"Push Notifications Guide" doesn't mention AppDelegate.swift

[adhalejr]

This article is quite helpful (though I'd love a React version): https://capawesome.io/blog/the-push-notifications-guide-for-capacitor/

But it doesn't say anything about required changes to AppDelegate.swift.

The documentation for the plugin itself: https://capawesome.io/plugins/firebase/cloud-messaging/#ios

mentions multiple changes to that file, along with possible / optional changes to that file and to Info.plist.

Which is correct? Will things fail completely if AppDelegate.swift doesn't have those changes?

Thank you for pointing this out. I have updated the blog post. This was indeed missing.

I appreciate the reply. A github repo with this particular article's specific code would be terrifically useful. The demo app linked from the plugin's github page doesn't match this article.

Thanks again.

The demo app linked from the plugin's github page doesn't match this article.

What makes you think that? I created the demo app along with the article and everything should match.

The guide has a link to the plugin: https://capawesome.io/plugins/firebase/cloud-messaging/

That page has a link to a demo / "working example": https://github.com/robingenz/capacitor-firebase-plugin-demo

When I look at that demo as compared to the guide, I don't see:

• A google-services.json file under the android project / folder
• A GoogleService-Info.plist file under the ios project / folder
• The src/app/homehome.page.ts file referenced in the article
• etc.

If I'm misunderstanding something, please let me know.

IMO, it would be helpful if the guide article itself had a link to the demo / working example that exactly matched the final result of what the article documents.

Thank you again.

The guide also has a link to this demo app: https://github.com/robingenz/ionic-capacitor-firebase-messaging-demo

Thanks to the Capacitor Firebase Cloud Messaging plugin, once successfully configured, you get a single API for all three platforms.
You can find the complete app on GitHub.

Thank you. I looked for such a link in the guide but didn't find it. I've found it now, and that demo app seems to have everything from the article.

Thanks again.
