Send Arabic Text in Push Notification

There is a website dedicated to that difficulty I think...

EDIT: Nevermind; stackoverflow seems to be a better source for this.

Hello,

I visit the link but it is showing only the arabic text. Nothing is there related to push notification.

Please advise.

Something like this?

<?php

// Put your device token here (without spaces):
$deviceToken = '2ca0c25ed7acea73e19c9d9193e57a12c1817ed48ddf8f44baea42e68a51563c';

// Put your private key's passphrase here:
$passphrase = 'pushp12';

// Put your alert message here:
$message = 'الاشعار الاول للتطبيق مرحبا';

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$ctx = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'ck.pem');
stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

// Open a connection to the APNS server
$fp = stream_socket_client(
    'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
    $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);

if (!$fp)
    exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);

echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;

// Create the payload body
$body['aps'] = array(
    'alert' => $message,
    'sound' => 'default'
    );

// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body);

// Build the binary notification
$msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;

// Send it to the server
$result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));

if (!$result)
    echo 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
else
    echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;

// Close the connection to the server
fclose($fp);

?>

In PHP 5.4.0 or later you can apparently turn off the Unicode escaping to allow for longer messages:

// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = json_encode($body, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

Otherwise you would need to create the JSON string as follows to avoid the character limitation caused by escaping:

// Encode the payload as JSON
$payload = '{"aps":{"alert":"'.$message.'","sound":"default","badge":"+1"}}';

Please can you give C# example as we are facing trouble with PHP to c# convertion? Because it is coming the unicode text as mesage not the arabic one.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

As per this stackoverflow solution: stackoverflow.com/questions/2111076/push-notification-in-non-english-languages

For Arabic and some other non-English languages, you need to pass the length of the UTF encoded string before the counting.

Use...

writer.Write((byte)0); //First byte of payload length; (big-endian first byte)
enter code herebyte[] b1 = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payload);
writer.Write((byte)b1.Length);    //payload length (big-endian second byte)

... to modify the following generic C# Apple Push Notification Provider:

int port = 2195;
String hostname = "gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com";

//load certificate
string certificatePath = @"cert.p12";
string certificatePassword = "";
X509Certificate2 clientCertificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);
X509Certificate2Collection certificatesCollection = new X509Certificate2Collection(clientCertificate);

TcpClient client = new TcpClient(hostname, port);
SslStream sslStream = new SslStream(
        client.GetStream(),
        false,
        new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate),
        null
);

try
{
    sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient(hostname, certificatesCollection, SslProtocols.Tls, true);
}
catch (AuthenticationException ex)
{
    client.Close();
    return;
}

// Encode a test message into a byte array.
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(memoryStream);

writer.Write((byte)0);  //The command
writer.Write((byte)0);  //The first byte of the deviceId length (big-endian first byte)
writer.Write((byte)32); //The deviceId length (big-endian second byte)

String deviceId = "DEVICEIDGOESHERE";
writer.Write(ToByteArray(deviceId.ToUpper()));

String payload = "{\"aps\":{\"alert\":\"I like spoons also\",\"badge\":14}}";

writer.Write((byte)0); //First byte of payload length; (big-endian first byte)
writer.Write((byte)payload.Length); //payload length (big-endian second byte)

byte[] b1 = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payload);
writer.Write(b1);
writer.Flush();

byte[] array = memoryStream.ToArray();
sslStream.Write(array);
sslStream.Flush();

// Close the client connection.
client.Close();

Hello, we tried as you mentioned but the problem is it is coming :-

if I encode then it is coming in the device like this "\u12312\u12123"

If I send arabic text it is coming like this :- ?????????

Please can you advise where is the issue?

Thanks

Have you had any luch on sending arabic text?

Even its the same ???? for me
