• Async and synchoronous save methods
• Save eventually also after app restart

Installation with CocoaPods

Add the following to your podfile

pod "WCParsePush", "~> 1.1"

Getting started

Add the following to your Application Delegate implementation:

Objective-C:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Setup Push Notifications
    [WCParsePushInstallation setApplicationId:@"<YOUR-APP-ID>" clientKey:@"<YOUR-CLIENT-KEY>"];

    UIUserNotificationSettings *settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge | UIUserNotificationTypeSound categories:nil];
    [application registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications];
    
    return YES;
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
    [[WCParsePushInstallation currentInstallation] setDeviceTokenFromData:deviceToken];
}

Swift:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

    // Setup Push Notifications
    WCParsePushInstallation.setApplicationId("<YOUR-APP-ID>", clientKey: "<YOUR-CLIENT-KEY>")

	let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: UIUserNotificationType.Alert | UIUserNotificationType.Badge | UIUserNotificationType.Sound, categories: nil)
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    
    return YES;
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {

    let pushInstallation = WCParsePushInstallation.currentInstallation()
    pushInstallation.setDeviceTokenFromData(deviceToken)
}

Swift 2.0:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

    // Setup Push Notifications
    WCParsePushInstallation.setApplicationId("<YOUR-APP-ID>", clientKey: "<YOUR-CLIENT-KEY>")

	let settings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: [.Alert, .Badge, .Sound], categories: nil)
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    
    return YES;
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {

    let pushInstallation = WCParsePushInstallation.currentInstallation()
    pushInstallation.setDeviceTokenFromData(deviceToken)
}

Then to add a channel subscription

Objective-C:

[[WCParsePushInstallation currentInstallation] addChannel:@"Channel"];
[[WCParsePushInstallation currentInstallation] saveEventually];

Swift:

let pushInstallation = WCParsePushInstallation.currentInstallation()
pushInstallation.addChannel("Channel")
pushInstallation.saveEventually()

To reset the badge number

Objective-C:

[[WCParsePushInstallation currentInstallation] setBadge:0];
[[WCParsePushInstallation currentInstallation] saveEventually];

Swift:

let pushInstallation = WCParsePushInstallation.currentInstallation()
pushInstallation.badge = 0
pushInstallation.saveEventually()
