Set up rich push

Updated

Set up your app to support push notifications with images and deep links.

1. Add a service extension to your project

Add a Service App Extension to your project in Xcode.

You should now see a new file added to your Xcode project. The file is probably named NotificationService and looks similar to this.

import UserNotifications
   
class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
   
    override func didReceive(
        _ request: UNNotificationRequest,
        withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void
    ) {
   
    }
   
    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
   
    }
}

2. Update the service extension

Modify your new NotificationService extension by selecting the push package you want to import and calling the appropriate Customer.io functions. Your code changes if:

  • Customer.io is your only push/rich push provider

  • Customer.io is not your only provider

  • You want to take advantage of push features outside the Customer.io, like action buttons; in this case, you’ll need to set your own completion handler.

// Keep the import for your push provider—FCM or APN, and
// remove the other import statement
import CioMessagingPushAPN 
import CioMessagingPushFCM 
import UserNotifications

class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
    var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?
    var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?

    override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
       // Use `MessagingPushFCM` if you are using FCM as push service provider
       MessagingPushAPN.initializeForExtension(
            withConfig: MessagingPushConfigBuilder(cdpApiKey: "YOUR_CDP_API_KEY")
                .build()
       )

       MessagingPush.shared.didReceive(request, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
    }

    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        MessagingPush.shared.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
    }
}
// Keep the import for your push provider—FCM or APN, and
// remove the other import statement
import CioMessagingPushFCM
import CioMessagingPushAPN
import UserNotifications
   
class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
   
    override func didReceive(
        _ request: UNNotificationRequest,
        withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void
    ) {
        // Due to the behavior of Notification Service Extensions in iOS, you need to 
        // initialize the Push Module in both your host app and in your Notification Service.         
        // The config builder also lets you you to configure the push module.
       // Use `MessagingPushFCM` if you use FCM as your push service provider
       MessagingPushAPN.initializeForExtension(
            withConfig: MessagingPushConfigBuilder(cdpApiKey: "YOUR_CDP_API_KEY")
                .autoTrackPushEvents(true)
                .build()
       )

        // If you use a service other than Customer.io to send rich push,
        // you can check if the SDK handled the rich push for you. If it did not, you
        // know that the push was *not* sent by Customer.io and you can try another way.
        let handled = MessagingPush.shared.didReceive(request, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
        if !handled {
            // Rich push was *not* sent by Customer.io. Handle the rich push in another way.
        }
    }
   
    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        MessagingPush.shared.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
    }
}
// Keep the import for your push provider—FCM or APN, and
// remove the other import statement
import CioMessagingPushFCM
import CioMessagingPushAPN
import UserNotifications
import CioDataPipelines
   
class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {
   
    override func didReceive(
        _ request: UNNotificationRequest,
        withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void
    ) {
        // Due to the behavior of Notification Service Extensions in iOS, you need to 
        // initialize the Push Module in both your host app and in your Notification Service.         
        // The config builder also lets you you to configure the push module.
        // Use `MessagingPushFCM` if you use FCM as your push service provider
       MessagingPushAPN.initializeForExtension(
            withConfig: MessagingPushConfigBuilder(cdpApiKey: "YOUR_CDP_API_KEY")
                .autoTrackPushEvents(true)
                .build()
       )

        // If you need to add features, like showing action buttons in your push, 
        // you can set your own completion handler.
        MessagingPush.shared.didReceive(request) { notificationContent in
            if let mutableContent = notificationContent.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent {
                // Modify the push notification like adding action buttons!
            }
            contentHandler(notificationContent)
        }
    }
   
    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        MessagingPush.shared.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
    }
}

Your app can now display rich push notifications in your app, including images, etc. See Deep Links to enable deep links in your push notifications.
