Gameball uses Firebase to deliver maximum experience in your app. This includes push notifications and referrals support.

Configure Gameball with Your Firebase

Before you start, you must configure your Firebase on your Gameball account. Follow the steps in Configure your Firebase account on Gameball for mobile push notifications article from our Help Center related to push notifications.

Handling Push Notifications Integration

Configure notifications as usual and add two more methods using our SDK. This is normal integration for general firebase notifications configuration, so here is a how-to guide.

1. Add to AppDelegate Class

// Inherit protocols
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate, MessagingDelegate {
    var gameballApp: Gameball?
    // ...
}

2. Configure in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

Put these lines in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions() in AppDelegate:
FirebaseApp.configure()
registerForPushNotifications()

3. Add Registration Methods to AppDelegate

Add these stack of lines to the AppDelegate class:
func registerForPushNotifications() {
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
        .requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) {
            [weak self] granted, error in
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
            Messaging.messaging().delegate = self
            guard granted else { return }
            self?.getNotificationSettings()
    }
}

func getNotificationSettings() {
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getNotificationSettings { settings in
        guard settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized else { return }
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
        }
    }
}

4. Register Token to Gameball

Here we need to add this method to register token to Gameball. Follow this guide on how to access the registration token and pass it to the gameballApp.registerDevice.
