Quick start guide

This guide is designed to get you up and running with Mobile Messaging SDK plugin for Cordova:

1. Make sure to setup application at Infobip portal, if you haven't already.

2. Add MobileMessaging plugin to your project, run in terminal:

   $ cordova plugin add com-infobip-plugins-mobilemessaging --save

   You can add typings if you are using TypeScript in yours project

   npm install --save-dev @types/mobile-messaging-cordova

   expand to see Ionic code

   ionic cordova plugin add com-infobip-plugins-mobilemessaging --save
   npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/mobile-messaging --save

3. Configure platforms

   1. iOS: Integrate Notification Service Extension into your app in order to obtain:
      • more accurate processing of messages and delivery stats
      • support of rich notifications on the lock screen
   2. Android:
      1. Get the Firebase configuration file (google-services.json) as described in Firebase documentation and put it to the root application folder.
      2. Add following to your config.xml

            <platform name="android">
               <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />
               <preference name="GradlePluginGoogleServicesEnabled" value="true"/>
               ...
            </platform>

   Notice:

   Geofencing is not supported in 3.0.0-rc release, will be added in next releases

4. Configure Huawei build

   1. Configure Huawei application

   2. Change plaform/android/build.gradle

          
          buildscript {
              repositories {
                  mavenCentral()
                  google()
                  maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' } // Added for Huawei support
              }
          
              dependencies {
                  ...
                  classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.0.300' // Added for Huawei support
              }
          }
      
          allprojects {
              repositories {
                  mavenCentral()
                  google()
                  maven {url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/'} // Added for Huawei support
              }
              ...
          }
      

   3. Change plaform/android/app/build.gradle

          apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
          apply plugin: 'com.huawei.agconnect' // Added for Huawei support
          
          dependencies {
                 implementation 'com.huawei.hms:push:6.3.0.302' // Added for Huawei support
          }
      

   4. Sign your app to provide config for Generated Signing Certificate Fingerprint at previous step. You can change plaform/android/app/build.gradle or write sign config to build.json

         android {
      
             signingConfigs {
                 release {
                     storeFile file(<path to *.jks file>)
                     storePassword "<password>"
                     keyAlias "<alias>"
                     keyPassword "<password>"
                 }
             }
             buildTypes {
                 release {
                     signingConfig signingConfigs.release
                 }
                 debug {
                     signingConfig signingConfigs.release
                 }
             }
      
             ...
      

   5. Download agconnect-services.json from AppGallery Connect and copy it to platforms/android/app.

      a. Find your App from the list and click the link under Android App in the Mobile phone column.

      b. Go to Develop > Overview.

      c. In the App information area, Click agconnect-services.json to download the configuration file.

   6. Add Huawei App ID via plugin variable in config.xml :

         <plugin name="com-infobip-plugins-mobilemessaging" spec="...">
             <variable name="HUAWEI_SENDER_ID" value="Huawei App ID" />
         </plugin>

      You can take this value from agconnect-services.json.

   7. Remove, if following was added to config.xml

         <platform name="android">
             <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />
             <preference name="GradlePluginGoogleServicesEnabled" value="true"/>
             ...
         </platform>

   8. Run cordova build android --hms to make build for HMS.

      Note that if you are developing / testing FCM and HMS at the same device then better to remove cache for installed app, remove app and after that install build with other push cloud.

5. Add code to your project to initialize the library after deviceready event with configuration options and library event listener:

   onDeviceReady: function () {
       ...
       MobileMessaging.init({
               applicationCode: '<your_application_code>',
               geofencingEnabled: '<true/false>',
               ios: {
                   notificationTypes: ['alert', 'badge', 'sound']
               },
               android: {
                   notificationIcon: <String; a resource name for a status bar icon (without extension), located in '/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/mipmap'>,
                   multipleNotifications: <Boolean; set to 'true' to enable multiple notifications>,
                   notificationAccentColor: <String; set to hex color value in format '#RRGGBB' or '#AARRGGBB'>
               }
           },
           function(error) {
               console.log('Init error: ' + error.description);
           }
       );
   
       MobileMessaging.register('messageReceived', 
           function(message) {
               console.log('Message Received: ' + message.body);
           }
       );
   
       ...
   }

   Add this code to app.module.ts::

   import { MobileMessaging } from '@ionic-native/mobile-messaging/ngx';
   
   ...
   
   @NgModule({
    ...
   
     providers: [
       ...
       MobileMessaging
       ...
     ]
     ...
   })
   export class AppModule { }

     templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
     styleUrls: ['app.component.scss']
   })
   export class AppComponent {
     constructor(
       private platform: Platform,
       private splashScreen: SplashScreen,
       private statusBar: StatusBar,
       private mobileMessaging: MobileMessaging
     ) {
       this.initializeApp();
     }
   
   ...
   
     this.mobileMessaging.init({
       applicationCode: '<your_application_code>',
       geofencingEnabled: '<true/false>',
       ios: {
         notificationTypes: ['alert', 'badge', 'sound']

         multipleNotifications: <Boolean; set to 'true' to enable multiple notifications>,
         notificationAccentColor: <String; set to hex color value in format '#RRGGBB' or '#AARRGGBB'>
      }}, (err) => {
        ...

        ...
      });
