# react-native-push-with-gcm



[![npm

version](https://badge.fury.io/js/[email protected])](http://badge.fury.io/js/react-native-push-with-gcm)



Register device for GCM push notifications services.



## Installation



Make sure that you are in your React Native project directory and run:



```bash

npm install react-native-push-with-gcm --save

```



### Installing with rnpm



```bash

rnpm install react-native-push-with-gcm

```

will install the npm package and link it to your project.



If you already installed the package using the previous command,

```bash

rnpm link react-native-push-with-gcm

```

will magically link it



### Installing manually



#### iOS



In XCode, in the project navigator:

- Right click Libraries

- Add Files to [your project's name]

- Go to node_modules/react-native-push-with-gcm

- Add the Add the .xcodeproj file



In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project.



Add the libRCTPushWithGCM.a from the deviceinfo project to your project's

Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries

Click .xcodeproj file you added before in the project navigator and go

the Build Settings tab. Make sure 'All' is toggled on (instead of

'Basic').

Look for Header Search Paths and add this as `non-recursive`:

`$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-push-with-gcm/ios/RCTPushWithGCM/RCTPushWithGCM`



#### Android



- Edit `build.gradle` to look like this:

```java

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'



android {

  ...

}



dependencies {

  ...

+ compile project(':react-native-push-with-gcm')

}

```



- In `settings.gradle`, insert the following code:

```

include ':react-native-push-with-gcm'

project(':react-native-push-with-gcm').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-push-with-gcm/android')

```



## Requirements



- Google Cloud Messaging. You can find the instructions

  [here](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/ios/start).

- react-native



## Usage



### Setup



#### iOS



For iOS devices only, you'll need to configure and connect to GCM:



```javascript

var PushWithGCM = require('react-native-push-with-gcm')



componentDidMount() {

  PushWithGCM.configure()

}

```



Once your app registers for push notifications, grab that token

(PushNotificationsIOS will give this token as a string) and register

that token in GCM. You also need to supply a boolean value for your APNS

server sandbox option (hint: sandbox is used for development):



```javascript

PushWithGCM.registerToken(token, isSandbox)

```



To unregister a user from GCM service:

```javascript

PushWithGCM.unregisterToken()

```

> Note, you can only have one token or deleteToken call for a given

> authorizedEntity and scope at a point of time. Making another such

> call with the same authorizedEntity and scope before the last one

> finishes will result in an error with code OperationInProgress.

>

> (from the

> [docs](https://developers.google.com/instance-id/reference/ios/api/interface_g_g_l_instance_i_d.html#method-detail))



#### Android



- Get a `GCM_SENDER_ID` by registering your app in the following [link](https://developers.google.com/mobile/add).



- Edit your MainActivity.java to look like this:

```

package com.myapp;



+ import com.oblador.keychain.KeychainPackage;

....



public class MainActivity extends extends ReactActivity {



  @Override

  protected List getPackages() {

      return Arrays.asList(

              new MainReactPackage(),

+             new PushWithGCMPackage()

      );

  }

  ...

}

```



- Create a GCM listener service to handle received notifications:



```

package com.myklarnamobile;



import com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmListenerService;



public class PushWithGCMListenerService extends GcmListenerService {

    @Override

    public void OnMessage(String from, Bundle data) {

    // Customized notification handling.

    }

}

```



> For more information, read [overview of GCM message format] (https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/concept-options#notifications_and_data_messages) and [guide for implementing a GCM listener service](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/downstream).



- Edit your AndroidManifest.xml to look like this:



```



    ...

+   

+   

+   



    

      ...

+     

+       

+         

+         

+           

+       

+     

+     

+       

+         

+       

+     

+     

+       

+         

+       

+     

    



```



### Subscription to topics

If there are topics you'd like this device to be registered to, you can

easily do that too. after registration send an array of all the topics

to register to:



```javascript

PushWithGCM.subscribeToTopics(['push', 'with', 'gcm'])

```

These topics will be registered as `/topics/push`, `/topics/with` and

`/topics/gcm`.



When you're done with these topics, simply call

```js

PushWithGCM.unsubscribeFromTopics(['first-time-users'])

```



## Troubleshooting



If you installed GoogleCloudMessaging using cocoapods (which is the

recommended way, so awesome) and are having trouble with compiling the

app, make sure these properties are set properly in your XCode project:



- add `$(inherited)` to `Other Linker Flags` (or `OTHER_LDFLAGS`)

- set `Enable Modules` to `YES`

- set `iOS Deployment Target` to `7.1` at least

- set `Enable Bitcode` to `NO`
