Urban Airship - Send Push with NSURLConnection

Question

I\'m working on a simple prototype and need to test sending push notifications from one device to another.

I\'ve emailed Urban Airship to turn on the \"Allow Push Fr

Answer 1

Example Using the V3 API...

-(void)richPushNotification{

NSDictionary *push = @{

                       @"audience" : @{
                               @"device_token" : deviceToken
                               },
                       @"device_types" : @[ @"ios" ],
                       @"notification" : @{
                               @"ios" : @{
                                       @"alert":Message,
                                       @"sound":@"default",
                                       @"badge":@"auto",
                                       }
                               },
                       @"message": @{
                               @"title": Message,
                               @"body": @"
blah blah
 etc...",
                               @"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, appMasterSecret];
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];

}

And The Response:

- (void) connection:(NSURLConnection *) connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *) response {
NSHTTPURLResponse * res = (NSHTTPURLResponse *) response;
NSLog(@"response: %@",res);
NSLog(@"res %li\n",(long)res.statusCode);

if (res.statusCode == 202) {

    //Show Alert Message Sent

}else{

    //Handle Error

}
