Appgyver Steroids and Android push notifications even possible?

759 views Asked by At

Been trying to get Steroids working with push notifications on Android and keep hitting a brick wall.

As far as I can see, there's no official support for https://github.com/AppGyver/PushPlugin, and the Urban Airship addon is currently iOS only.

When I set the custom plugin in the build configuration, I get some pretty nasty build errors. This is with just a freshly created and deployed steroids project, and just generally can't even get to the point where I have a build to play around with push notifications :(

There was some rumbling about the devs prioritising pushplugin around Dec 2013, but unsure if that ever actually materialised?

So I have:

steroids create pushTest

steroids deploy

...then I goto https://cloud.appgyver.com/applications/, configure my app in the android tab by adding this to the custom plugins...

[
  {"source":"https://github.com/AppGyver/PushPlugin.git"}
]

Then run a build on 4.0.2. I am trying a scanner build, tried ARM, x86, and both, and keep coming back with build issues as above, or on some of the other forks ones that are a bit more vague, but I suspect those forks to be old.

So my question: Is it even possible to get push notifications working with Steroids under Android?

There's now an officially supported fork of the Push Plugin which works with the AppGyver Android Client: https://github.com/AppGyver/PushNotifications

The minimum required version for the Android client is 4.0.4-edge3.

Please see the Push Notification guide for instructions how to create the required iOS Certificates and the Google GCM API key.
