=APN on Rails (Apple Push Notifications on Rails)
|
2
|
+
|
3
|
+
APN on Rails is a Ruby on Rails gem that allows you to easily add Apple Push Notification (iPhone)
|
4
|
+
support to your Rails application.
|
5
|
+
|
6
|
+
It supports:
|
7
|
+
* Multiple iPhone apps managed from the same Rails application as well as a legacy default "app" with certs stored in config
|
8
|
+
* Individual notifications and group notifications
|
9
|
+
* Alerts, badges, sounds, and custom properties in notifications
|
10
|
+
* Pull notifications
|
11
|
+
|
12
|
+
== Feature Descriptions
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
Multiple iPhone Apps: In previous versions of this gem a single Rails application was set up to
|
15
|
+
manage push notifications for a single iPhone app. In many cases it is useful to have a single Rails
|
16
|
+
app manage push notifications for multiple iPhone apps. With the addition of an APN::App model, this
|
17
|
+
is now possible. The certificates are now stored on instances of APN::App and devices are intended to be associated
|
18
|
+
with a particular app. For compatibility with existing implementations it is still possible to create devices that
|
19
|
+
are not associated with an APN::App and to send individual notifications to them using the certs stored in the
|
20
|
+
config directory.
|
21
|
+
|
22
|
+
Individual and Group Notifications: Previous versions of this gem treated each notification individually
|
23
|
+
and did not provide a built-in way to send a broadcast notification to a group of devices. Group notifications
|
24
|
+
are now built into the gem. A group notification is associated with a group of devices and shares its
|
25
|
+
contents across the entire group of devices. (Group notifications are only available for groups of devices associated
|
26
|
+
with an APN::App)
|
27
|
+
|
28
|
+
Notification Content Areas: Notifications may contain alerts, badges, sounds, and custom properties.
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
Pull Notifications: This version of the gem supports an alternative notification method that relies
|
31
|
+
on pulls from client devices and does not interact with the Apple Push Notification servers. This feature
|
32
|
+
may be used entirely independently of the push notification features. Pull notifications may be
|
33
|
+
created for an app. A client app can query for the most recent pull notification available since a
|
34
|
+
given date to retrieve any notifications waiting for it.
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
==Version 0.4.1 Notes
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
* Backwards compatibility. 0.4.0 required a manual upgrade to associate existing and new devices with an APN::App model. This version allows continued use of devices that are associated with a default "app" that stores its certificates in the config directory. This ought to allow upgrade to this version without code changes.
|
39
|
+
* Batched finds. Finds on the APN::Device model that can return large numbers of records have been batched to limit memory impact.
|
40
|
+
* Custom properties migration. At a pre-0.4.0 version the custom_properties attribute was added to the migration template that created the notifications table. This introduced a potential problem for gem users who had previously run this migration. The custom_properties alteration to the apn_notifications table has been moved to its own migration and should work regardless of whether your apn_notifications table already has a custom_properties attribute.
|
41
|
+
* last_registered_at changed to work intuitively. The last_registered_at attribute of devices was being updated only on creation potentially causing a bug in which a device that opts out of APNs and then opts back in before apn_on_rails received feedback about it might miss a period of APNs that it should receive.
|

==Acknowledgements:
|
44
|
+
|
45
|
+
From Mark Bates:
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
This gem is a re-write of a plugin that was written by Fabien Penso and Sam Soffes.
|
48
|
+
Their plugin was a great start, but it just didn't quite reach the level I hoped it would.
|
49
|
+
I've re-written, as a gem, added a ton of tests, and I would like to think that I made it
|
50
|
+
a little nicer and easier to use.
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
From Rebecca Nesson (PRX.org):
|
53
|
+
|
54
|
+
This gem extends the original version that Mark Bates adapted. His gem did the hard
|
55
|
+
work of setting up and handling all communication with the Apple push notification servers.
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
==Converting Your Certificate:
|
58
|
+
|
59
|
+
Once you have the certificate from Apple for your application, export your key
|
60
|
+
and the apple certificate as p12 files. Here is a quick walkthrough on how to do this:
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
1. Click the disclosure arrow next to your certificate in Keychain Access and select the certificate and the key.
|
63
|
+
2. Right click and choose `Export 2 items...`.
|
64
|
+
3. Choose the p12 format from the drop down and name it `cert.p12`.
|
65
|
+
|
66
|
+
Now covert the p12 file to a pem file:
|
67
|
+
|
68
|
+
$ openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out apple_push_notification_production.pem -nodes -clcerts
|
69
|
+
|
70
|
+
If you are using a development certificate, then change the name to apple_push_notification_development.pem instead.
|
71
|
+
|
72
|
+
Store the contents of the certificate files on the app model for the app you want to send notifications to.
|
73
|
+
|
74
|
+
==Installing:
|
75
|
+
|
76

|
+
|
99
|
+
Add the following require, wherever it makes sense to you:
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
require 'apn_on_rails'
|
102
|
+
|
103
|
+
You also need to add the following to your Rakefile so you can use the
|
104
|
+
Rake tasks that ship with APN on Rails:
|
105
|
+
|
106
|
+
begin
|
107
|
+
require 'apn_on_rails_tasks'
|
108
|
+
rescue MissingSourceFile => e
|
109
|
+
puts e.message
|
110
|
+
end
|
111
|
+
|
112
|
+
Now, to create the tables you need for APN on Rails, run the following task:
|
113
|
+
|
114
|
+
$ ruby script/generate apn_migrations
|
115
|
+
|
116
|
+
APN on Rails uses the Configatron gem, http://github.com/markbates/configatron/tree/master,
|
117
|
+
to configure itself. (With the change to multi-app support, the certifications are stored in the
|
118
|
+
database rather than in the config directory, however, it is still possible to use the default "app" and the certificates
|
119
|
+
stored in the config directory. For this setup, the following configurations apply.)
|
120
|
+
APN on Rails has the following default configurations that you change as you see fit:
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
# development (delivery):
|
123
|
+
configatron.apn.passphrase # => ''
|
124
|
+
configatron.apn.port # => 2195
|
125
|
+
configatron.apn.host # => 'gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com'
|
126
|
+
configatron.apn.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_development.pem')
|
127
|
+
|
128
|
+
# production (delivery):
|
129
|
+
configatron.apn.host # => 'gateway.push.apple.com'
|
130
|
+
configatron.apn.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_production.pem')
|
131
|
+
|
132
|
+
# development (feedback):
|
133
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.passphrase # => ''
|
134
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.port # => 2196
|
135
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.host # => 'feedback.sandbox.push.apple.com'
|
136
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_development.pem')
|
137
|
+
|
138
|
+
# production (feedback):
|
139
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.host # => 'feedback.push.apple.com'
|
140
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_production.pem')
|
141
|
+
|
142
|
+
That's it, now you're ready to start creating notifications.
|
143
|
+
|
144
|
+
===Upgrade Notes:
|
145
|
+
|
146
|
+
If you are upgrading to a new version of APN on Rails you should always run:
|
147
|
+
|
148
|
+
$ ruby script/generate apn_migrations
|
149
|
+
|
150
|
+
That way you ensure you have the latest version of the database tables needed.
|
151
|
+
|
152
|
+
==Example (assuming you have created an app and stored your keys on it):
|
153
|
+
|
154
|
+
$ ./script/console
|
155
|
+
>> app = APN::App.create(:name => "My App", :apn_dev_cert => "PASTE YOUR DEV CERT HERE", :apn_prod_cert => "PASTE YOUR PROD CERT HERE")
|
156
|
+
>> device = APN::Device.create(:token => "XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX",:app_id => app.id)
|
157
|
+
>> notification = APN::Notification.new
|
158
|
+
>> notification.device = device
|
159
|
+
>> notification.badge = 5
|
160
|
+
>> notification.sound = true
|
161
|
+
>> notification.alert = "foobar"
|
162
|
+
>> notification.custom_properties = {:link => "http://www.prx.org"}
|
163
|
+
>> notification.save
|
164
|
+
|
165
|
+
You can use the following Rake task to deliver your individual notifications:
|
166
|
+
|
167
|
+
$ rake apn:notifications:deliver
|
168
|
+
|
169
|
+
And the following task to deliver your group notifications:
|
170
|
+
|
171
|
+
$ rake apn:group_notifications:deliver
|
172
|
+
|
173
|
+
The Rake task will find any unsent notifications in the database. If there aren't any notifications
|
174
|
+
it will simply do nothing. If there are notifications waiting to be delivered it will open a single connection
|
175
|
+
to Apple and push all the notifications through that one connection. Apple does not like people opening/closing
|
176
|
+
connections constantly, so it's pretty important that you are careful about batching up your notifications so
|
177
|
+
Apple doesn't shut you down.

h1. APN on Rails (Apple Push Notifications on Rails)
|
2
|
+
|
3
|
+
APN on Rails is a Ruby on Rails gem that allows you to easily add Apple Push Notification (iPhone)
|
4
|
+
support to your Rails application.
|
5
|
+
|
6
|
+
It supports:
|
7
|
+
* Multiple iPhone apps managed from the same Rails application as well as a legacy default "app" with certs stored in config
|
8
|
+
* Individual notifications and group notifications
|
9
|
+
* Alerts, badges, sounds, and custom properties in notifications
|
10
|
+
* Pull notifications
|
11
|
+
|
12
|
+
h2. Feature Descriptions
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
Multiple iPhone Apps: In previous versions of this gem a single Rails application was set up to
|
15
|
+
manage push notifications for a single iPhone app. In many cases it is useful to have a single Rails
|
16
|
+
app manage push notifications for multiple iPhone apps. With the addition of an APN::App model, this
|
17
|
+
is now possible. The certificates are now stored on instances of APN::App and all devices are intended to be associated
|
18
|
+
with a particular app. For compatibility with existing implementations it is still possible to create devices that
|
19
|
+
are not associated with an APN::App and to send individual notifications to them using the certs stored in the
|
20
|
+
config directory.
|
21
|
+
|
22
|
+
Individual and Group Notifications: Previous versions of this gem treated each notification individually
|
23
|
+
and did not provide a built-in way to send a broadcast notification to a group of devices. Group notifications
|
24
|
+
are now built into the gem. A group notification is associated with a group of devices and shares its
|
25
|
+
contents across the entire group of devices. (Group notifications are only available for groups of devices associated
|
26
|
+
with an APN::App)
|
27
|
+
|
28
|
+
Notification Content Areas: Notifications may contain alerts, badges, sounds, and custom properties.
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
Pull Notifications: This version of the gem supports an alternative notification method that relies
|
31
|
+
on pulls from client devices and does not interact with the Apple Push Notification servers. This feature
|
32
|
+
may be used entirely independently of the push notification features. Pull notifications may be
|
33
|
+
created for an app. A client app can query for the most recent pull notification available since a
|
34
|
+
given date to retrieve any notifications waiting for it.
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
h2. Version 0.4.1 Notes
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
* Backwards compatibility. 0.4.0 required a manual upgrade to associate existing and new devices with an APN::App model. This version allows continued use of devices that are associated with a default "app" that stores its certificates in the config directory. This ought to allow upgrade to this version without code changes.
|
39
|
+
* Batched finds. Finds on the APN::Device model that can return large numbers of records have been batched to limit memory impact.
|
40
|
+
* Custom properties migration. At a pre-0.4.0 version the custom_properties attribute was added to the migration template that created the notifications table. This introduced a potential problem for gem users who had previously run this migration. The custom_properties alteration to the apn_notifications table has been moved to its own migration and should work regardless of whether your apn_notifications table already has a custom_properties attribute.
|
41
|
+
* last_registered_at changed to work intuitively. The last_registered_at attribute of devices was being updated only on creation potentially causing a bug in which a device that opts out of APNs and then opts back in before apn_on_rails received feedback about it might miss a period of APNs that it should receive.

From Mark Bates:
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
This gem is a re-write of a plugin that was written by Fabien Penso and Sam Soffes.
|
48
|
+
Their plugin was a great start, but it just didn't quite reach the level I hoped it would.
|
49
|
+
I've re-written, as a gem, added a ton of tests, and I would like to think that I made it
|
50
|
+
a little nicer and easier to use.
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
From Rebecca Nesson (PRX.org):
|
53
|
+
|
54
|
+
This gem extends the original version that Mark Bates adapted. His gem did the hard
|
55
|
+
work of setting up and handling all communication with the Apple push notification servers.
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
h2. Converting Your Certificate:
|
58
|
+
|
59
|
+
Once you have the certificate from Apple for your application, export your key
|
60
|
+
and the apple certificate as p12 files. Here is a quick walkthrough on how to do this:
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
1. Click the disclosure arrow next to your certificate in Keychain Access and select the certificate and the key.
|
63
|
+
2. Right click and choose `Export 2 items...`.
|
64
|
+
3. Choose the p12 format from the drop down and name it `cert.p12`.
|
65
|
+
|
66
|
+
Now covert the p12 file to a pem file:
|
67
|
+
|
68
|
+
<pre><code>
|
69
|
+
$ openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out apple_push_notification_production.pem -nodes -clcerts
|
70
|
+
</pre></code>
|
71
|
+
|
72
|
+
If you are using a development certificate, then change the name to apple_push_notification_development.pem instead.
|
73
|
+
|
74
|
+
Store the contents of the certificate files on the app model for the app you want to send notifications to.
|
75
|
+
|
76
|
+
h2. Installing:
|
77

h3. Rails Gem Management:
|
91
|
+
|
92
|
+
If you like to use the built in Rails gem management:
|
93
|
+
|
94
|
+
<pre><code>
|
95
|
+
config.gem 'apn_on_rails'
|
96
|
+
</pre></code>
|
97
|
+
|
98
|
+
Or, if you like to live on the edge:
|
99
|
+
|
100
|
+
<pre><code>
|
101
|
+
config.gem 'PRX-apn_on_rails', :lib => 'apn_on_rails', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'
|
102
|
+
</pre></code>
|
103
|
+
|
104
|
+
h2. Setup and Configuration:
|
105
|
+
|
106
|
+
Once you have the gem installed via your favorite gem installation, you need to require it so you can
|
107
|
+
start to use it:
|
108
|
+
|
109
|
+
Add the following require, wherever it makes sense to you:
|
110
|
+
|
111
|
+
<pre><code>
|
112
|
+
require 'apn_on_rails'
|
113
|
+
</pre></code>
|
114
|
+
|
115
|
+
You also need to add the following to your Rakefile so you can use the
|
116
|
+
Rake tasks that ship with APN on Rails:
|
117
|
+
|
118
|
+
<pre><code>
|
119
|
+
begin
|
120
|
+
require 'apn_on_rails_tasks'
|
121
|
+
rescue MissingSourceFile => e
|
122
|
+
puts e.message
|
123
|
+
end
|
124
|
+
</pre></code>
|
125
|
+
|
126
|
+
Now, to create the tables you need for APN on Rails, run the following task:
|
127
|
+
|
128
|
+
<pre><code>
|
129
|
+
$ ruby script/generate apn_migrations
|
130
|
+
</pre></code>
|
131
|
+
|
132
|
+
APN on Rails uses the Configatron gem, http://github.com/markbates/configatron/tree/master,
|
133
|
+
to configure itself. (With the change to multi-app support, the certifications are stored in the
|
134
|
+

|
135
|
+
stored in the config directory. For this setup, the following configurations apply.)
|
136
|
+
APN on Rails has the following default configurations that you change as you
|
137
|
+
see fit:
|
138
|
+
|
139
|
+
<pre><code>
|
140
|
+
# development (delivery):
|
141
|
+
configatron.apn.passphrase # => ''
|
142
|
+
configatron.apn.port # => 2195
|
143
|
+
configatron.apn.host # => 'gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com'
|
144
|
+
configatron.apn.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_development.pem')
|
145
|
+
|
146
|
+
# production (delivery):
|
147

|
148
|
+
configatron.apn.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_production.pem')
|
149
|
+
|
150
|
+
# development (feedback):
|
151
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.passphrase # => ''
|
152
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.port # => 2196
|
153
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.host # => 'feedback.sandbox.push.apple.com'
|
154
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_development.pem')
|
155
|

|
156
|
+
# production (feedback):
|
157
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.host # => 'feedback.push.apple.com'
|
158
|
+
configatron.apn.feedback.cert #=> File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'config', 'apple_push_notification_production.pem')
|
159
|
+
</pre></code>
|
160
|
+
|
161
|
+
That's it, now you're ready to start creating notifications.
|
162

|
163
|
+
h3. Upgrade Notes:
|
164
|
+
|
165
|
+
If you are upgrading to a new version of APN on Rails you should always run:
|
166
|
+
|
167
|
+
<pre><code>
|
168
|
+
$ ruby script/generate apn_migrations
|
169
|
+
</pre></code>
|
170
|
+
|
171
|
+
That way you ensure you have the latest version of the database tables needed.
|
172
|
+
(There is an unaddressed problem in which migration 002 was modified in the repo to add the column custom_properties.
|
173
|
+
If you installed the gem prior to that change and try to upgrade following this path you will have to add the
|
174
|
+
custom_properties column to the apn_notifications table by hand.)
|
175
|
+
|
176
|
+
h2. Example (assuming you have created an app and stored your keys on it):
|
177
|
+
|
178
|
+
<pre><code>
|
179
|
+
$ ./script/console
|
180
|
+
>> app = APN::App.create(:name => "My App", :apn_dev_cert => "PASTE YOUR DEV CERT HERE", :apn_prod_cert => "PASTE YOUR PROD CERT HERE")
|
181
|
+
>> device = APN::Device.create(:token => "XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX",:app_id => app.id)
|
182
|
+
>> notification = APN::Notification.new
|
183
|
+
>> notification.device = device
|
184
|
+
>> notification.badge = 5
|
185
|
+
>> notification.sound = true
|
186
|
+
>> notification.alert = "foobar"
|
187
|
+
>> notification.custom_properties = {:link => "http://www.prx.org"}
|
188
|
+
>> notification.save
|
189
|
+
</pre></code>
|
190
|
+
|
191
|
+
You can use the following Rake task to deliver your individual notifications:
|
192
|
+
|
193
|
+
<pre><code>
|
194
|
+
$ rake apn:notifications:deliver
|
195
|
+
</pre></code>
|
196
|
+
|
197
|
+
And the following task to deliver your group notifications:
|
198
|
+
|
199
|
+
<pre><code>
|
200
|
+
$ rake apn:group_notifications:deliver
|
201
|
+
</pre></code>
|
202
|
+
|
203
|
+
The Rake task will find any unsent notifications in the database. If there aren't any notifications
|
204
|
+
it will simply do nothing. If there are notifications waiting to be delivered it will open a single connection
|
205
|
+
to Apple and push all the notifications through that one connection. Apple does not like people opening/closing
|
206
|
+
connections constantly, so it's pretty important that you are careful about batching up your notifications so
|
207
|
+
Apple doesn't shut you down.
