Support for Critical Alert

[iOSDev33]

Just wondering if there is support for sending critical alerts. Basically this makes the sound key a dictionary instead of a string. Currently it appears the class doesn't support it. Below is a sample payload for sending critical push notifications.

{ "aps": { "content-available": 1, "sound": { "critical": 1, "name": "sound", "volume": 1.0 }, "badge": "Increment", "alert": { "title": "Test", "body": "Test" }, "county": "Test" } }

If you want support for this, you have to head over to https://github.com/node-apn/node-apn module.

This adapter just passes the payload to the module.

Check out the Notification Documentation

It should support this from a quick glance.

Edit: It looks like somebody beat you to it. node-apn/node-apn#646

You have to wait for that PR to be submitted and released

Hi @dplewis, Thanks for the quick response. How could this be used with parse-server? I am currently pushing from a python script. Please see below.

def sendPush():
     
    connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection('yourserver', 443)
connection.connect()
connection.request('POST', "/parse/push", json.dumps({
	"where": {
		"channels": channel,
	},
	"data": {
		"content-available": 1,
		"sound": {
					"critical": 1,
					"name": "sound",
					"volume": 1.0
				},
		"badge": "Increment",
		"alert": {
					"title": title,
					"body": message
			    },
		}
	}), {
	"X-Parse-Application-Id": appID,
	"X-Parse-Master-key": masterKey,
	"Content-Type": "application/json"
})
result = json.loads(connection.getresponse().read())`

Could you please post this over on Stack Overflow with the parse-platform tag.
