Common push error messages
Check out these common error messages for push messaging:
Push bounced: MismatchSenderId
MismatchSenderId indicates an authentication failure. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) authenticates with a couple key pieces of data: senderID and FCM API key. These should both be validated for accuracy. For more information see the Android documentation about this issue.
Common failures may include:
- Bad senderID
- Multiple registration if they register with another push service with a different senderID
Push bounced: InvalidRegistration
InvalidRegistration can happen when a push token is malformed. Common failures may include when:
- People are passing Braze registration tokens manually but don’t call
getToken(). For example, they may pass the entire instance ID. The token in the error message looks like|ID|1|:[regular token]. - People are registering with multiple services. We currently expect push registration intents to arrive old-style, so if folks are registering in multiple places and we catch intents from other services we can get malformed push tokens.
Push bounced: NotRegistered
NotRegistered usually means that the app has been deleted from the device (such as our signal for Uninstall). This can also occur if multiple registration is happening and a second registration is invalidating the push token that Braze receives.
Push bounced: Error sending to bad push token
This error may occur for several reasons:
- The push token isn’t being sent to us correctly in
[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerPushToken:]- Check the token in the Message Activity Log. It should generally look like a long string of letters and numbers. (e.g
6e407a9be8d07f0cdeb9e714733a89445f57a89ec890d63867c482a483506fa6) If it doesn’t, check the code involved in sending Braze push token errors.
- Check the token in the Message Activity Log. It should generally look like a long string of letters and numbers. (e.g
- Mismatched provisioning environment:
- If you register with a development certificate and try to send with a production one, you can see this error.
- Braze only supports universal certificates for production environments. Testing push on development environments with a universal certificate will not work.
- This reporting sends bouncing in production but not development.
- Mismatched provisioning profile:
- This can happen if your certificate doesn’t match the one that was used to get the token. If this is suspected, the next steps include:
- Ensuring that the push certificate being used to send push from the Braze dashboard and the provisioning profile are configured correctly.
- Recreating the APNS certification and then recreate the provisioning profile after the APNS certificate is configured to the
app_id. This can sometimes solve some more visible problems.
- This can happen if your certificate doesn’t match the one that was used to get the token. If this is suspected, the next steps include:
Push bounced: APNS feedback service removed
This generally happens when someone uninstalls. Braze queries the APNS Feedback Service each night to get a list of invalid tokens. For more information, refer to Apple’s Communicating with APNs.
