Parse.com - iOS push notifications and Unity integration
I noticed that Parse Unity support still doesn't provide push notifications for iOS.
Has anyone implemented a Unity plugin or other solution to support iOS Push notifications via Parse?

It is now possible using ParseObject to layout the ParseInstallation object.

Attach this script to GameObject, replace important parts with yours:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Parse;
public class PushBehaviorScript : MonoBehaviour {
bool tokenSent = false;
public ParseObject currentInstallation = null;
void Start () {
if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("currentInstallation")) {
string objId = PlayerPrefs.GetString ("currentInstallation");
currentInstallation = ParseObject.CreateWithoutData ("_Installation", objId);
}
if (currentInstallation == null) {
#if UNITY_IPHONE && !UNITY_EDITOR
NotificationServices.RegisterForRemoteNotificationTypes (RemoteNotificationType.Alert | RemoteNotificationType.Badge | RemoteNotificationType.Sound);
#endif
}
}
void FixedUpdate () {
if (!tokenSent && currentInstallation == null) {
#if UNITY_IPHONE && !UNITY_EDITOR
byte[] token = NotificationServices.deviceToken;
if(token != null) {
tokenSent = true;
string tokenString = System.BitConverter.ToString(token).Replace("-", "").ToLower();
Debug.Log ("OnTokenReived");
Debug.Log (tokenString);
ParseObject obj = new ParseObject("_Installation");
obj["deviceToken"] = tokenString;
obj["appIdentifier"] = "com.parse.unitypush";
obj["deviceType"] = "ios";
obj["timeZone"] = "UTC";
obj["appName"] = "UnityPushTest";
obj["appVersion"] = "1.0.0";
obj["parseVersion"] = "1.3.0";
obj.SaveAsync().ContinueWith(t =>
{
if (obj.ObjectId != null) {
PlayerPrefs.SetString ("currentInstallation", obj.ObjectId);
}
});
}
#endif
}
}
}

To implement iOS push with parse.com, you need to get the token from Apple first. Then save your current installation Unity now has this functionality built in.
//push notification
bool tokenSent = false;
void RegisterForPush()
{
Debug.Log("Register for push");
tokenSent = false;
#if UNITY_IOS
UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.RegisterForNotifications(NotificationType.Alert |
NotificationType.Badge |
NotificationType.Sound, true);
#endif
}
void Update () {
if (!tokenSent) {
byte[] token = UnityEngine.iOS.NotificationServices.deviceToken;
if (token != null) {
// send token to a provider
tokenSent = true;
string hexToken = "%" + System.BitConverter.ToString(token).Replace('-', '%');
#if UNITY_IOS
ParseManager.instance.RegisterForPush(hexToken);
#endif
}
}
}
And inside the ParseManager (or whatever class you use to manage parsing) the client communication)
public void RegisterForPush(string token) {
Debug.Log("Parse updating instalation");
ParseInstallation instalation = ParseInstallation.CurrentInstallation;
instalation["deviceToken"] = token;
instalation["user"] = ParseUser.CurrentUser.ObjectId;
instalation["timeZoneOffset"] = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(DateTime.Now);
instalation.SaveAsync();
}
Tested on Unity 5.1.2 and iOS 8.4
