Has anybody here used the push notification functions? I have met a problem about this. I already published an app using the great buzztouch platform: you can find the app here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/classical-museum/id870490183?ls=1&mt=8 Now with the users grow quickly(already 1089 devices register push notification function), I want to push some notifications to let them know new features, but failed... I have two questions: 1. I found that all the registed devices are design devices, no devices registerd in live mode, why? Since I distruted this app using the production certificate and provison file, in my opiton, the 1089 registered devices should be in live mode,right? 2. I have both tried the developming and production pem file in both design or live mode, neither could succeed, my devices cound't receive any messages, why? Does anybody what's wrong with this? Thanks and Regards, Skywalker 

Same issues as you that's why I use Parse now. Adam

hi, Adam thanks for your reply. May I know what's Parse and how to use it?

Go to Parse.com It's a third party push notification service. It is a really easy set up- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1LLiM88XN8wMjNHdEtQV3JEWUk/preview?pli=1 Adam

I've got the same problem except that my newest app which is self hosted 3.0 ios. Some devices are registering in design mode and some are registering in live mode. Hopefully BT 4.0 will cure this problem. Dave

I had problems with BT push notifications as well. This is what I did to fix it. Unfortunately you will need to change some code in Xcode and submit an update to Apple. https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=6B929DD9BEA427FE2EB276E&fid=06DB0BCB08E2222&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=&currentPage=1

Thank you Moto110! That did the trick. Do you know how to get rid of all device tokens at once. Have an app with over 100K devices registered. I would have to go through 1000 pages. Adam

Also Skywalker, you have 1K users on app that cost $10? Adam

Yes, but it also cost me $800 Ad fee with admob and iAd network.

@Moto110 Thanks so much for your solution. I will try it next time when I make a upgrade. ^_^

You made a huge profit still congrats

@Adam Thanks, this APP almost cost me 2 months, you can see I have done lots of the collection jobs, the songs, the introduction, the pics etc... The sales of first 2 weeks is best, cause the App store put my app in the cover page of music catalog, now it also sank in the bottom of the sea. Do you have any good solution for marketing and promoting apps? Regards, Skywalker

Personally haven't marketed my apps, but look at websites that associate with your app. Try buying an ad slot. That's my recommendation. Also, just research how others marketed their own apps. Adam

@Adam - If you select the check box at the top of the list it will select everything on the page and you can delete them that way. Might not be exactly what you wanted to hear, but that is the only way I know of to remove device tokens from the BT control panel.

@Moto hi, Moto, I have done as you said and update a new version on the appstore. It'ok now that I can get lots of devices report in live mode now, but I can't still put the notification successfully. you can see the photo here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9d60pxoz2bhx6u/pushnotifications.jpg Do you know what's wrong with this and how to resolve this problem? Thanks and Regards, Skywalker

I want to say that the first one or two I tried to send didn't go through successfully. However, I kind of think that was because my devices had the app install from Xcode first and a setting or something might have been stuck in the device. Are you sure it's not working on other devices? It could be that your devices aren't working because the app on your phone is still from Xcode and not the distribution build. That makes a difference. This is just me thinking out loud. Once I got the iOS devices to show in live mode it seemed to fix all of my problems. Did you delete all of the iOS devices from the push control panel so they could register again?

yes, I have deleted all the devices in the control panel, you can see from the link photo that it only has 50 devices re-registered currently, before that it has 1000... what I did is that delete the app from my iphone and ipad and redownloaded it from the appstore. after that I didn't receive any push notifications. And there is one strange thing I noticed is that after I first run the new app on my devices, it only ask me whether to send the GPS info, no push notification option, I am sure that I already enabled the push notification function in the control panel. Do you think is that the reason? Even I delete the app in my devices, the new app will not register my device in the live mode? and my devices are still in the design modes?

It's not that uncommon for the app to not ask about push notification if you already allowed it it before. I would delete the app from your phone remove all devices from control panel again and then download the app from the app store again and open it. Then check the control panel and you should see "your" iOS device. hopefully it will say "live" mode next to "your" device which should be the only one listed at this time. This will be a good way to test and see what is going on with the registration from the app store install of the app.
