Thank you so much, @robinschaafsma

May I ask why do we need an extension for notification? It's already doable from play store developer account and iOS developer account isn't it?

You might not need them. Some people do.

Interesting Robin! I will play with this in the future.

There is some Dutch in your post

This extension is amazing.
I used it for upcoming AppGratis feature.
Robin has worked hard for make it!

Hey Robin, the extension works like a charm when building directly to my phone, but I get this error when I send the ipa through Application Loader. Thoughts?

I've followed both yours and Batch's instructions regarding new profiles and certificates and such.

Yes, i have the same error it seems like aps-enviromment is set to Development instead to Distribution when building with stencyl.
riki82 has solved this by building his game with Xcode. I working on a tutorial to share his Solution.

Awesome, thanks!

Ok i updated the extension to 0.6. Download this version now.

For iOS:

I'm now getting this error in Xcode. Any idea what that is and how to solve it?

Seems a PATH folder error

Hmm, I don't seem to have any '/' in the search paths, see attached. Really stumped.

Ok, then -libApplicationMain library is not present in lib folder in you xcode project.

Check if libApplicationMain.a is in the following folders:

- Desktop/FlipCamp/Export/ios/FlipChamp/lib/i386 (for build in simulator) should not present here
- Desktop/FlipCamp/Export/ios/FlipChamp/lib/x86_64  (for build in simulator) should not present here
- Desktop/FlipCamp/Export/ios/ FlipChamp/lib/arm7 (for build on real device)
- Desktop/FlipCamp/Export/ios/ FlipChamp/lib/arm64 (for build on real device)

You have to test on a real device, if you are testing in Simulator you get this error, because the library isn't present in i386 and x86_64

Build to my phone through Xcode worked! I should mention that the Base SDK used in Xcode needs to match the iOS version on your phone as well - in my case 9.2.
