Cordova PushPlugin, detect if Pushs are enabled

Question

I created a mobile app using Ionic and Cordova.

But, I got an issue with the cordova PushPlugin

When I manually deactivate Push on my Iphone 4s (ios 8.4) in app settings, the PushPlugin register function does nothing (no success, no errors, nothing ^^) The plugin works well when I reactivate them manually

I read a lot of answer about issue with IOS8 : How to update code using enabledRemoteNotificationTypes because it is "not supported in iOS 8"?

I tried 3/4 repo from the community and also the Telerik plugin. But same issue, nothing happens when Pushs are not enabled.

What I want :

at least an error in the error callback when not enabled
or better, handle it like cordova camera : when I disable photos manually, a popup opens saying to activate it

Like Objective C is a language totally unknown for me, any help would be appreciated

Thanks

You can check the current push status on applicationDidBecomeActive (on your appDelegate.m)

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{

        if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication]  respondsToSelector:@selector(isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications)]) {
            if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication]  isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications]){
                NSLog(@"iOS 8, notifications enabled");
            } else {
                NSLog(@"iOS 8, notifications not enabled");
            }
        } else {
            UIRemoteNotificationType types = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] enabledRemoteNotificationTypes];
            if (types & UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)
            {
                NSLog(@"Notifications Enabled");
            }
            else
            {
                NSLog(@"Notifications not enabled");
            }
        }

}

You can also put that code into a plugin and listen for the applicationDidBecomeActive notification

Anyway, you should open issues on the plugins you tried, they should call the fail callback it the push are not enabled

This is logging fine ! Thanks, I will try to use it to throw an error They don't use 'isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications' in the plugin I don't know if there is a way to open phone settings (I think it's a bit more complicated) I will post on the plugin page, thanks — JeromeModi, Jul 22 '15 at 12:35
