One Signal Account Setup for use with AppInventor?

General Discussion

One Signal newbie here.....

Thought I would have a go at setting up One Signal for push notifications, following this guide:

I don't have an issue with the guide itself, that all makes sense, but I am unsure about the requirements for the One Signal App(Web) and how to create subscribers, test the functionality etc.

So far I have created an Android App and used my Firebase FCM Server and Sender keys, and I have selected "Other SDK" (guessing this might be wrong?)

Can anyone help a newbie to get the One Signal side of things setup correctly ?

I tried once, got some variables but never got the notification. I don't think there is a working push notification component or extension. Aaaa, you want to use the api...

Don't seem to have a problem with the client side (AppInventor/php), just don't know how to setup One Signal correctly. I can then deal with it working (or not) :smiley:

I remember that you had to download a key from firebase and put it in one signal.

As I indicated above, I have done that part, it is the SDK and then Subscribers I am stuck on.

I select NativeAndroid, you must select API. And maybe also android, since the app for android.

Then on the dashboard screen click new message. and you can choose these messages. Only the app must have something to receive this message. I had an extension.

I will have a play....:wink:

Am closer, I believe. The AppInventor app now returns the following message:

response Code = 200
responseContent = {"id":"","errors":["All included players are not subscribed"]}

I have tried adding myself (my email/phone number) as a subscriber, but get the same responses.

OK, having googled and youtubed a bit it seems I need:

platform: Google Android
firebase: FCM Server and Sender keys
"sdk" : server api
(but there is no setting up of an sdk)

none the wiser about subscriber settings

I might just try something with FCM...
