Frequently Asked Questions
GeneralÂ
How do I enable my app to get Push Notifications?
To get Push Notifications, first enable sending and receiving push notifications, and then allow Mapp Cloud to send notifications from your app.
For step-by-step instructions:After allowing your app to send and receive Push Notifications, you need a server to handle these notifications.
To enable the Mapp Cloud sever to handle your notifications follow documentation.
For step-by-step instructions:Android: add the Mapp Cloud Android SDK code to your app code, see Android SDK Integration for Mapp Cloud.Â
iOS: add the Mapp Cloud iOS SDK code to your app code, see iOS SDK Integration for Mapp Cloud.
Mapp Cloud released a new SDK version. Do I need to update my Mapp Cloud SDK integration?
Yes: We recommend that you always update your app to use the latest Mapp Cloud SDK version.Â
Note that the SDK version number has an "x.y.z" format (for example: "1.0.7"), indicating if the updates are major or minor:
For major versions, one of the first two version numbers ("x" or "y") are updated.
For minor versions, only the last number ("z") is updated.
Why are devices not receiving push notifications?
Ensure that devices have opted in to receive push notifications for that app.
Ensure that the SDK is implemented correctly to register the devices with Mapp Cloud.
If you see on the dashboard that some of your users don't receive push notifications, than either they have uninstalled your application, or their device tokens are invalid. In this case, push notification is not received on the end. Under the Messaging dashboard, you will see how many invalid push notification tokens there are, per each push notification sent.
