Push Notification
You can send Push Notifications in mobile applications that you develop with Kuika. To send Push Notification, you must first make the necessary settings. You can perform settings for iOS and Android devices via the Push Notification section on the iOS and Android configuration settings screens.
Push Notification Settings for iOS Devices
To configure Push Notification settings for iOS devices, click the drop-down menu next to the Settings heading under the Push Notification tab on the iOS configuration setting screen.
Select the ADD NEW option in the drop-down menu.
You need to add the requested information on the pop-up screen titled Push Notification Setting.
Name the Push Notification setting via the text input box next to the Name header. Next, enter your Team Id.
There are some steps you need to do to access your Team Id information. For Team Id, you must first sign in to the Apple developer center.
Open the Account page by clicking the Account button and scroll down to the Membership Details on the page that opens.
You can access Team Id information in the membership details section. Enter the Team Id information you have accessed in the relevant field in Kuika.
After providing the Team Id entry, the next step will be to specify the post type.
If you are going to broadcast the .ipa file to the simulator, you should choose the broadcast type as Development. If you are running the application via Testflight, you should choose Production as the broadcast type.
The last information you need to add on the Push Notification Setting screen for iOS is Notification Certificate. To access the certificate file with the .p8 extension that you will use for iOS devices, you have to follow some steps.
To get the P8 file, go to the Apple Account Manager page and log in with your Apple Developer account. Open Users and Access Page after login.
Click the Keys button on the page that opens. You can create and download the .p8 file by clicking the + icon on the Keys page that opens. Upload the downloaded file with the Upload button next to "Notification Certificate" and click the CREATE button.
You can download the P8 file only once. For this reason, you should keep the file well.
Push Notification Settings for Android Devices
To configure Push Notification settings for Android devices, click the drop-down menu next to the Settings heading under the Push Notification tab on the Android configuration setting screen.
Select the ADD NEW option in the drop-down menu.
In the pop-up screen titled Firebase Setting, you need to add the requested information.
Name the Firebase setting via the text input box next to the Name header.
Next, enter your Sender Id, Server Key and Notification Certificate information. There are some steps you need to do to access this information.
First you need to sign in to the Firebase Console.
Click on the relevant project from the Firebase Console home page. If you don't have a project created before, create a new one.
Go to the settings page by clicking the Gear icon next to the Project Overview item in the left panel menu on the project screen that opens.
Download the file named “google-services.json” in the General tab. You will use this file as Notification Certificate.
Then click on the Cloud Messaging tab.
On the page that opens, you can find the Server Key and Sender Id information under the Cloud Messaging API (Legacy) heading.
Now go back to Kuika. Fill in the Sender Id and Server Key information. Upload the file named “google-services.json” you downloaded as Notification Certificate via the UPLOAD button.
Click the CREATE button after completing the installation process.
