Notes

The account, tag, and user attribute features in this document are applicable to SDK v1.2.9.0 and later. For SDK v1.2.7.2 and earlier, see API Documentation.

Launching the Tencent Push Notification Service

The following are device registration API methods. For more information on the timing and principle of calls, see Device registration flow.

API description

This API is used to launch the Tencent Push Notification Service by using the information of the application registered at the official website of Tencent Push Notification Service. (This API is newly added in SDK v1.2.7.2. For v1.2.7.1 and earlier, see the startXGWithAppID API in the XGPush.h file in the SDK package.)
/// @note Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.2.7.2 or later
- (void)startXGWithAccessID:(uint32_t)accessID accessKey:(nonnull NSString *)accessKey delegate:(nullable id<XGPushDelegate>)delegate;

Parameter description

accessID: AccessID applied through the frontend
accessKey: AccessKey applied through the frontend
Delegate: callback object
Note:
The parameters required by the API must be entered correctly; otherwise, Tencent Push Notification Service will not be able to push messages correctly for the application.

Sample code

 [[XGPush defaultManager] startXGWithAccessID:<your AccessID> accessKey:<your AccessKey> delegate:self];

Terminating the Tencent Push Notification Service

The following are device unregistration API methods. For more information on the timing and principle of calls, see Device unregistration flow.

API description

After the Tencent Push Notification Service is stopped, the application will not be able to push messages to devices through it. To receive messages pushed by it again, you must call the startXGWithAccessID:accessKey:delegate: method again to re-activate the service.
- (void)stopXGNotification;

Sample code

[[XGPush defaultManager] stopXGNotification];

Tencent Push Notification Service Token and Registration Result

Querying a Tencent Push Notification Service token

API description

This API is used to query the token string generated by the current application on the Tencent Push Notification Service server.
@property (copy, nonatomic, nullable, readonly) NSString *xgTokenString;

Sample code

NSString *token = [[XGPushTokenManager defaultTokenManager] xgTokenString];
Note:
Token query should be called after xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:error: returns a success.

Registration result callback

API description

After the SDK is started, use this method callback to return the registration result and token.
- (void)xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:(nullable NSString *)deviceToken xgToken:(nullable NSString *)xgToken error:(nullable NSError *)error

Response parameters

deviceToken: device token generated by APNs.
xgToken: token generated by Tencent Push Notification Service, which needs to be used during message push. Tencent Push Notification Service maintains the mapping relationship between this value and the device token generated by APNs.
error: error message. If error is nil, Tencent Push Notification Service has been successfully registered.

Registration failure callback

API description

This callback is new in SDK v1.2.7.2 and used for Tencent Push Notification Service registration failures.
/// @note Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.2.7.2 or later
- (void)xgPushDidFailToRegisterDeviceTokenWithError:(nullable NSError *)error

Notification pop-up window authorization callback

API description

This API was added in SDK v1.3.1.0 and is used to call back the result of notification authorization pop-up window.
- (void)xgPushDidRequestNotificationPermission:(bool)isEnable error:(nullable NSError *)error;

Response parameters

isEnable: whether authorization is approved or not.
error: error message. If error is nil, the pop-up authorization result has been successfully obtained.

Account Feature

The following are account API methods. For more information on the timing and principle of calls, see Account flow.

Adding an account

API description

If there is no account of this type, this API will add a new one; otherwise, it will overwrite the existing one. (This API is available only in Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.2.9.0 or later.)
- (void)upsertAccountsByDict:(nonnull NSDictionary<NSNumber *, NSString *> *)accountsDict;

Note:
This API should be called after xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:error: returns a success.

Parameter description

accountsDict: account dictionary
Note:
The account type and account name together serve as the composite primary key.
You need to use the dictionary type, where key is the account type and value is the account, for example, @{@(accountType):@"account"}.
Syntax for Objective-C: @{@(0):@"account0",@(1):@"account1"}; syntax for Swift:[NSNumber(0):@"account0",NSNumber(1):@"account1"]
For more accountType values, see the XGPushTokenAccountType enumeration in the SDK demo package or Account Type Value Table.

Sample code

XGPushTokenAccountType accountType = XGPushTokenAccountTypeUNKNOWN;
NSString *account = @"account";
[[XGPushTokenManager defaultTokenManager] upsertAccountsByDict:@{ @(accountType):account }];

Adding a mobile number

API description

This API is used to add or update a mobile number. It is equivalent to calling upsertAccountsByDict:@{@(1002):@"specific mobile number"}.
/// @note Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.3.2.0+
- (void)upsertPhoneNumber:(nonnull NSString *)phoneNumber;

Parameter description

phoneNumber: an E.164 mobile number in the format of [+][country code or area code][mobile number], for example, +8613711112222. The SDK will encrypt the mobile number for transmission.

Sample code

[[XGPushTokenManager defaultTokenManager] upsertPhoneNumber:@"+8613712345678"];;
Note:
1. This API should be called after xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:error: returns a success.
2. You can call delAccountsByKeys:[[NSSet alloc] initWithObjects:@(1002), nil] to delete a mobile number.

Deleting accounts

API description

This API is used to delete all accounts of a specified account type. (This API is available only in Tencent Push Notification Service SDK v1.2.9.0 or later.)

Note:
This API should be called after xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:error: returns a success.

Parameter description

accountsKeys: set of account types
Note:
A set is required, and the key is fixed.
For more values of accountType, see the enumerated values of XGPushTokenAccountType in the XGPush.h file in the SDK package.

Sample code

XGPushTokenAccountType accountType = XGPushTokenAccountTypeUNKNOWN;

NSSet *accountsKeys = [[NSSet alloc] initWithObjects:@(accountType), nil];

[[XGPushTokenManager defaultTokenManager] delAccountsByKeys:accountsKeys];

Tagging Feature

The following are tag API methods. For more information on the timing and principle of calls, see Tag flow.

Binding/Unbinding tags

API description

This API is used to bind tags to different users so that push can be performed based on specific tags.
- (void)appendTags:(nonnull NSArray<NSString *> *)tags
- (void)delTags:(nonnull NSArray<NSString *> *)tags
Note:
This API works in an appending manner.
This API should be called after xgPushDidRegisteredDeviceToken:error: returns a success.
One application can have up to 10,000 custom tags. One device token can be bound to a maximum of 100 custom tags (to increase this limit, submit a ticket). One custom tag can be bound to an unlimited number of device tokens.

Parameter description

tags: tag array
Note:
For tag operations, tags is a tag string array, which cannot contain spaces or tabs.

User Attribute Feature

The following are user attribute API methods. For more information on the timing and principle of calls, see User attribute flow.
