Provide Your Push Credentials
To send push notifications to your app on your behalf, UnifyID PushAuth™ needs:
- For Android, an FCM/GCM server key
- For iOS, an Apple Push Notification service (APNs) certificate
Android
Find Your FCM Server Key
To retrieve your Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) server key, navigate to your Firebase project settings, and click on “Cloud Messaging”. Copy the token labeled “Server key”.
Add to Dashboard
Visit your project settings on the UnifyID Developer Dashboard, paste the key, and click “Add”:
iOS
Create a .p12 Certificate
To create the certificate, please visit the Apple Developer Account Certificates Portal and make sure to choose “Apple Push Notification Service SSL (Sandbox & Production)”.
Once you’ve created and downloaded the certificate, go into your keychain and export the private key that was used for the push certificate as a .p12 file, and choose to export it without a password.
Upload to Dashboard
Once you have the .p12 file, visit your project settings in the dashboard and upload it.
If you are going to be sending pushes to the development/sandbox environment of APNs, check the box labeled “Send notifications through Apple’s development APNs servers.” Otherwise, notifications will be sent through the production environment.
Next Steps
You’ve set up the SDK and uploaded your push credentials to UnifyID. That means you’re ready to send your first PushAuth notification!
