How to get One Signal user's unique player id in iOS?

Question

How to retrieve the OneSignal users' unique player id in iOS? I only found iOS SDK Setup in OneSignal Official Documentation.

Thanks if any suggestions are given.

You need to use OneSignal's observers such as OSSubscriptionObserver.

// Add OSSubscriptionObserver after UIApplicationDelegate
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, OSSubscriptionObserver {

   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
      // Add your AppDelegate as an subscription observer
      OneSignal.add(self as OSSubscriptionObserver)
   }

   // After you add the observer on didFinishLaunching, this method will be called when the notification subscription property changes. 
   func onOSSubscriptionChanged(_ stateChanges: OSSubscriptionStateChanges!) {
      if !stateChanges.from.subscribed && stateChanges.to.subscribed {
         print("Subscribed for OneSignal push notifications!")
      }
      print("SubscriptionStateChange: \n\(stateChanges)")

      //The player id is inside stateChanges. But be careful, this value can be nil if the user has not granted you permission to send notifications. 
      if let playerId = stateChanges.to.userId {
         print("Current playerId \(playerId)")
      }
   }
}

For a better explanation, here is the documentation for addSubscriptionObserver

I do need to get the Player Id (Or UserId) somewhere inside my code, and i dont want to save it anywhere.

I ended up using this code:

let userId = OneSignal.getPermissionSubscriptionState().subscriptionStatus.userId

I think it's to hard for such thing. OneSignal should print player id in logs.

onOSSubscriptionChanged not called.

Hi @MBH, when I used the your code let userId = OneSignal.getPermissionSubscriptionState().subscriptionStatu‌​s.userId , I am getting the following error "MUST PROVIDE A VALID CALLBACK"

[Protocol]

in my case ononOSSubscriptionChanged not called. Please suggest why it is not called still objserver is add in didFinishLaunching method.

Nice Answer actually OneSignal store player id by default into sharePrefrence (Android) and UserDefaults (ioS)
