# Media Push

### Step 1: Create New Target 

1. Ensure you are using **Xcode 8** or a higher version.
2. In Xcode, navigate to **File > New > Target**.

**Switching Back to Debugging**

If you accidentally click on "Activate", you can return to debugging your app using Xcode, which is located next to the the play button.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2: Update Pod File

1. **Remove** the Objective-C Bridging Header from your project.
2. Add the following to your Podfile to link the `Netmera.framework` to the Notification Content Extension.
3. Run `pod update` to install the dependency.

```ruby
target 'your_service_extension_target_name' do
  pod "Netmera/NotificationServiceExtension"
end
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Warning:**

After adding the previous line to your Podfile, **`pod update`** is used.
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Add Code to the Notification Service Extension Class

1. Create a new class `NotificationService` that extends `NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension`.
2. Your `NotificationService` class should look like the following:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Swift" %}

```swift
class NotificationService : NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension {

    override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (_ contentToDeliver: UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
        super.didReceive(request, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
    }

    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        super.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
    }

}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Objective-C" %}

```objectivec
#import <NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension/NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension.h>


@interface NotificationService : NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension

@end
```

```notificationservice
#import "NotificationService.h"

@implementation NotificationService

- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver))contentHandler {
    [super didReceiveNotificationRequest:request withContentHandler:contentHandler];
}

- (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
    [super serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire];
}

@end
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Step 4: Info.plist Configuration

1. Click Info.plist under **NotificationService Extension**
2. Add **App Transport Security Settings**
3. Under App Transport Security Settings add Allow Arbitrary Loads and set it to **YES.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Allow Arbitrary Loads / Yes allows all HTTP loads:**

`NSAllowsArbitraryLoads` allows all HTTP loads. This value should be set to `true` only if an image URL in HTTP format is being used in push notifications. Otherwise, it is not necessary and might be set as FALSE.

    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
```

### Troubleshooting

#### Check Service Extension Target Settings

* Ensure the **minimum deployment version** of your service extension matches or is lower than the device’s iOS version.

#### Ensure 'Copy only when installing' is Unchecked

* In **Xcode**, go to **Build Phases** and expand **Embed App Extensions**. Ensure that **Copy only when installing** is **unchecked** for your main target.

1. Select your main target.
2. Go to "Build Phases."
3. Expand "Embed App Extensions."
4. Ensure that "Copy only when installing" is NOT checked. If it is checked, please uncheck it.
