null Installation ID

[andrescruz]

I installed the plugin to my Ionic project but I'm getting a null value as a result from ParsePushPlugin.getInstallationId. I'm using a parse-service provider (parseground.com) so I'm not sure if this may have something to do with the way its installed.

We need a bit more info to solve this problem. Is this Android or iOS? Are you able to setup a local toy server for your app to see if push notification works? I wrote a brief quickstart guide that might help.

Also, there is a chance that serverUrl might have been mispelled or incorrect in your plugin setup.

Thanks for the quick response!

I haven't set up the local server. It is for iOS, for now, and the serverUrl is correct. Also, I made sure that the config.xml file contained the preference tags with the correct values.

Let me know what other details I can provide to you to debug this issue. Thanks!

I've just rigged up a simple test app based on the ionic blank template, and I ran into a weird issue as described here. Search for Elvistelefon comment on Aug 6, 2014.

Basically the $ionicPlatform.ready block in app.js died during the setup for keyboard plugin. This seems to prevent other plugins' initialization to happen properly for my simple setup. It also prevented other calls to $ionicPlatform.ready from firing. Removing and re-adding the keyboard plugin somehow fixed things. After I did just that, I was able to retrieve my installationId just fine.

Not sure if that's related to your problem but it should only take a couple minutes to find out.

Hey @andrescruz , were you able to fix your problem?

If not, please try it out on the example app setup I have added. There is a sample ionic app designed for quick testing parse-push and there is also a corresponding parse-server app to go with it. All instructions are there in the example dir.
