## SDKのセットアップ

### 1. SDKを追加

プロジェクトに`onesignal-cordova-plugin`パッケージを追加します。

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Cordova theme={null}
  cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin
  ```

  ```shell Ionic/Capacitor theme={null}
  npm install onesignal-cordova-plugin
  npx cap sync
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### iOSネイティブ依存関係

`onesignal-cordova-plugin` 5.5.0以降では、`cordova-ios` 8以降を使用するCordova iOSアプリは、OneSignalのネイティブiOS依存関係をSwift Package Manager (SPM)で解決できます。古いCordova iOSアプリは、引き続き`OneSignalCordovaDependencies`を通じてCocoaPodsを使用します。

このCordovaプラグインをSPMで使用するCapacitorアプリには、プラグインのルート`Package.swift`をCapacitorが読み取れるようにCapacitor 8.4.0以降が必要です。新しいCapacitor iOSプロジェクトでは、`npx cap add ios --packagemanager SPM`でネイティブプラットフォームを作成し、プラグインのインストール後に`npx cap sync ios`を実行してください。

### オプション: 位置情報モジュールを無効にする

`onesignal-cordova-plugin` 5.4.0 以降では、アプリが `OneSignal.Location` を使用しない場合、Android、iOS CocoaPods、iOS Swift Package Manager のビルドから OneSignal のネイティブ位置情報モジュールを除外できます。

プラグインをインストールする前、またはネイティブプラットフォームを同期する前に、`ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true` を設定してください。この値は大文字と小文字を区別しません。`1` に設定することもできます。iOS Swift Package Managerでは、`Package.swift`が位置情報を無効にした状態で評価されるように、実際のXcodeビルドプロセス中もこのフラグを設定したままにしてください。

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Cordova theme={null}
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true cordova platform add ios
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true cordova platform add android
  ```

  ```shell Capacitor theme={null}
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true npx cap sync ios
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true npx cap sync android
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true npx cap run ios --no-sync
  ```

  ```yaml GitHub Actions theme={null}
  env:
    ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION: true
  ```
</CodeGroup>

位置情報モジュールを無効にすると、`OneSignal.Location` への呼び出しが無視されます。`OneSignal.Location.isShared()` は `false` に解決されます。

#### ネイティブ依存関係がキャッシュされた後に変更を適用する

環境変数はネイティブ依存関係が解決されるときに読み取られます。既存のプロジェクトで変数を変更する場合は、関連するネイティブ依存関係の状態をクリアし、変数がエクスポートされているシェルで再解決してください。

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Cordova theme={null}
  cd platforms/ios
  pod deintegrate
  rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true pod install
  ```

  ```shell Capacitor theme={null}
  cd ios/App
  pod deintegrate
  rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true pod install
  ```

  ```shell Swift Package Manager theme={null}
  rm -rf ios/App/App.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/swiftpm/Package.resolved
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true xcodebuild \
    -resolvePackageDependencies \
    -project ios/App/App.xcodeproj \
    -derivedDataPath ios/App/build
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true xcodebuild \
    -project ios/App/App.xcodeproj \
    -scheme App \
    -derivedDataPath ios/App/build
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Xcode または Android Studio を使用する場合は、`ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION` がエクスポートされているターミナルから IDE を起動してください。CI では、DerivedData、Swift Package Manager、CocoaPods、Gradle のキャッシュキーに `ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION` の値を含めてください。
</Warning>

### 2. SDKを初期化

プロジェクトのフレームワーク（CordovaおよびIonic、またはIonicおよびCapacitor）に応じて、提供された手順に従ってOneSignalを初期化します。

<Accordion title="Ionic + Capacitorの手順">
  * **Angular**：`src/app/app.component.ts`ファイルで、提供されたメソッドを使用してOneSignalを初期化します。

## Android setup

Make sure your OneSignal app is configured for the Android platform using your [Firebase credentials](/docs/en/android-firebase-credentials).

Set up your [notification icons](/docs/en/notification-icons) to match your app’s branding. If this step is skipped, a default bell icon will display for your push notifications.

**Build for Android**

At this point, you should be able to build and run your app on a physical Android device or emulator without issues.

<Check>
  After confirming that your Android build works:

  * Continue with the [iOS setup](#ios-setup), if applicable.
  * Or jump ahead to [Testing the OneSignal SDK integration](#testing-the-onesignal-sdk-integration).
</Check>

***

## iOS setup

Make sure your OneSignal app is configured for the iOS platform using either the [p8 Token (Recommended)](/docs/en/ios-p8-token-based-connection-to-apns) or [p12 Certificate](/docs/en/ios-p12-generate-certificates).

Follow these steps to add push notifications to your iOS app, including support for [Badges](/docs/en/badges), [Confirmed receipt](/docs/en/confirmed-delivery), and images.

### 1. Add Push Notifications capability to app target

The [Push Notifications capability](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserNotifications/registering-your-app-with-apns#Enable-the-push-notifications-capability) allows your app to register a push token and receive notifications.

1. Open your app’s `.xcworkspace` file in Xcode.
2. Select **your app target > Signing & Capabilities**
3. Click **+ Capability** and add **Push Notifications** capability

<Frame caption="The app target is given Push Notifications capability.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/9_Q1FZLh6C0BFLq-/images/docs/c44118529490f1a7a1245a4c1e8b525d9eb23ab430f035b26b426889fc0486b6-382d57ff7ce1023a863da9f18a97b9a643b1e4b172ec02f1b6661160c362d827-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.19.03_AM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=9_Q1FZLh6C0BFLq-&q=85&s=e4475a29ab479ec1bd151c809bebd26a" width="2436" height="1324" data-path="images/docs/c44118529490f1a7a1245a4c1e8b525d9eb23ab430f035b26b426889fc0486b6-382d57ff7ce1023a863da9f18a97b9a643b1e4b172ec02f1b6661160c362d827-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.19.03_AM.png" />
</Frame>

### 2. Add Background Modes capability to app target

This enables your app to wake in the background when push notifications arrive.

1. Add [Background Modes](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/pushing-background-updates-to-your-app) capability
2. Enable **Remote notifications**

<Frame caption="The app target is given Remote Notifications background execution mode.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/YOTSrtBSoqdrJ37A/images/docs/498bd555602023bd8f3ba8e7ee58c8f58eb260accd2f941f64e3e5de07ad99d8-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.20.58_AM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=YOTSrtBSoqdrJ37A&q=85&s=79995d23ebbcb67d6a2bd0412259f8c0" width="2436" height="1324" data-path="images/docs/498bd555602023bd8f3ba8e7ee58c8f58eb260accd2f941f64e3e5de07ad99d8-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.20.58_AM.png" />
</Frame>

### 3. Add app target to App Group

[App Groups](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-app-groups/#Create-App-Groups-for-all-other-platforms) allow data sharing between your app and the Notification Service Extension. Required for confirmed receipt and Badges.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="If you do NOT have an App Group configured">
    1. Add **App Groups** capability
    2. In the App Groups capability click **+**
    3. Add a new container ID in format: `group.your_bundle_id.onesignal`

    * Keep **group.** and **.onesignal** prefix and suffix. Replace **`your_bundle_id`** with your app's bundle identifier.
    * For example, bundle identifier `com.onesignal.MyApp`, will have the container name `group.com.onesignal.MyApp.onesignal`.

    <Frame caption="The app target is part of the App Group.">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/_KaXe4GQkxsEfa17/images/docs/34e545ae24b0fbdf043fd587102f7039cd1daf65777e84690946f4fb20f739aa-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.22.52_AM.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=_KaXe4GQkxsEfa17&q=85&s=5904f8a6dd4030f5ee7cfa82b3c3eeb8" width="2436" height="1324" data-path="images/docs/34e545ae24b0fbdf043fd587102f7039cd1daf65777e84690946f4fb20f739aa-Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_11.22.52_AM.png" />

  <Tab title="If you DO have an App Group">
    1. Open your **App Target** and **OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension Target's** `Info.plist`
    2. Add a new property to the `Info.plist` for both targets:

    * **Key:** `OneSignal_app_groups_key`
    * **Value:** Your existing App Group name (e.g., `group.your-custom-group-id`)

    ```xml XML theme={null}
    <key>OneSignal_app_groups_key</key>

### 5. Add NSE target to app group

Use the same App Group ID you added in step 3.

1. Go to **OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension > Signing & Capabilities**
2. Add **App Groups**
3. Add the exact same group ID

<Warning>
  If you are using a custom App Group name and not `group.your_bundle_id.onesignal` then make sure to add your App Group ID to both the App Target and OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension Target's `Info.plist`! See [step 3](#3-add-app-target-to-app-group) for more information.
</Warning>

<Frame caption="The NSE now belongs to the same app group as your app target.">

### 7. Add OneSignal to the NSE target

<Note>
  If your SDK uses Swift Package Manager (SPM) for iOS dependencies, you can skip this step. The OneSignal package is already resolved and available to all targets.
</Note>

Update your `ios/Podfile` to include:

<CodeGroup>
  ```ruby Podfile theme={null}
  target 'OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension' do
    pod 'OneSignalXCFramework', '>= 5.0.0', '< 6.0'
  end
  ```

  ```ruby Example theme={null}
  target 'MyApp' do
    config = use_native_modules!

    use_react_native!(
      :path => config[:reactNativePath],
      # An absolute path to your application root.
      :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
    )

    post_install do |installer|
      # https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
      react_native_post_install(
        installer,
        config[:reactNativePath],
        :mac_catalyst_enabled => false,
        # :ccache_enabled => true
      )
    end
  end

  target 'OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension' do
    pod 'OneSignalXCFramework', '>= 5.0.0', '< 6.0'
  end
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Open your project in the terminal and run:

```shell shell  theme={null}
cd ios pod install cd .. 
```

#### Common pod install errors

You may run into the following errors, here is how you can resolve them.

<Accordion
  title="ArgumentError - \[Xcodeproj] Unable to find compatibility version string for
object version `70`."
>
  CocoaPods relies on the `xcodeproj` Ruby gem to read your Xcode project files. As of now, the latest `xcodeproj` release does not recognize object version 70, which was introduced by Xcode 16. So when CocoaPods tries to open your `.xcodeproj` file, it crashes with this error.

  1. Close Xcode.
  2. Navigate to your project's `ios/<your-app>.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` file.
  3. Change this line: `objectVersion = 70;`
  4. Replace it with: `objectVersion = 55;`
  5. Save, close, and rerun `cd ios pod install cd ..`
</Accordion>

### Build for iOS

You should now be able to build and run your app on a real iOS device or iOS simulator (16.2+).

#### Common iOS build errors

<Accordion title="commandPhaseScript Execution exited with a non-zero code">
  1. Delete your Podfile.lock
  2. Delete your Pods folder
  3. Delete your .xcworkspace
  4. Pod install
  5. Cmd + Shift + K to Clean the build and then retry building

  If these steps do not resolve the error, build directly from the Xcode, then find the build error in the report navigator pictured below.

</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Cycle Inside... building could produce unreliable results.">
  You may see this error when building with Xcode 15+, due to a default configuration change affecting cross platform systems.

  1. Open your `.xcworkspace` folder in Xcode and navigate to **your app target > Build Phases**.
  2. You should have a phase called **"Embed Foundation Extensions"** or **"Embed App Extensions"**.
  3. Drag and move this build phase to *above* **"Run Script"**.
  4. Build and run your app. The error should be resolved.

  <Step title="Get your App API Key and App ID.">
    In your OneSignal dashboard, go to **Settings > [Keys & IDs](/docs/en/keys-and-ids)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update the provided code.">
    Replace `YOUR_APP_API_KEY` and `YOUR_APP_ID` in the code below with your actual keys. This code uses the `Test Users` segment we created earlier.

    ```curl theme={null}
    curl -X \
    POST --url 'https://api.onesignal.com/notifications' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
     --header 'authorization: Key YOUR_APP_API_KEY' \
     --data \
     '{
      "app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
      "target_channel": "push",
      "name": "Testing basic setup",
      "headings": {
      	"en": "👋"
      },
      "contents": {
        "en": "Hello world!"
      },
      "included_segments": [
        "Test Users"
      ],
      "ios_attachments": {

      },
      "big_picture": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11823027?s=200&v=4"
    }'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the code.">
    Run the code in your terminal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check images and confirmed receipt.">
    If all setup steps were completed successfully, the test users should receive a notification with an image included:

    <Frame caption="Push notification with image on iOS and Android">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/Z6xkXGfmy814If53/images/docs/e4e3e812eb6841ff11795a6ee0ea36eff483920ea9266733d6948ed34df3def3-Untitled_design_9.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Z6xkXGfmy814If53&q=85&s=9bf6f4a73e38ec424b8cfec75a474a26" width="1200" height="800" data-path="images/docs/e4e3e812eb6841ff11795a6ee0ea36eff483920ea9266733d6948ed34df3def3-Untitled_design_9.png" />
    </Frame>

    <Info>Images will appear small in the collapsed notification view. Expand the notification to see the full image.</Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check for confirmed receipt.">
    In your dashboard, go to **Delivery > Sent Messages**, then click the message to view stats.

    You should see the **confirmed** stat, meaning the device received the push.
    <Check>You have successfully sent a notification via our API to a segment.</Check>

    <Warning>
      * No image received? Your [Notification Service Extension](#ios-setup) might be missing.
      * No confirmed receipt? Review the troubleshooting guide [here](/docs/en/confirmed-delivery#troubleshooting-confirmed-delivery).
      * Having issues? Copy-paste the api request and a log from start to finish of app launch into a `.txt` file. Then share both with `support@onesignal.com`.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Send an in-app message

[In-app messages](/docs/en/in-app-messages-setup) let you communicate with users while they are using your app.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Close or background your app on the device.">
    This is because users must meet the in-app audience criteria *before* a new session starts. In OneSignal, a new session starts when the user opens your app after it has been in the background or closed for at least 30 seconds. For more details, see our guide on [how in-app messages are displayed](/docs/en/in-app-messages-setup#how-are-iams-displayed%3F).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an in-app message.">
    * In your OneSignal dashboard, navigate to **Messages > In-App > New In-App**.
    * Find and select the **Welcome** message.
    * Set your Audience as the **Test Users** segment we used previously.

## User identification

Previously, we demonstrated how to create mobile [Subscriptions](/docs/en/subscriptions). Now we'll expand to identifying [Users](/docs/en/users) across all their subscriptions (including push, email, and SMS) using the OneSignal SDK. We'll cover External IDs, tags, multi-channel subscriptions, privacy, and event tracking to help you unify and engage users across platforms.

### Assign External ID

Use an External ID to identify users consistently across devices, email addresses, and phone numbers using your backend's user identifier. This ensures your messaging stays unified across channels and 3rd party systems (especially important for [Integrations](/docs/en/integrations)).

Set the External ID with our SDK's [`login` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#login-external-id) each time they are identified by your app.

<Note>
  OneSignal generates unique read-only IDs for subscriptions (Subscription ID) and users (OneSignal ID).

  As users download your app on different devices, subscribe to your website, and/or provide you email addresses and phone numbers outside of your app, new subscriptions will be created.

  Setting the External ID via our SDK is highly recommended to identify users across all their subscriptions, regardless of how they are created.
</Note>

### Add Tags

[Tags](/docs/en/add-user-data-tags) are key-value pairs of string data you can use to store user properties (like `username`, `role`, or preferences) and events (like `purchase_date`, `game_level`, or user interactions). Tags power advanced [Message Personalization](/docs/en/message-personalization) and [Segmentation](/docs/en/segmentation) allowing for more advanced use cases.

Set tags with our SDK [`addTag` and `addTags` methods](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#data-tags) as events occur in your app.

In this example, the user reached level 6 identifiable by the tag called `current_level` set to a value of `6`.

<Frame caption="A user profile in OneSignal with a tag called &#x22;current_level&#x22; set to &#x22;6&#x22;">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/4HyuQPBpu-4xjmQC/images/docs/d4674261847231079fecc176ba88065409c90943e3854b9df200457325a0aed4-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.47.25.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=4HyuQPBpu-4xjmQC&q=85&s=91083bf83a4c03ea40d485b23f072259" width="1380" height="941" data-path="images/docs/d4674261847231079fecc176ba88065409c90943e3854b9df200457325a0aed4-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.47.25.png" />
</Frame>

We can create a segment of users that have a level of between 5 and 10, and use that to send targeted and personalized messages:

### Add email and/or SMS subscriptions

Earlier we saw how our SDK creates mobile subscriptions to send push and in-app messages. You can also reach users through emails and SMS channels by creating the corresponding subscriptions.

* Use the [`addEmail` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addemail-%2C-removeemail) to create email subscriptions.
* Use the [`addSms` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addsms-%2C-removesms) to create SMS subscriptions.

If the email address and/or phone number already exist in the OneSignal app, the SDK will add it to the existing user, it will not create duplicates.

You can view unified users via **Audience > Users** in the dashboard or with the [View user API](/reference/view-user).

<Frame caption="A user profile with push, email, and SMS subscriptions unified by External ID">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/56ctKxZSV4m5VEkn/images/docs/b1cf9999d41da6e4ce333e1126612529b85eac47447bb0b434418d082f595acd-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.43.46.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=56ctKxZSV4m5VEkn&q=85&s=7c3885b66e44e097fa0ed7c47f27c911" width="1506" height="848" data-path="images/docs/b1cf9999d41da6e4ce333e1126612529b85eac47447bb0b434418d082f595acd-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.43.46.png" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  Best practices for multi-channel communication

  * Obtain explicit consent before adding email or SMS subscriptions.
  * Explain the benefits of each communication channel to users.
  * Provide channel preferences so users can select which channels they prefer.
</Note>

***

### Privacy & user consent

To control when OneSignal collects user data, use the SDK's consent gating methods:

* [`setConsentRequired(true)`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#setconsentrequired): Prevents data collection until consent is given.
* [`setConsentGiven(true)`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#setconsentgiven): Enables data collection once consent is granted.

See our Privacy & security docs for more on:

* [Data collected by the SDK](/docs/en/data-collected-by-the-onesignal-sdk)
* [Handling personal data](/docs/en/handling-personal-data)

***

## Prompt for push permissions

Instead of calling `requestPermission()` immediately on app open, take a more strategic approach. Use an in-app message to explain the value of push notifications before requesting permission.

For best practices and implementation details, see our [Prompt for push permissions](/docs/en/prompt-for-push-permissions) guide.

***

## Listen to push, user, and in-app events

Use SDK listeners to react to user actions and state changes.

The SDK provides several event listeners for you to hook into. See our [SDK reference guide](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference) for more details.

### Push notification events

* [`addClickListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-push): Detect when a notification is tapped. Helpful for [Deep Linking](/docs/en/deep-linking).
* [`addForegroundLifecycleListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addforegroundlifecyclelistener-push): Control how notifications behave in foreground.

For full customization, see [Mobile Service Extensions](/docs/en/service-extensions).

### User state changes

* [`addObserver()` for user state](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addobserver-user-state): Detect when the External ID is set.
* [`addPermissionObserver()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addpermissionobserver-push): Track the user's specific interaction with the native push permission prompt.
* [`addObserver()` for push subscription](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addobserver-push-subscription-changes): Track when the push subscription status changes.

### In-app message events

* [`addClickListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-in-app): Handle in-app click actions. Ideal for deep linking or tracking events.
* [`addLifecycleListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-in-app): Track full lifecycle of in-app messages (shown, clicked, dismissed, etc.).
