  3. Enter the credentials that you got- Firebase Sender ID and Firebase Server Key in - Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Configuration section.

Configure APN/VoIP Credentials for iOS Notifications

  1. Go to your App settings in the mesibo consoleopen_in_new. Go to the section Push Notifications and turn ON the switch to enable push notifications. Now, enter the necessary details in Apple Push Notification (APN) Configuration
  2. Get the universal Push/VoIP certificate in .p12 format from your Apple Developer Accountopen_in_new. Refer to Obtain a Provider Certificate from Appleopen_in_new

Use the Production Certificate, not the development certificate. Mesibo console will give you a warning but will accept the certificate. However, your device is likely not to receive push notifications.

Push Settings

You can configure additional push notification settings in the mesibo consoleopen_in_new.

  • Background Push, By default, mesibo will send 'Background Push', which is recommended. However, you can change it to alert by disabling the 'Background Push' checkbox.

  • Sound, Play a notification sound to alert the user. You can enable this only if you have disabled background push(silent push)

  • Collapse Notifications, Check this box to group multiple notifications and make them collapsible.

  • Send Sandbox Push to APN Production server, If you want all your push requests to go to the production APN server even while using a development environment, enable this option. For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

  • Autoroute iOS Push through APN or FCM, If you have configured FCM credentials and would like to route iOS push through FCM, check this option.

  • Print Push Logs, If you are using on-premise, check this to enable Debug Logs. You can then see logs in the on-premise server logs for every push request sent to FCM or APN and the result. If you are using mesibo cloud, see Debugging Push Notifications using Webhooks
