Free Push Messaging with the Pushbots Corona SDK Module

Don’t mean to bump this, but I tried using the examples code with my own application ID to test this. Even tried it in my current app and I can register devices no problem, but when i send pushes I don’t have any luck at all. 

any update on this? 

Hi,

The best bet is to email them (help@pushbots.com), sometimes it seems their systems gets stuck.  With that in mind I have plans to depreciate that module, so I would recommend looking at the Corona GameThrive(OneSignal) plugin and service.  It also includes free push messaging https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/GameThrivePushNotifications/

Cheers.

Hello All,

Since Chris wrote his demo, a few things have changed about pushes.  You need to include some additional things in build.settings and config.lua.

You also need to register the device via notification.registerForPushNotifications()

local notifications = require( "plugin.notifications" ) notifications.registerForPushNotifications()

You can download an updated version of Chris’ project here:

Then, compare it to Chris’ to see the difference.  After a few lines of additional code, it still works great!

Thanks Chris!  You’re a life saver!

@roaminggamer - Looks like you’re the life saver this time, fine Sir.  Thanks for reporting, and I will update this on the wiki.

Really appreciate you taking the time to do that.

Cheers.

You’re welcome Chris.  I should have e-mailed you but I kept forgetting.   :wacko:
