Required For Setup

• A OneSignal Account if you do not already have one
• Your OneSignal App ID, available in Keys & IDs
• Cordova 8.0.0 or newer - You should also remove other Push SDKs that you are not using, otherwise you may see duplicate notifications.
• iOS - An iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) to test on. The Xcode simulator doesn't support push notifications so you must test on a real device.
• iOS - You MUST have a Mac with a new version of Xcode

Update SDK

If you already have an app with the Ionic SDK, you can run this to ensure your SDK is on the latest version:

ionic cordova plugin remove onesignal-cordova-plugin
ionic cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin

If you have not set up an app yet, follow the instructions below.

2. Cordova [email protected] or newer
3. CocoaPods - Install with the following from the terminal.

• IonicPro Package can skip to step 1.

---

1. Import from the Terminal

Run the following from your project directory.

ionic cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin --save

ionic plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin --save

ionic cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin --save

2. Add required code

Optionally you can use the the OneSignal Typescript Ionic Native wrapper instead of following the step 2 instructions below.

2.1 If you are using the basic Ionic starter project add the following to your <project-dir>/src/app/app.component.ts. (or .js if you are using plain javascript)

// Add the following to your existing ready fuction.

constructor(platform: Platform, statusBar: StatusBar, splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
  platform.ready().then(() => {
    statusBar.styleDefault();
    splashScreen.hide();

    // OneSignal Code start:
    // Enable to debug issues:
    // window["plugins"].OneSignal.setLogLevel({logLevel: 4, visualLevel: 4});

    var notificationOpenedCallback = function(jsonData) {
      console.log('notificationOpenedCallback: ' + JSON.stringify(jsonData));
    };

    window["plugins"].OneSignal
      .startInit("YOUR_APPID", "YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER_IF_ANDROID")
      .handleNotificationOpened(notificationOpenedCallback)
      .endInit();
  });
}

// Add the following to your existing ready fuction.

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    // Enable to debug issues.
  // window.plugins.OneSignal.setLogLevel({logLevel: 4, visualLevel: 4});
  
  var notificationOpenedCallback = function(jsonData) {
    console.log('notificationOpenedCallback: ' + JSON.stringify(jsonData));
  };

  window.plugins.OneSignal
    .startInit("YOUR_APPID")
    .handleNotificationOpened(notificationOpenedCallback)
    .endInit();
})

2.2 Update initialization parameters

Replace YOUR_APPID with your OneSignal AppId, available in Keys & IDs

3. Android

3.1 Follow the Custom Notification Icons instructions below to create a small notification icon required for Android 5.0+ devices.

4. Amazon ADM

Place your api_key.txt file into your <project-dir>/platforms/android/assets/ folder.

To create an api_key.txt for your app follow our Generate an Amazon API Key

5. iOS - Part 1 (Required)

5.0 Open <project-root>/platform/ios/YourAppName.xcworkspace
5.1 Select the root project and Under Capabilities Enable "Push Notifications".
5.2 Next Enable "Background Modes" and check "Remote notifications".

iOS - Add App Groups (Optional but Recommended) (CLI ONLY)

In order for your application to be able to let push notifications increment/decrement the badge count, you need to set up an App Group for your application.

Please follow this guide to set up a OneSignal app group in your app.

5. iOS - Part 2 (Recommend)

5.3 To support Action Buttons and Media Attachments on iOS 10+ please follow the Notification Service Extension guide (Only steps 1.1 to 1.6). Make sure to use Objective-C on this step then come back to this page and continue following the steps below.
