Steps to use our SDK

1. Get a license

First, you need a license. You will get a license per application and per operating system, so if you have one application that has an iOS version and an Android version, you will need two licenses.

In order to send notifications on your behalf, we also need your Notification Platform API authentication key. You can obtain your key by using the administrative site of your Notification platform provider (APNS or Firebase).

To get a valid license, send an email to smart.notifications@tid.es with:

• the name of your company
• the platform the app runs in (Android or iOS)
• the name of the application in the OS platform (for example ‘com.telefonica.smartnotifications’)
• the notification platform name (Firebase or APNS)
• the notification platform authentication key (How to get it):
  • for Firebase you need to send us the authentication key
  • for iOS you need to send us the p8 file you obtained, the auth key id and the team id

In return, we will send you credentials for the Smart Notification Management website and a valid license key for the application.

2. Integrate the SDK in your app

How to get a key to send push notifications using iOS APNS

This section describes how to generate an authentication key for an iOS App ID enabled for Push Notifications. If you already have an existing key, you can use that key.

To create an authentication key:

If you don’t have an Apple developer account you can just create one going to Apple

To get your your Team ID, you can go to your Apple Developer Account details and you can see it in the Membership tab.

To get your Auth key and your Auth key id:

1. In your developer account, go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and under Keys, select All.
2. Click the Add button (+) in the upper-right corner.
3. Enter a description for the APNs Auth Key
4. Under Key Services, select the APNs checkbox, and click Continue.
5. Click Confirm and then Download. Save your key in a secure place. This is a one-time download, and the key cannot be retrieved later.

If you’d like to verify that your APNs authentication key is set up properly and is accepted by APNs, try sending a test push notification.

How to get a key to send push notifications using Firebase
