Getting Started

The Airship Titanium module allows a developer to integrate push notification services with Titanium apps targeting both Android and iOS. This plugin is designed to be cross-platform, and applications making use of it can leverage the same code on both platforms.

• Airship Titanium Module Release
• Titanium Example
• Github Repo

Requirements

• Titanium 10.0.0+
• To use notifications:
  • iOS APNs setup instructions
  • Android FCM setup instructions

iOS

Setup

Start by downloading the latest iOS and Android modules. Modify the tiapp.xml file to include and configure the Airship module.

Configure Airship

    var Airship = require("ti.airship");

    Airship.takeOff({
      development: {
        appKey: Your Development App Key,
        appSecret: Your Development App Secret
      },
      production: {
        appKey: Your Production App Key,
        appSecret: Your Production App Secret
      },
      site: "us" // use `eu` for EU sites.
      urlAllowList: ["*"] // allows all URLs
      android: {
          notificationConfig: {
              icon: "ic_notification",
              accentColor: "#ff0000"
          }
      }
    });

<ti:app>
    ...

    <modules>
       ...

       <module platform="android">ti.airship</module>
       <module platform="iphone">ti.airship</module>
    </modules>


    <ios>
        <plist>

                ...
                <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
                <array>
                    <string>remote-notification</string>
                </array>
            </dict>
        </plist>
    </ios>

</ti:app>

Android FCM

Android requires the google-services.json file to be copied into the app’s directory platform/android/google-services.json.

Send Your First Push Notification

At this point in the guide, if you followed all the steps above you should be ready to send a test push notification to verify everything is set up properly.

Before sending a push, you must enable user notifications. The module does not enable user notifications by default in order to avoid prompting the user for permissions. But for a testing purposes, you can enable user notifications as soon as the application is ready. You may also want to set default foreground presentation options to display the notification in the foreground on iOS 10. On older iOS devices, make sure you background the app before sending the push.

var Airship = require('ti.airship')

Airship.push.userNotificationsEnabled = true
