Firebase Cloud Messaging AppDelegate Error

Question

This is code in the Firebase Docs.

if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        let authOptions : UNAuthorizationOptions = [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound]
        UNUserNotificationCenter.currentNotificationCenter().requestAuthorizationWithOptions(
            authOptions,
            completionHandler: {_,_ in })

        // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
        UNUserNotificationCenter.currentNotificationCenter().delegate = self
        // For iOS 10 data message (sent via FCM)
        FIRMessaging.messaging().remoteMessageDelegate = self

    } else {
        let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound], categories: nil)
        application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
    }

I didn't modified any line of code. But Xcode says "Use of undeclared type UNAuthorizationOptions, UNUserNotificationCenter, FIRMessagingDelegate"

and I have one more line.

NotificationCenter.defaultCenter.addObserver(self,selector: #selector(self.tokenRefreshNotification),name: kFIRInstanceIDTokenRefreshNotification,object: nil)

It says "Value of Type AppDelegate has no member tokenRefreshNotification"

I just copied and pasted my code from firebase docs but there is error!

Solution 1

The example in Firebase docs is outdated. Here is the code for most recent Xcode 9 and Swift 3:

import Firebase
import UserNotifications

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {


    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {


        FIRApp.configure()

        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            let authOptions : UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
                options: authOptions,
                completionHandler: {_,_ in })

            // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
            // For iOS 10 data message (sent via FCM)
             Messaging.messaging().delegate = self                
        }

        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()

        return true
    }
}


@available(iOS 10, *)
extension AppDelegate : UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {

    // Receive displayed notifications for iOS 10 devices.

    func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
        let userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo
        // Print message ID.
        print("Message ID: \(userInfo["gcm.message_id"]!)")

        // Print full message.
        print("%@", userInfo)

    }

}

extension AppDelegate : MessagingDelegate {
// Receive data message on iOS 10 devices.
func applicationReceivedRemoteMessage(_ remoteMessage: MessagingRemoteMessage) {
    print("%@", remoteMessage.appData)
    }
}

Solution 3

You need to add the following imports to your file:

import Firebase
import FirebaseMessaging
import UserNotifications

You also need a method named tokenRefreshNotification similar to the following:

func tokenRefreshNotification() {
    let fcmDeviceToken = FIRInstanceID.instanceID().token()
    // TODO: Send token to server
}

So, I must use Xcode 8? When I import UserNotifications in Xcode 7.3.1 I get error: No such module 'UserNotifications'...

[neobie]

means no chance to support ios 7 and earlier ?

[Mago Nicolas Palacios]

And how Do I subscribe to a Topic? Using : [[FIRMessaging messaging] subscribeToTopic:@"/topics/news"] gives me an error: expected "," separator.

[Alexey]

Did you @import Firebase; ?

[Pavlos]

II tried that but when I send test notification I don't get any sound with the notification.. do you know why?

[Alexey]

Do you send the notification from console or through API? If you are using console, make sure your message has highest priority and all other relevant attributes (can be configured in the "send notification" form).

I am trying to set the remoteMessageDelegate in objective c but it doesn't exist, kindly what is the alternative code for objective c?

[kemdo]
