SNS JSON not being sent completely to the iOS device

[Migoo]

Hello,

I'm trying to send a custom message through SNS on both Android and iOS devices.

Here is the json i'm sending to the publish method of Aws::SNS::Client.new:

{
      default: push_notification_text(locale),
      GCM: {
        data: {
          offer_preview: {
            title: website.name,
            content: push_notification_text(locale),
            offer_id: id
          }
        }
      }.to_json,
      APNS: {
        aps: {
          alert: {
            title: website.name,
            body: push_notification_text(locale)
          },
          payload: {
            website_identifier: website.identifier,
            type: 'offer_preview',
            id: id
          }
        }.to_json
      }
    }.to_json

For the GCM it's working fine. But for iOS the device receive only the aps key of the json. the payload are not send to the device.

I try many things to fix it, but I didn't find any working solution.
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for helping

I'm noticing the :to_json calls embedded at multiple points. Is this intentional? Perhaps you could pull out the generated JSON string (anonymizing as needed) to verify. This looks like either a usage issue or service issue on the surface.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
in Fact we found the solution, here is the modified json:

{
      default: push_notification_text(locale),
      GCM: {
        data: {
          offer_preview: {
            title: website.name,
            content: push_notification_text(locale),
            offer_id: id
          }
        }
      }.to_json,
      APNS: {
        aps: {
          alert: {
            title: website.name,
            body: push_notification_text(locale)
          },
          payload: {
            website_identifier: website.identifier,
            type: 'offer_preview',
            id: id
          }
        }
      }.to_json
    }.to_json

note that we just move a to_json from aps to APNS object.

And yes it's intentional to have the multiple json. It's inspired by this Php issue on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18845984/how-to-send-extra-parameters-in-payload-via-amazon-sns-push-notification

It was really tricky to implement and find a working solution.
I'm wondering if it's possible to have this json serialization directly in the gem. Like this we just have to pass our hash.

here is our ouptut serialized json:
{:default=>"Qwine.ch: Port Charlotte Scottish Barley pour 89.– au lieu de 119.90", :GCM=>"{\"data\":{\"offer_preview\":{\"title\":\"Qwine.ch\",\"content\":\"Qwine.ch: Port Charlotte Scottish Barley pour 89.– au lieu de 119.90\",\"offer_id\":1000012}}}", :APNS=>"{\"aps\":{\"alert\":{\"title\":\"Qwine.ch\",\"body\":\"Qwine.ch: Port Charlotte Scottish Barley pour 89.– au lieu de 119.90\"},\"sound\":\"default\",\"payload\":{\"website_identifier\":\"qwineqoqach\",\"type\":\"offer_preview\",\"id\":1000012}}}", :APNS_SANDBOX=>"{\"aps\":{\"alert\":{\"title\":\"Qwine.ch\",\"body\":\"Qwine.ch: Port Charlotte Scottish Barley pour 89.– au lieu de 119.90\"},\"sound\":\"default\",\"payload\":{\"website_identifier\":\"qwineqoqach\",\"type\":\"offer_preview\",\"id\":1000012}}}"}

Thanks a lot for helping and improving the gem if possible
