I got this email about the Monaca Backend 2.0 and I’m getting around to following up on it, and I don’t see anything that looks like a “conversion guide”, or really any docs on the plugin at all. in fact many of the docs accessed through the new cloud IDE still show the old cloud IDE.

I think I’ve got firebase configured in the backend settings, and my app is already Cordova 7.1.0. I’m only using monaca.cloud.Push.setHandler() in the app, so i don’t need any other changes there right? and the backend API itself also unchanged? do i even really need to rebuild the app for now?

everything seems to still be working without a rebuild, so i guess that’s it? a conversion checklist would be nice.

well it looks like this forum isn’t sending me emails despite “watching” the thread.

since this is the Monica Tools forum i thought it would be clear I’m using the Monica backend.

I dont’ know what changed, but I’m suddenly getting notifications, i didn’t even reinstall my app. app manager even shows “zero memory used in last 3 hours” despite getting several notifications. I haven’t opened the app today. so whatever it is, it’s working as i’d expect at this point.

FWIW, I’m not actually using the app manager force close, but another app that closed background app. if I don’t use this opening things like Maps freezes my older phone terribly.

I’ve got push notifications working, but if the app gets forced closed on android the notification does not show. is there a way around that? I haven’t tested that on ios yet.

it could also be clearer that monaca.cloud.Push.setHandler() doesn’t get called until you actually click the notification.

I did a debug android build, installed, and got a notification to work, so that’s the piece i was missing, thanks!

not yet. is that all it takes to get it to show up? maybe that doc page should mention that.

yes, cloud IDE. problem is I’m not using anything because I can’t see how any of it is actually supposed to work. I’d like to have have apple and google both via one API, but that’s not a firm requirement as I am able to track the device type on my end. a guide that I can follow start to finish to get a basic sample app with notifications would be wonderful.

I’ve been through https://docs.monaca.io/en/manual/backend/push_notification/ and all that gets me is “no devices found”. I’ve got some knowledge deficit, but I don’t know what I’m missing. there’s no “minimum requirements” or anything there pointing me in any direction.

is there a comprehensive notifications walk-through for setting up the minimum, or typical, things needed to make this work from zero to popup?
