PM92268: MULTIPLE PUSH NOTIFICATION ON IOS NOTIFYALLDEVICES() AND CREATEDEFAULTNOTIFICATION().

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer has upgraded server and studio to 5.0.6.1.
  Customer changed code to reflect new API relative to
  notifications, following guidelines as reported in
  documentation.
  
  Customer received multiple notifications on device using the
  new app instead of one notification as expected.
  The code changed is relative to API call notifyAllDevices() and
  createDefaultNotification().
  
  This happens on iOS and not Android.
  This bug was introduced in 5.0.6.1, not in 5.0.5.
  

Local fix

• Customer needs to set the version '0.7'
  manually as a filter criteria in the adapter.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * End users who subscribe to receive push notifications from a *
  * Worklight application and later upgrade the application.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If the user installs an application, subscribes to receive   *
  * push notifications, upgrades the application to a newer      *
  * version, and then subscribes again to receive push           *
  * notifications they will receive multiple such notifications. *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In the NOTIFICATION_DEVICE table in the database there are
  multiple records with the same device ID + token and with the
  same application ID except for the version.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected so that when a user subscribes to
  receive push notifications with a different version of the same
  application Worklight will no longer create a new record in the
  database, but will instead update the previous subscription with
  the new application version.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpacks 5.0.6.2 and 6.0.0.1.
  A fix is available in 6.0.0.0-IF201307011413 and later.
