Swift 3 - device tokens are now being parsed as '32BYTES'

Question

I just updated from Xcode 7 to the 8 GM and amidst the Swift 3 compatibility issues I noticed that my device tokens have stopped working. They now only read \'32BYTES\'.

Answer 1

This one wasn't stated as an official answer (saw it in a comment), but is what I ultimately did to get my token back in order.

let tokenData = deviceToken as NSData
let token = tokenData.description

// remove any characters once you have token string if needed
token = token.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
token = token.replacingOccurrences(of: "<", with: ""
token = token.replacingOccurrences(of: ">", with: "")
