iOS push notification not working using PHP - php

Question

I am trying to implement push notification in iOS in PHP using APNS library. Here is my code :
<?php
// Put your device token here (without spaces):
$deviceToken = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
// Put your private key's passphrase here:
$passphrase = 'XXXXXX';
// Put your alert message here:
$message = 'My first push notification!';
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'Certificates.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);
// Open a connection to the APNS server
$fp = stream_socket_client(
'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
$errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
if (!$fp)
exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);
echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;
// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
'alert' => $message,
'sound' => 'default'
);
// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body);
// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;
// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));print_r($result);
if (!$result)
echo 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
else
echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;
// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);
?>
It show message sending successfully but in iOS it does not show notification.
2015-07-28 08:32:39 Connected to APNS result = 97
2015-07-28 08:32:39 Message successfully delivered
2015-07-28 08:32:39 Connection closed to APNS
Why this is happening? Am I missing anything ?

Answer 1

his mistake is with the ios 9 if so stop using the code in objective C and use in swift as it has a bug in generating objectiv token - C for ios9.
I recommend urgent change your code.
Also through this thought was the server when the scheduled ios changed for swift everything was resolved and my php was almost equal.
Care:
$ msg = chr (0). pack ('N', 32). pack (H * ','. '$deviceToken [0].'). pack ('N', strlen ($ payload)). $ payload;

Answer 2

There are two potential reason that is causing this:
Your app is in foreground
Your device token is invalid
In my app. I am directly getting deviceToken that's in NSData
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
NSString *deviceTokenString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", deviceToken];
// this is producing something like:
// <xxxxxxx 9b0f527f xxxxxxxx 2727ed28 xxxxxxxx 4e693a61 xxxxxxx ac2f7dbb>
//
// and i am directly saving that to my servers database
Here's what i have in my server.
$from_database = "<xxxxxxx 9b0f527f xxxxxxxx 2727ed28 xxxxxxxx 4e693a61 xxxxxxx ac2f7dbb>";
// this removes the '<' and '>' to make the device token valid
//
$token_string = substr($from_database, 1, -1);
$token_array[] = $token_string;
// you can also add multiple 'token_string' to the 'token_array' for push notification broadcasting, i am currently doing that and it is working properly.
...
public function __push_notification($message_input, $token_array)
{
$message = stripslashes($message_input);
$passphrase = 'xxxxxx';
$cert = realpath('xxx.pem');
$payload = '{
"aps" :
{
"alert" : "'.$message.'",
"badge" : 1,
"sound" : "bingbong.aiff"
}
}';
$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $cert);
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);
$fp = stream_socket_client('ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);
if (!$fp)
{
// echo "Failed to connect $err $errstr <br>";
return;
}
else
// echo "Post notification sent<br>";
$dev_array = array();
$dev_array = $token_array;
foreach ($dev_array as $device_token)
{
$msg = chr(0) .
pack("n", 32) .
pack('H*', str_replace(' ', '', $device_token)) .
pack("n", strlen($payload)) .
$payload;
// echo "sending message :" . $payload . "n";
fwrite($fp, $msg);
}
fclose($fp);
}
