSCloudKitSharingServiceAllowReadWrite;
}
-(void)sharingService:(NSSharingService *)sharingService willShareItems:(NSArray *)items
{
DLog(#"Will Share Called with items:%#",items);
}
-(void)sharingService:(NSSharingService *)sharingService didShareItems:(NSArray *)items
{
DLog(#"Did share called");
}
-(void)sharingService:(NSSharingService *)sharingService didFailToShareItems:(NSArray *)items error:(NSError *)error
{
DLog(#"Sharing service failed to share items, %#-", error);
if (error.code == NSUserCancelledError) return;
DLog(#"Failed to share, error- %#", error.userInfo);
[self disconnectFromSyncServiceWithCompletion:^{
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:kSet_CLOUDKIT_SHARE_OWNER_DEFAULT forKey:kSet_CLOUD_SERVICE_USER_DEFAULT];
[defaults setNilValueForKey:kSet_CLOUDKIT_SHARE_OWNER_DEFAULT];
[defaults synchronize];
}];
}
It is apparent that I am one of the very few who find this to be important as I have scoured the webs and found almost nobody discussing it. Apple documentation is just about nil.
This is a screenshot of the Apple UI which is not working:
I am posting this as an answer, is more like a work around that I have managed to get working. Still no answer as to why the Apple UI does not respond.
See code for inviting participants without the Apple UI.
-(void)addParticipantWithEmail:(NSString *)email toShare:(CKShare *)share inContainer:(CKContainer *)container
{
[container discoverUserIdentityWithEmailAddress:(email) completionHandler:^(CKUserIdentity * _Nullable userInfo, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (!userInfo || error) {
NSLog(#"Participant was not found for email %#", email);
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error.userInfo);
} else {
NSLog(#"No error was provided");
}
// abort
return;
}
CKFetchShareMetadataOperation *fetchMetaDataOperation = [[CKFetchShareMetadataOperation alloc] initWithShareURLs:[NSArray arrayWithObject:share.URL]];
fetchMetaDataOperation.shouldFetchRootRecord = YES;
[fetchMetaDataOperation setPerShareMetadataBlock:^(NSURL * _Nonnull shareURL, CKShareMetadata * _Nullable shareMetadata, NSError * _Nullable error) {
CKRecord *root = shareMetadata.rootRecord;
if (!root) {
NSLog(#"There was an error retrieving the root record- %#", error);
} else {
NSLog(#"Root is %#", root);
NSLog(#"/n");
}
CKUserIdentityLookupInfo *info = userInfo.lookupInfo;
CKFetchShareParticipantsOperation *fetchOperation = [[CKFetchShareParticipantsOperation alloc] initWithUserIdentityLookupInfos:[NSArray arrayWithObject:info]];
[fetchOperation setShareParticipantFetchedBlock:^(CKShareParticipant * _Nonnull participant) {
participant.permission = CKShareParticipantPermissionReadWrite;
[share addParticipant:participant];
CKModifyRecordsOperation *modifyOperation = [[CKModifyRecordsOperation alloc] initWithRecordsToSave:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:root, share, nil] recordIDsToDelete:nil];
modifyOperation.savePolicy = CKRecordSaveIfServerRecordUnchanged;
[modifyOperation setPerRecordCompletionBlock:^(CKRecord * _Nonnull record, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error) {
DLog(#"Error modifying record %#. UserInfo: %#", record, error.userInfo);
} else {
DLog(#"No Error Reported in Modify Operation");
}
}];
[container.privateCloudDatabase addOperation:modifyOperation];
}];
[fetchOperation setFetchShareParticipantsCompletionBlock:^(NSError * _Nullable operationError) {
if (operationError) {
NSLog(#"There was en error in the fetch operation- %#", operationError.userInfo);
// Error may be a network issue, should implement a retry and possibly a limit to how many times to run it
}
}];
[container addOperation:fetchOperation];
}];
[container addOperation:fetchMetaDataOperation];
}];
}
It seems now, if I pass an email address to this function they are successfully invited to share, provided the user is in my contacts and has allowed discoverability.
I send the user the link to the share manually via iMessage at this point. Copied the URL from the console. My intent is to provide my own forms to handle that now.
On receiving link, I use Ensembles method:
CDECloudKitFileSystem acceptInvitationToShareWithMetadata:metadata completion:^(NSError *error)
This code didn't seem to work, accepting invites was failing initially. Without having changed anything, the accepting shares started to work. I am not sure why the initial fails.
I'm using the following code to "simply" determine the application state of the parent application from my watch app:
WatchKit Extension:
[WKInterfaceController openParentApplication:[NSDictionary dictionary] reply:^(NSDictionary *replyInfo, NSError *error)
{
UIApplicationState appState = UIApplicationStateBackground;
if(nil != replyInfo)
appState = (UIApplicationState)[((NSNumber*)[replyInfo objectForKey:kAppStateKey]) integerValue];
//handle app state
}];
Main App:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleWatchKitExtensionRequest:(NSDictionary *)userInfo reply:(void (^)(NSDictionary *replyInfo))reply
{
__block UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier realBackgroundTask;
realBackgroundTask = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^{
reply([NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState]], kAppStateKey, nil]);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:realBackgroundTask];
}];
reply([NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithInt:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState]], kAppStateKey, nil]);
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:realBackgroundTask];
}
When the app is in the foreground this works 100% of the time. When the app is "minimized" or "terminated" this maybe works 50% of the time (maybe less). When it doesn't work it appears to be blocking indefinitely. If after 1 minute, for example, I launch the parent app, the call (openParentApplication) immediately returns with the state "UIApplicationStateBackground" (the state it was before I launched the app as clearly the app isn't in the background state if I launched it).
BTW: I'm testing with real hardware.
What am I doing wrong? Why is iOS putting my main app to sleep immediately after receiving the call even though I create a background task? This is a complete show-stopper.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
After some research it looks to be a known issue. For example, the following link identifies this issue and provides a solution:
http://www.fiveminutewatchkit.com/blog/2015/3/11/one-weird-trick-to-fix-openparentapplicationreply
However, this solution did not work for me. As a result I implemented the following solution (its a little sloppy, but this is intentional to help condense the solution):
//start the timeout timer
timeoutTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:kTimeOutTime target:self selector:#selector(onTimeout) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
//make the call
messageSent = [WKInterfaceController openParentApplication:[NSDictionary dictionary] reply:^(NSDictionary *replyInfo, NSError *error)
{
if(nil != _stateDelegate)
{
UIApplicationState appState = UIApplicationStateBackground;
if(nil != replyInfo)
appState = (UIApplicationState)[((NSNumber*)[replyInfo objectForKey:kAppStateKey]) integerValue];
[_stateDelegate onOperationComplete:self timeout:false applicationState:appState];
_stateDelegate = nil;
}
}];
//if the message wasn't sent, then this ends now
if(!messageSent)
{
if(nil != _stateDelegate)
{
//just report that the main application is inactive
[_stateDelegate onOperationComplete:self timeout:false applicationState:UIApplicationStateInactive];
}
_stateDelegate = nil;
}
-(void)onTimeout
{
timeoutTimer = nil;
if(nil != _stateDelegate)
{
[_stateDelegate onOperationComplete:self timeout:true applicationState:UIApplicationStateInactive];
}
_stateDelegate = nil;
}
In a nutshell, if the timer fires before I hear back from the main app I will basically assume that the main app has been put to sleep. Keep in mind that all pending calls will succeed at some point (e.g. app state is restored to active) and, thus, you will need to handle this scenario (if necessary).
I have an iBeacon configured as:
NSUUID *proximityUUID = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:kUUID];
self.beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:proximityUUID identifier:kIdentifier];
self.beaconRegion.notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = NO;
self.beaconRegion.notifyOnEntry = YES;
self.beaconRegion.notifyOnExit = YES;
When my app is closed and the device is locked, didEnterRegion is never fired:
locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region{
[self sendLocalNotificationForBeaconRegionHello:(CLBeaconRegion *)region];
}
- (void)sendLocalNotificationForBeaconRegionHello:(CLBeaconRegion *)region
{
UILocalNotification *notification = [UILocalNotification new];
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Welcome - %#", region.identifier];
notification.alertAction = NSLocalizedString(#"View", nil);
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
notification.fireDate = nil;
notification.hasAction = false;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] presentLocalNotificationNow:notification];
}
The didExitRegion does get called even if the app is closed and the phone is locked. I only get a notification when entering a region when unlocking the phone.
Any ideas what might be the problem?
Thanks
I suspect the method is getting called but the notification swallowed for some reason (although the code looks OK). Try adding a method like below to help figure out what is going on:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didDetermineState:(CLRegionState)state forRegion:(CLRegion *)region
{
if(state == CLRegionStateInside) {
NSLog(#"locationManager didDetermineState INSIDE for %#", region.identifier);
}
else if(state == CLRegionStateOutside) {
NSLog(#"locationManager didDetermineState OUTSIDE for %#", region.identifier);
}
else {
NSLog(#"locationManager didDetermineState OTHER for %#", region.identifier);
}
}
It would also be useful to see your code in didExitRegion for comparison, and hear details about how you are testing enter/exit conditions (including wait times.)
I have an application in Xcode 4.5 which integrates Facebook. I am using ARC. The application uses
native dialogs and therefore deprecated headers (ie Facebook.h). Apparently doing so leads to the following
error when closing/cleaning the active session:
"An instance 0xa089350 of class
FBSessionManualTokenCachingStrategy was deallocated while key value observers were still registered
with it. Observation info was leaked, and may even become mistakenly attached to some other object."
Upon researching this error, I assume that the issue is that when I init an instance of self.Facebook in the app delegate, Facebook
adds two observers rather than one, and then only one is cleaned up during logout. I have made numerous attempts to remove both instances, including every solution on this
page regarding this very error: facebook ios sdk log : strange message
None of these solutions have worked for me, including one solution I saw which involved deallocation which I cannot use as I am using ARC. Here is my code for opening and closing a session for reference:
- (void)sessionStateChanged:(FBSession *)session
state:(FBSessionState) state
error:(NSError *)error
{
switch (state) {
case FBSessionStateOpen:
if (!error) {
// We have a valid session
// Initiate a Facebook instance
self.facebook = [[Facebook alloc]
initWithAppId:FBSession.activeSession.appID
andDelegate:nil];
// Store the Facebook session information
self.facebook.accessToken = FBSession.activeSession.accessToken;
self.facebook.expirationDate = FBSession.activeSession.expirationDate;
}
break;
case FBSessionStateClosed:
case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
// Clear out the Facebook instance
self.facebook = nil;
break;
default:
break;
}
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:FBSessionStateChangedNotification
object:session];
if (error) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error"
message:error.localizedDescription
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertView show];
}
}
/*
* Opens a Facebook session and optionally shows the login UX.
*/
- (BOOL)openSessionWithAllowLoginUI:(BOOL)allowLoginUI //do I need this method?
{
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
#"user_about_me",
#"read_friendlists",
#"read_stream",
#"friends_likes",
#"user_likes",
#"friends_photos",
#"user_photos",
nil];
return [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions
allowLoginUI:allowLoginUI
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session,
FBSessionState state,
NSError *error) {
[self sessionStateChanged:session state:state
error:error]; }];
}
/*
* If we have a valid session at the time of openURL call, we handle
* Facebook transitions by passing the url argument to handleOpenURL
*/
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation {
// attempt to extract a token from the url
return [FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url];
}
- (void) closeSession {
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
}
If anyone can offer any guidance as to how to solve this I would greatly appreciate it.
Im trying to integrate Push Notifications in my iOS App. This is a Phonegap/Cordova Project. Everything is working well, without the APNS and Urban Airship.
What I have done till now? I got it to work, that I could send a Push Message from UA to my phone, but that was done with sample code from different forums and not the UA docs. So I startet to do it like in the docs of UA is showed. With that Im very confused and tried a lot.
So i did following:Took the Push Sample from UA and copied the code to AppDelegate.m what looks now like this:
// Create Airship singleton that's used to talk to Urban Airhship servers.
// Please populate AirshipConfig.plist with your info from http://go.urbanairship.com
[UAirship takeOff:takeOffOptions];
[[UAPush shared] resetBadge];//zero badge on startup
[[UAPush shared] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound |
UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];
return YES;
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
UALOG(#"Application did become active.");
[[UAPush shared] resetBadge]; //zero badge when resuming from background (iOS 4+)
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
UALOG(#"APN device token: %#", deviceToken);
// Updates the device token and registers the token with UA
[[UAPush shared] registerDeviceToken:deviceToken];
/*
* Some example cases where user notification may be warranted
*
* This code will alert users who try to enable notifications
* from the settings screen, but cannot do so because
* notications are disabled in some capacity through the settings
* app.
*
*/
/*
//Do something when notifications are disabled altogther
if ([application enabledRemoteNotificationTypes] == UIRemoteNotificationTypeNone) {
UALOG(#"iOS Registered a device token, but nothing is enabled!");
//only alert if this is the first registration, or if push has just been
//re-enabled
if ([UAirship shared].deviceToken != nil) { //already been set this session

Its pretty the same like before, but given from UA. Then i copied the files from the other sources folder from the Push Sample into my phonegap folder Supported Files including the AirshipConfig.plist. Also I set the Header Search Paths in the Build Settings to the Airship folder, what i copied before into the xCode project folder.
Now I get the error (6) "Use of undeclared identifier 'UAPush'" in the AppDeledate.m file. What can I do now?
Thanks for some help...
You need to import both UAirship.h & UAPush.h in your AppDelegate.m
#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "UAirship.h"
#import "UAPush.h"
This will get rid of your undeclared identifier issue. Silly Urban Airship forgot to put this in their Documentation
