pushpushgo_sdk 1.1.0

PushPushGo SDK for Flutter

pushpushgo_sdk - PushPushGo for Flutter Apps

Official PushPushGo SDK client for Flutter apps (iOS, Android)

Important

Version 1.0.0+ Breaking changes

• To be able to use v1.0.0+ you will need to add AppGroups capability to your iOS project target.

Supported platforms:

• iOS
• Android

Requirements

• PPG project
• Access to Firebase Console
• Access to Apple Developers console
• For iOS - Cocoapods (or other package manager)

Approximate time of integration (without further implementation): 2-3h

Environment setup

Make sure that you have flutter installed, and flutter doctor command pass.

$ flutter doctor

If pass without any exceptions you are ready to go through next steps

1. Add SDK to your existing application

1.1 Install flutter package

$ flutter pub add pushpushgo_sdk

1.2 Add code to your main.dart file

1.2.1 Import library

import 'package:pushpushgo_sdk/pushpushgo_sdk.dart';

1.2.1 Initialize client

Declare and initialize PPG client in your main application class

    final pushpushgo = PushpushgoSdk({
        "apiToken": "my-api-key-from-pushpushgo-app", 
        "projectId": "my-project-id-from-pushpushgo-app"
        "appGroupId": "your-app-group-id-from-provisioning-profile"  // required from v1.0.0+
    });
    
    pushpushgo.initialize(onNewSubscriptionHandler: (subscriberId) {
      log(subscriberId);
    });

Then fill apiToken and projectId by your credentials from PPG project.

Note: If you want to see example of integration on test app visit: https://github.com/ppgco/flutter-example-integration

2. iOS Support

2.1 In Xcode open Podfile in /ios/ folder

Next steps are performed using Cocoapods package manager.

Make sure your minimum deployment platform version is at lest 14.0

Add to target 'Runner' do on the end of declaration:

  pod 'PPG_framework', :git => 'https://github.com/ppgco/ios-sdk.git'

After that in terminal navigate to yourFlutterProject/ios/ and run command:

$ pod install

2.2 Open XCode with ios/ directory

$ xed ios/

2.2.1 Enable Push Notification Capabilities in Project Target

1. Select your root item in files tree called "your_project_name" with blue icon and select your_project_name in Target section.
2. Go to Signing & Capabilities tab and click on "+ Capability" under tabs.
3. Select Push Notifications, Background Modes and AppGroups (from v1.0.0+)
4. On Background Modes select items:

• Remote notifications
• Background fetch

2.2.2 Add NotificationServiceExtension

1. Go to file -> New -> Target

2. Search for Notification Service Extension and choose product name may be for example NSE

3. Finish process and on prompt about Activate “NSE” scheme? click Cancel

4. Open file NotificationService.swift

5. Paste this code:

   import UserNotifications
   import PPG_framework
   
   class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
   
       var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?
       var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?
   
       override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
           self.contentHandler = contentHandler
           self.bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent)
   
           guard let content = bestAttemptContent else { return }
   
           // Wait for delivery event result & image fetch before returning from extension
           let group = DispatchGroup()
           group.enter()
           group.enter()
   
           // Fill your app group id
           SharedData.shared.appGroupId = "YOUR APP GROUP ID" 
   
           PPG.notificationDelivered(notificationRequest: request) { _ in
               group.leave()
           }
   
           DispatchQueue.global().async { [weak self] in
               self?.bestAttemptContent = PPG.modifyNotification(content)
               group.leave()
           }
   
           group.notify(queue: .main) {
               contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent ?? content)
           }
       }
   
       override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
           // Called just before the extension will be terminated by the system.
           // Use this as an opportunity to deliver your "best attempt" at modified content, otherwise the original push payload will be used.
           if let contentHandler = contentHandler, let bestAttemptContent =  bestAttemptContent {
               contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
           }
       }
   
   }
   

6. Add NotificationServiceExtension target to Podfile: Use name of file you created - in our case 'NSE'

   target 'NSE' do
     use_frameworks!
     use_modular_headers!
     pod 'PPG_framework', :git => 'https://github.com/ppgco/ios-sdk.git'
   end
   

7. And again navigate to yourFlutterProject/ios/ in terminal and run command:

   $ pod install
   

8. (optional) In Info.plist add folowing to enable deep linking in flutter

   <key>FlutterDeepLinkingEnabled</key>
   <true/>
   

2.3 Prepare certificates

1. Go to Apple Developer Portal - Identities and go to Identifiers section
2. Select from list your appBundleId like com.example.your_project_name
3. Look for PushNotifications and click "Configure" button
4. Select your Certificate Singing Request file
5. Download Certificates and open in KeyChain Access (double click in macos)
6. Find this certificate in list select then in context menu (right click) select export and export to .p12 format file with password.
7. Login into app and add this Certificate.p12 file with password via UI (https://next.pushpushgo.com/projects/YourProjectID/settings/integration/fcm)

For manual certificate generation visit our tutorial - https://docs.pushpushgo.company/application/providers/mobile-push/apns

3. Android Support

3.1 Firebase CLI

1. Install Firebase CLI - open terminal and run command:

   $ curl -sL https://firebase.tools | bash
   

2. Install FlutterFire CLI - open terminal and run command:

   $ dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
   

3. In terminal login to firebase:

   $ firebase login
   

4. Navigate to root of your Flutter project and run:

   $ flutterfire configure --project=your-firebase-project-id
   

   Follow instructions provided in terminal.

   Note: If you cant use flutterfire command, add export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin" to your .zshrc file.

3.2 Add code to your root build.gradle (/android/build.gradle)

Add jitpack and huawei repo

// build.gradle (root) or settings.gradle (dependencyResolutionManagement)
allprojects {
    repositories {
        // jitpack
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        // only when use hms
        maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
    }
}

For HMS add:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.0.300'
}

WARNING: If you will face packagename errors from pushpushgo_sdk add this code:

subprojects { subproject ->
    if (subproject.name == "pushpushgo_sdk") {
        subproject.afterEvaluate {
            subproject.android {
                namespace 'com.pushpushgo.pushpushgo_sdk'
            }
        }
    }
}

3.3 Add to your AndroidManifest.xml

This file is placed in android/app/src/main/

3.3.1 Activities (on main activity level)

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="APP_PUSH_CLICK" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>

If you don't have custom application file:

3.3.2 Add to your <application> tag:

    <application
        android:name=".MainApplication" 
        ...>

And create file called MainApplication with content:

package ...;

import com.pushpushgo.pushpushgo_sdk.PushPushGoHelpers
import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication

class MainApplication: FlutterApplication() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        PushPushGoHelpers.initialize(this)
        super.onCreate()
    }
}

Optional if you need deeplinkin add:

    <meta-data android:name="flutter_deeplinking_enabled" android:value="true" />

3.4 Add logic to your MainActivity

import android.Manifest
import android.content.Intent
import android.content.pm.PackageManager
import android.os.Build
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.annotation.RequiresApi
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat
import com.pushpushgo.pushpushgo_sdk.PushPushGoHelpers
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity

class MainActivity: FlutterActivity() {

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU)
    private fun requestNotificationsPermission() {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS
            ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
        ) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                this,
                arrayOf<String>(Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS),
                0
            )
        }
    }

   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

       if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) {
           requestNotificationsPermission();
       }

       PushPushGoHelpers.onCreate(this.application, intent, savedInstanceState)
   }

    override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent) {
       PushPushGoHelpers.onNewIntent(this.application, intent)
    }

}

3.4 Modify build.gradle:

Add dependencies in build.gradle (app level)

3.4.1 For FCM

// build.gradle (:app)
dependencies {  
    ...  
    implementation "com.github.ppgco.android-sdk:sdk:2.0.6"
    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.3.0')
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
}

3.4.2 For HMS

dependencies {
  ...
    implementation "com.github.ppgco.android-sdk:sdk:2.0.6"
    implementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-core:1.7.0.300'
    implementation 'com.huawei.hms:push:6.5.0.300'  
}

On top add: Paste this below com.android.library

    id 'com.huawei.agconnect'

3.5 Generate FCM v1 credentials and upload it in PPG APP:

• Go to your Firebase console and navigate to project settings
• Open Cloud Messaging tab
• Click Manage Service Accounts

    _pushpushgo.registerForNotifications();

    // Unsubscribe from notitfications
    _pushpushgo.unregisterFromNotifications();

    // Get subscriber id
    _pushpushgo.getSubscriberId();

    // Send beacons for subscriber
    _pushpushgo.sendBeacon(
        Beacon(
            tags: {
                Tag.fromString("my:tag"),
                Tag(
                    key: "myaa",
                    value: "aaaa",
                    strategy: "append",
                    ttl: 1000)
            },
            tagsToDelete: {},
            customId: "my_id",
            selectors: {"my": "data"}
        )
    );
