Discord push notifications are broken #540

ahstro · 2018-05-02T20:51:22Z

Discord does not register for push notifications, even though the setting is enabled. Push notifications work for other apps, e.g. Slack. I've tried removing and reinstalling the app, because I heard apps need to be installed after microg/spoofing/something is set up and I couldn't remember if it was, but that didn't help.

xeals · 2018-05-05T07:36:28Z

I've set up a new phone yesterday and I can't register Discord at all. I get a notification saying that Google Play Services need to be updated. May be related.

nermolov · 2018-05-06T21:16:33Z

Can confirm this issue on my end as well.

bmccoy11 · 2018-05-18T21:36:57Z

Riot's push notifications don't appear to be working for me either.

Phantop · 2018-05-18T21:42:28Z

Getting the same Play Services update error, even with Cloud Messaging enabled and with FakeStore on MicroG Lineage. Downgrading to older versions makes the app get stuck on a Recaptcha

Phantop · 2018-05-21T00:09:51Z

I skipped back a bit and can confirm that 6.4.7 works. Newer versions may work, I skipped by 5 months

nermolov · 2018-05-21T19:16:03Z

@Phantop I tried downgrading to 6.4.7 and it still would not register with microg

pejakm · 2018-06-03T18:46:21Z

Riot's push notifications don't appear to be working for me either.

I can confirm this, too.

pejakm · 2018-06-03T20:29:14Z

I have updated to the 0.2.4-118 (download link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76709522&postcount=4710) but still some apps cannot register, like the tester app shown below, and simply crash afterwards.

Any suggestions how to get a usable logcat output for this crash is welcome (pinging @mar-v-in and @ale5000-git for help).

Okay, here are some logs, hope they will help.

ahstro · 2018-06-04T08:01:58Z

Sorry for off-topic, but @pejakm, what is that tester app called?

pejakm · 2018-06-04T08:56:02Z

@ahstro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firstrowria.pushnotificationtester

chris42 · 2018-06-04T09:58:33Z

My experience:
microg only supports methods of registering push notifications for GCM.
Since October/November last year most Apps now use the new version called FCM. Apparently that does not work with microg and I do not know if there will be a fix.
Hence you might see very different results for each app, depending if it upgraded or not. Hence notification tester might work, but app not.
For some apps it helps to install an older version from last year first and then upgrade.

Also please note Push notification registration problems are different than the google framework version problems. Only if you get the explicit message for the google framework version you have an issue there.
With Discord it seems you have both problems, FCM and current version number of google framework is needed.

DPTJKKVH · 2018-08-29T14:17:38Z

Please check if it works again with the most recent version: 12.8.79 found on f-droid.

ale5000-git · 2018-08-29T17:55:51Z

@ahstro @pejakm
The latest version of microG GmsCore is currently 0.2.5.12879, please try it.

pejakm · 2018-08-30T13:22:32Z

@ale5000-git Push Notifications Tester now works, apps like WhatsApp and Riot work, but again Viber is problematic, it only gets notifications first few times after re-install, but later it only gets messages when opened. The OP reported this for Discord, I do not use it so cannot test, sorry.

liz-desartiges · 2018-08-30T16:50:55Z

Push notification tester still crash and no apps seams to be able to register since I updated (I use lineages 1.5.1 for microg).

ale5000-git · 2018-08-30T18:33:58Z

@frstrikerman
Have you verified manually that you have microG GmsCore 0.2.5.12879?
Many times F-Droid make believe that it is updated but it isn't (this apply specially to microG GmsCore).

liz-desartiges · 2018-08-30T18:53:44Z

@ale5000-git yes I did

ale5000-git · 2018-08-30T19:24:02Z

Have you tried to clear app data of Push notification tester and then re-granting all permissions?

liz-desartiges · 2018-08-30T21:58:21Z

@ale5000-git I just tried that and push notification tester still crash. In microg settings the current state is disconnected

chris42 · 2018-09-04T17:15:13Z

The patch out of #439 still has some issues. The registered apps will not show as registered in microg settings, however will work to deliver push messages. Only a few apps have troubles (so far known: Threema)
I tested the push notification tester on microg 0.2.5.12879 on AOSP and it worked.

pejakm · 2018-09-04T17:36:38Z

Only a few apps have troubles (so far known: Threema)

Signal can't register;
Viber works for few hours after fresh install or reinstall, then does not receive notifications.

chris42 · 2018-09-04T17:55:35Z

@pejakm
Could you please send some logs, especially captured during registration. e.g. via catlog

Also please make sure the following was done before:

you are using newest microg version 0.2.5-12879 running (ale5000 installer is updated and should be very helpful)
you activated google device registration
you get all the green checkmarks in microg diagnostics
nothing is blocking network traffic to mtalk.google.com (e.g. afwall, adaway, ...)
you deleted the app you have troubles with and installed it fresh after updating to microg 0.2.5-12879
you have not used backup solutions, like oandbackup, titaniumbackup, ... to restore app data
you used push notification tester to check. I just tried it and it works.

pejakm · 2018-09-08T16:25:27Z

@chris42 All checked.

I manage to capture some output, note sure if it's related:

Ah, just tried with another number, and went through. So Signal works with microG.

chris42 · 2018-09-08T18:34:27Z

Good to hear. If you are still looking into viber, check the logs for the "GmsGcmMcsInput" messages. These should appear in the log when a message is received.

Version 5.7.9 solves the connection problem: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/discord-inc/discord-chat-for-gamers/discord-chat-for-gamers-5-7-9-release

ale5000-git · 2019-06-02T14:08:49Z

The problem should be fixed in recent versions of microG GmsCore, I'm closing this for now.
Please try it and report back.
