Google Cloud Messaging on iOS

Google provides a sample app that details the procedure

Step 1:

sudo gem install cocoapods 

This installs the cocoapods

After this run the below command to get the Google project 

pod try Google 

This basically checks out all the sample apps in cocoapods under Google. 

Step 2: 

Next Step was to get the configuration file 

For this step, had to enter the bundle ID that has the APNS feature and also has the p12 certificate
Now, the console asked the p12 certificate and after uploading the certificate, go the GCM server key and the sender ID

Then had to enable which services to be enabled. Selected the Google Cloud Messaging and moved on. Below few screenshots details the process involved





finally, this gave the GoogleServices-Info.plist file. 

This file was added to all the targets and ran the app on the device. This successfully registered the APNS and there is a Google token also associated with it. 

Now run the Server Demo app and give the registration token and the server API key and the message should appear on the app.
