Bug #69933 for Net-APNS-Persistent: Net-APNS-Persistent: Not working in iOS 5 (invalid message format)

Hi, we are using your module to send push notifications to our app users. Worked perfectly fine until some of our users have upgraded to iOS 5. After that push notifications have not arrived anymore (when app was closed). Environment: Net::APNS::Persistent 0.02 & 0.03 iOS 5 Beta 4 OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 Perl: v5.10.1 This is how you can reproduce that error. You have to send a localized notification (that means without a body element). $apns->queue_notification( $devicetoken_hex, { aps => { alert => { loc-key => 'MY_LOC_KEY', loc-args => ['arg1', 'arg2'] }, sound => 'default', badge => 1, }, }); Sent message: {"aps":{"alert":{"body":null,"loc-args":["arg1","arg2",1],"loc-key":"MY_LOC_KEY"},"badge":1,"sound":"default"} A body element with the value null was added to the final json payload of the push notification. This additional element (which is not allowed to be null) causes the error in iOS 5. The sent message won't be displayed like it has never arrived on the device. A possible could be look like this. At least it worked for us. Another potential problem could be that the utf8/conversion is not done for the loc-args strings. if (ref $payload->{aps}{alert} eq 'HASH') { if (exists $payload->{aps}{alert}{body}) { $payload->{aps}{alert}{body} = $func->($payload->{aps}{alert}{body}); } } else { $payload->{aps}{alert} = $func->($payload->{aps}{alert}); } Best regards Johannes Bönniger Windfinder Support Windfinder.com GmbH & Co.
