ISSUES

The following tips are for users of this plugin who want to get help.

Read the docs

I'll be the first to admit that the docs are not perfect but start here at the README to see if your problem is documented. If it isn't continue on but if you do get an answer then consider sending a documentation pull request.

Search the issues

Your question may have already been answered. Make sure you search at least the repo's issues before you create a new one.

Opening a new issue

If you have searched the issues and haven't found anything that resembles your problem then follow these guidelines in creating a new issue.

Provide details

Give as many details as possible. Issues without many details will be more difficult to debug and will encounter delays.

Select a concise, informative title for the issue. Here's a good article on writing subject lines.

Include the following at a minimum: _ what version number of plugin are you using?

  • which platform and version you are testing on? iOS 9.0, Android 5.0, etc.
  • a detailed description of your problem. Including:
    • steps to reproduce
    • expected result
    • actual result
  • how you are sending the push data to the device, including an example payload

You may also want to include:

  • some sample code that illustrates the problem.
  • logs taken while the problem was reproduced.
  • screenshots!

If the code or logs are huge, let's say over 20 lines please think about using a web service like Gist or Pastebin.

An example issue

The wrong way

Title: This plugin does not work for me

Details: Please fix quickly as my business depends on this plugin.

The right way

Title: Registration event never received on Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.3

Details: I'm using version 1.5.2 of this plugin on my Samsung Galaxy S5 device which runs Android 4.4. I never receiving the registration event in my application when I expect it to return a value I can send to my push service.

You can see the code I'm using in this gist: https://gist.github.com/macdonst/191f74ac75b6802c047d

And an output of the logs when trying to run the app are in this gist: https://gist.github.com/macdonst/47549150c299080c455c

Please point me in the right direction.

Response:

Thanks for the detailed logs and example code by looking them over I'm sure of what your problem is. If you look at line 334 of your logcat you will see that it complains that:

I/chromium(11669): [INFO:CONSOLE(54)] "Uncaught ReferenceError: PushNotification is not defined", source: file:///android_asset/www/js/index.js (54)

This leads me to line 4 of your code where you are initializing push before you get the deviceready event. Like all Cordova API's you have to wait until you receive the deviceready event before you initialize Push.

Check out https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/20f489a90cf519f962fd957700f92115f142594b/example/www/js/index.js for an example of how to wait for deviceready.
