last_registered_at documentation

Hello, first of all, thanks for your work and efforts on apn_on_rails. It's a great tool!

I've found your readme a bit confusing about last_registered_at field, that I suppose is really important.

Every time my app start I do something like:

Device.create(:token => '5gxadhy6 6zmtxfl6 5zpbcxmw ez3w7ksf qscpr55t trknkzap 7yyt45sc g6jrw7qz',:app_id=>1)

but this does not touch last_registered_at if the device already exist.

So i guess it's missing in your documentation how to touch last_registered_at field that I guess you can do with:

device = APN::Device.find(1)
device.set_last_registered_at
device.save

Sending issues after upgrade with new pem file

Hi,
I recently upgraded to the 0.4.1 (was using 0.3.0) because I needed custom properties. I also changed the pem file for the app. Now when I send notifications, (using rake apn:notifications:deliver) it only sends a single notification at a time and the user doesn't receive it. If I switch back the pem files, everything is fine. I'm confused because I don't see any errors in the log and I don't get why it would send one and then stop.
I'm on rails 2.3.5 on heroku.

Thanks!

"ruby script/rails generate apn_on_rails:install" is error

In app.rb, i comment line 58, and put "puts e.message" there, it shows:
259 out of char range

I know my message(alert) is too long, I will fix that, just try to report the code error here.

Thanks for this nice plugin. Save me a lot of time.

Certificate Unknown

Hi,

I try to send a push notification to an iphone, but I have a problem with the certificate I think.
When I launch rake apn:notifications:deliver --trace
I obtain:
** Invoke apn:notifications:deliver (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute apn:notifications:deliver
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read finished A: sslv3 alert certificate unknown

When I convert the certificate with this command :
openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out apple_push_notification_development.pem -nodes -clcerts
It asks me to enter an Import Password.

After that I obtain this result: MAC verified OK

So I think it's ok. But actually no. I don't know why it doesn't work. Do you have any idea ?

Here is the ruby version I'm using: ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i486-linux]
I'm working on an Ubuntu Server version 9.10

Thanks.

Christophe

P.S: This is the first time I use Ruby.

rake aborted! invalid DER-encoded certificate data

I have followed all the steps for converting the Certificate but I am getting the

rake aborted!
invalid DER-encoded certificate data

Error all the time ...

Let me know what I am missing here...

Thanks

How did you go about getting your certs into the database?

::preface::
I couldn't find any specific resource on how to do this. And there isn't a wiki so I apologize If I posted this to the issues and that is not the correct place to do so.

::question::
I am wondering what the preferred approach for getting the dev and production certs into the database (APN::App) are. I was going to create a data migration which would create the one app I need, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a better way to do this. Is there one?

::thanks::
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions as to how you did it.

Message sending logic is extremely inefficient for large #s of devices

This loop is brutally slow - you're looping through EVERY device looking for messages to send! The old version just looked for notifications with sent_at nil. That is much faster, and I ended up downgrading when I realized what was happening:

    APN::Connection.open_for_delivery({:cert => the_cert}) do |conn, sock|
      APN::Device.find_each(:conditions => conditions) do |dev|
        dev.unsent_notifications.each do |noty|
          conn.write(noty.message_for_sending)
          noty.sent_at = Time.now
          noty.save
        end
      end
    end

Group notification example

heyy
can u provide a group notification example??
and if it is necessary to hav the token of the all devices to which group notification is to be send??

Rename create_groups.rb to create_apn_groups.rb

Hi,
In apn_on_rails v=0.5.1, the generators template for creating groups is called "create_groups.rb" which caused same name error for me.

Can this file be renamed to "create_apn_groups.rb" instead?

Rails 3.2 and self.table_name

I'm not sure if this changed in 3.2 or I have something else interfering, but while trying to upgrade to 3.2.1, I see some test failures with something like "apn_bases does not exist" - and my guess is that the def self.table_name in APN base.rb used to return things like apn_devices, and now returns apn_bases incorrectly.

clarification in configuration documentation

Since keys are configured per APN::App model, not via configutron, I'm confused by the documentation which has me using configatron.

Do I still need to use configatron to configure the host? Can you please update the front page documentation to clarify, removing any parameters that aren't used.

uninitialized constant APN::App::RAILS_ENV

Hi there, Rails noob here and I'm struggling trying to figure out how to solve this error. It's barking about the RAILS_ENV variable. I've tried a couple of forks that change this to Rails.env but I still get the same error. I don't know enough about rails to dig in any further and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction.

Enhanced Binary Format

It appears from a glance at the source for Notification#message_for_sending that this code does not support the Enhanced Binary Format for APNs. Is this correct?

Ref: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/CommunicatingWIthAPS/CommunicatingWIthAPS.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH101-SW4

Certificate issues which aren't found on other libraries

Hi,

Suddenly one of my apps that uses apn_on_rails stopped sending notifications.

APN::App.send_notifications fails with:

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server session ticket A: sslv3 alert certificate expired
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server session ticket A: sslv3 alert certificate expired
      from ~/.rbenv/versions/ree-1.8.7-2011.03/gems/apn_on_rails-0.5.1/lib/apn_on_rails/libs/connection.rb:59:in `connect'

The cert is valid until 2013, and it works fine if I use something like node-apn. I don't see anything obvious in the source code and I know little of SSL, so I'm at a loss.

Broken pipe

Hello,
I'm getting this error while I'm trying to send push notifications to about 100 devices.

RAILS_ENV="production" rake apn:notifications:deliver
(in /home/breiko/public_html/iosmanager)

What does this mean?

cannot uninstall

I don't need the gem anymore, but it is still creating the tables when I do a rake db:migrate, how can I keep that from happening.
I have removed the gem from the Gemfile and rakefile

APN::App.send_notifications results in high DB load

Hello

we recently switched from wireframe apn_on_rails to PRX apn_on_rails (0.4.1), and we noticed a significant increase in DB load. It seems that this is due to a nested loop in the function send_notifications_for_cert (in the app model), which creates a DB query for each device, whereas the wireframe version uses a simple APN::Notification.all(:conditions => {:sent_at => nil}) to find all notifications to send.

I understand the benefit of being able to specify an app_id per device, but I think it should still be possible to just use one query to get all notifications to send, which would be significantly faster.

Triggering APN on New Message

I'm curious, and I just may not be seeing it in the explanation, of where I would put the trigger to send the APN when a new Message is received. Just as a brief explanation, I want to send a push notification to a user when he receives a new message. Can anyone provide me with some assistance on how to make this work?

notification delivery fails if any part of the message contains UTF-8 characters

incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8
/Users/jday/.rvm/gems/[email protected]/gems/apn_on_rails-0.5.1/lib/apn_on_rails/app/models/apn/notification.rb:83:in `message_for_sending'

the alert field in the notification that triggered this error contained this string:

Belén

what's the intended behavior of apn_device.last_registered_at ?

from lib/app/models/device.rb

Line 20 is a bit confusing:

before_save :set_last_registered_at

Because the method set_last_registred_at only updates the time when the time wasn't previously set. Is this the intended behavior?

My suggestion, is to either make it before_create, or get rid of the nil check in set_last_registered_at. The first suggestion would mostly mimic the current behavior in a more coherent way, whereas the second suggestion would behave as I expected it (updating the last_registered_at value at each save).

I could submit a pull request if we can agree on a convention.

New Changes to Push Certificates — Action Needed?

Apple has been sent out this email which describes changes to the certificates. Do we need to regenerate our certificates in the app?

Important changes to Apple Push Notification certificates

Dear Developer,
On December 22, 2010, the production Apple Push Notification service will begin to use a 2048-bit TLS/SSL certificate that provides a more secure connection between your provider server and the Apple Push Notification service.

To ensure you can continue to validate your server's connection to the Apple Push Notification service, you will need to update your push notification server with a copy of the 2048-bit root certificate from Entrust's website. This will not require a change to your iOS apps -- this update only applies to provider servers.

If you have been successfully validating the certificate chain in the APNs sandbox environment, you already have the root certificate you need. Simply install the same
root certificate on your production push provider servers.

More details on validating your provider communication channel can be found in the Provider Communication with Apple Push Notification service section of the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide.

Error creating an APN::Device

I am new to this GEM, so please excuse the NEWBIE questions.

I am using the 0.4.1 version. I cannot seem to get a proper ID assigned to any APN::Device I create. I've whittled the problem down to the following steps in the console.

I don't understand what I did that would cause the device to have no ID and fail on the save.

Any thoughts?

poweruser$ script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.5)
console> require 'apn_on_rails'
=> []

console> app = APN::App.create(:apn_dev_cert => "DEV", :apn_prod_cert => "PROD")
=> #<APN::App id: 2, apn_dev_cert: "DEV", apn_prod_cert: "PROD", created_at: "2011-01-23 14:48:52", updated_at: "2011-01-23 14:48:52">

console> app.save
=> true

console> device = APN::Device.create(:token => 'aaaa', :app_id => app.id)
=> #<APN::Device id: nil, token: "aaaa", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil, last_registered_at: nil, app_id: 2>

console> device.save
=> false

No name attribute in APN:App

I may be missing something, but I don't see a 'name' attribute in APN:App, yet it appears in the example of the readme. Some sort of app identifier, whether it be the bundle name, or the bundle id would be useful.

Cannot find generator

First, thanks for taking over this project. We've been using it for about year. We're just updating to Rails 3.0.1 and trying to install 0.4.1 of apn_on_rails, everything seems to work but can't run the migration using this: rails g apn_migrations

Is this a known issue or is it me?

Only the first notification in each batch is being sent

If more than one notification is sent over the connection at a time, only the first one arrives and all others are ignored.

I've tested by setting up two devices and dispatching a single notification to each of them which works perfectly. If I batch two at once, only one device receives the notification.

This also applies to group notification. If there is more than one device in the group, only the first device is notified.

Login button

Should be placed underneath the input fields like before, and the forgot password can be moved further down on the page.

Cannot send notification because of Broken Pipe error

Hey!

I have a problem with the gem, and maybe it's because of how I use it.

I didn't create any APN::App, I use APN::Device and APN::Notification to send individual notifications.
My problem is that I always register an Broken Pipe exception when I try to send like 10 notifications ... and I don't know why it happens, or how to fix that?

Then, when an exception is raised, we have no way to know which notification object raised this exception ... I would like to know it to mark it as "raising an exception" and so I'll not try to send it again, is it possible?

Thanks you in advance for your help!

Jeremy.

Child properties of the alert property

I don't see a way to add an alert dictionary in order to push a launch-image. When I add the following: {:question_id=>1234, :alert=>{"launch-image"=>"Default-AnswerReady.png"}}

APN is creating {:question_id => 1234, :alert => "launch-imageDefault-AnswerReady.png}

no such file to load -- apn_on_rails_tasks

Following the setup instructions, I've put this in my rakefile:

begin
require 'apn_on_rails_tasks'
rescue MissingSourceFile => e
puts e.message
end

But rake is not finding the file:

"no such file to load -- apn_on_rails_tasks "

I have the 0.4.0 version installed in vendor/gems/apn_on_rails-0.4.0/ so I was able to get around this problem by changing my rakefile to:

begin
require 'vendor/gems/apn_on_rails-0.4.0/lib/apn_on_rails_tasks'
rescue MissingSourceFile => e
puts e.message
end

But that's not very convenient. It seems like the gem isn't being included in my path.

FYI I'm using rails 2.1.

Remove/Change puts log message

/app/models/apn/app.rb:134 puts "in APN::App.process_devices_for_cert"

Can that be removed? It's just filling the log file with a relatively useless message.

Fix confusing README.textile

I find it very confusing on this line...

app = APN::App.create(:apn_dev_cert => "PASTE YOUR DEV CERT HERE", :apn_prod_cert => "PASTE YOUR PROD CERT HERE")

The first thought I had when I saw "PASTE YOUR DEV CERT HERE" is to "Put the .cer file path in here". BUT! it is not! it should be the "content" of the .pem file. This is totally misleading and will cause newbies, like me, a lot of time to figure this out. I suggest you to change it to "PUT CONTENT OF .PEM FILE HERE - e.g. File.read('config/apn.pem')", so it would be much clearer.

And also you should tell to initialize RAILS_ROOT, APN::App::RAILS_ENV='development' in "config/configatron/development.rb and production.rb" as well. There will be a lot of iOS devs that don't know any ruby on rails come and pick this up and don't know how to do this.

And cannot use "~" sign for specifying directories, have to type in full path.

Can't make app = APN::App.create(:apn_dev_cert => "MY_DEV_CERT.pem", :apn_prod_cert => "MY_PROD_CERT.pem")

Hi, I'm working with Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.2.3 and apn_on_rails 0.5.1 to implement push notifications in my application.

When I run:

app = APN::App.create(:apn_dev_cert => "MY_DEV_CERT.pem", :apn_prod_cert => "MY_PROD_CERT.pem")

I get the following error:

ActiveModel :: MassAssignmentSecurity :: Error: Can not mass-assign protected attributes: apn_dev_cert, apn_prod_cert

Does anyone know what does it mean? Thank you.

rake apn:notifications:deliver not able to send all notifications

I have records in apn_notifications table with NIL 'sent_at'.
But after running command
rake apn:notifications:deliver

Some still remains with sent_at as NIL.

Is there any issue with gem or my following code.

def perform
tracker = PushTracker.find(@tracker_id)
begin
notifications = APN::Notification.all(:conditions => 'sent_at IS NULL')
if(!notifications.empty?)
tracker.start_sending = Time.now if tracker.start_sending.nil?
tracker.end_sending = Time.now
tracker.sending = true
tracker.save!
#send the notifications
system "rake apn:notifications:deliver"
#set up another delayed job in the future in case they all didn't go through
Delayed::Job.enqueue(PushSender.new(@tracker_id),0, 5.minutes.from_now)
else
tracker.clean! if defined?(tracker) && !tracker.nil?
end
rescue => e
HoptoadNotifier.notify(
:error_class => "Push Sender",
:error_message => "Push Sender Error: #{e.message}",
:request => {:tracker => tracker, :exception => e}
)
tracker.clean! if defined?(tracker) && !tracker.nil?
end

end

Note: I am running above piece of code as heroku delayed job.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thnaks.

App id

Can you show an example of creating the APN::App and storing the keys on it.

applications based on different Rails.env couldn't be recognised

code segment in lib/apn_on_rails/app/models/apn/app.rb
def cert
   (Rails.env == 'production' ? apn_prod_cert : apn_dev_cert)
 end

could it be changed to
def cert
   (Rails.env=='development' ? apn_dev_cert : apn_prod_cert)
 end

our projects are based on different Rails.env, and I need to use both apn_notification and apn_group_notification, so I couldn't use configatron(it doesn't support group notification)

please help me, THANKS!

Apn_on_rails uses deprecated globals RAILS_ENV and RAILS_ROOT

Should be Rails.env and Rails.root.to_s respectively, in order to be Rails3 kosher.

apn_bases table not exist

I am using rails 3.2.8
Is i want to add maunally this table "apn_bases" into my database.

Mysql2::Error: Table test_development.apn_bases' doesn't exist: SHOW FULL FIELDS FROM apn_bases

Is an app required?

The old version of apn_on_rails had no concept of apps. It was assumed you only had one set of certificates.

This new (and improved!) version lets you group devices by app; however, it's not clear if it's required.

If you only have one app, do you still need to define that app in the databse, or can you use apn_on_rails in a way backwards compatible with markbates' version?

apn:install generator not working on rails 2.3.14

Hi,

I guess the first question is - is Rails 2 no longer supported? If not, I'd recommend noting in the readme

my environment is

apn_on_rails 0.5.1 gem via bundler 1.1.3
Rails 2.3.14
Ruby 1.9.2-p290

I have require "apn_on_rails" in an initializer
I have require "apn_on_rails_tasks" in the Rakefile

~/my_app: bundle exec ./script/generate apn_on_rails:install
Couldn't find 'apn_on_rails:install' generator

The gem appears to be loaded in some form

~/my_app: bundle exec ./script/console
Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.14)

Unable to use APN with multiple apps because connection.rb hard-wired to use configatron

In lib/apn_on_rails/libs/connection.rb, the open private method uses configatron to get the APN cert, meaning it is impossible to actually use this gem to push from one server to multiple apps, even though the gem is supposed to be built that way.

Seems like configatron would be a reasonable option for applications that don't push to multiple apps, but this has to be more of a fallback than the ONLY way to specify a cert. Because each APN::App can have its own cert, that's where to look for the cert first, rather than looking in configatron.
