C2DM和GCM上都有InvalidRegistration

Question

I'm trying to send Push Notifications via C2DM / GCM to an Android Application via PHP. No matter which i use, i keep getting the following :

For GCM : {"multicast_id":7672049265453358197,"success":0,"failure":1,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"error":"InvalidRegistration"}]}

For C2DM : Error=InvalidRegistration

After reading allot about this issue all day I'm still clueless as to why this is an InvalidRegistration as if i take the registatoin_id and use it to send a test push message via Urban Airship it works.

• Notice that this is not an auth issue as i get a [http_code] => 200 back from google and not 401.
• If i send an empty registatoin_id or even omit just one char from it the error message changes to "MissingRegistration".

Any help would be appreciated.

If you copied the apid from UrbanAirship then that's the problem:

http://docs.urbanairship.com/reference/glossary.html#term-apid

Airship Push Identifier

APID

APIDs identify devices with transient registration IDs, such as Windows devices. These identifiers are version 4 UUIDs, and are 36 characters long, including dashes.

You need to get the device information from http://docs.urbanairship.com/api/ua.html#get--api-apids-(APID) in the "gcm_registration_id" property. That's the registration id needed.

It seems you need to then keep track of that registration id as it is transient as suggested by UrbanAirship. But that's another topic.
