unable to register (com.google.iid error 1005.)

Question

I'm attempting to integrate GCM into our iOS app. I've followed the instructions to update our project for GCM to no avail. Everything I try to register I get:

Registration to GCM failed with error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.google.iid error 1005.)

Which GLLInstance.h say:

  /// Should call `startWithConfig:` before requesting token.
  kGGLInstanceIDOperationErrorCodeInvalidStart = 1005,

I am calling :

[[GCMService sharedInstance] startWithConfig:[GCMConfig defaultConfig]];

before registering for notifications... There aren't any obvious errors from GCM This IS on a device... (just trying to eliminate the obvious)

What next steps should I try?

Answer 1

As usual as soon as I post a question to SO, the answer leaps out at me.

The routine:

[[GCMService sharedInstance] startWithConfig:[GCMConfig defaultConfig]];

which I knew I was calling in:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

right before

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];

was needed in two locations... I missed that. Once I added it just before the call:

[[GGLInstanceID sharedInstance] tokenWithAuthorizedEntity:_gcmSenderID
                                                    scope:kGGLInstanceIDScopeGCM
                                                  options:_registrationOptions
                                                  handler:_registrationHandler];

in:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {

everything started working. Delightful...
