question

First: sorry, I'm not very skilled in using this forum. @Brendan I think I just downvoted your reply accidentally because I didn't know the meaning of the symbol. Moreover I didnt find the reply-button at your answer so I hope this post will anyway be appended to your answer.

Now back to the question: When I wrote my comment I had Plafab Unity SDK 170530 installed. Now I upgraded to SDK 170612, but nothing changed, stil no sound. You are talking about „Package“, where you can pass in the value for the sound parameter. Thats interesting. Do you mean that „Package“ is an additional property of the SendPushNotification function besides „Recipient“, „Message“ and „Subject“? I had a look in the server code in the Unity SDK 170612, but couldn't find it (i only found „Recipient“, „Message“ and „Subject“).

I tried to send the notifaction with the „Try it“ button in the API Reference and from code, but the result is the same.

This is the code I use:

ExecuteCloudScriptRequest executeCloudScriptRequest = new ExecuteCloudScriptRequest
{
    FunctionName = "SendPushNote",
    FunctionParameter = new
    {
        Id = "683173999F249BEF",
        Msg = "push test text"
    }
};
PlayFabClientAPI.ExecuteCloudScript(executeCloudScriptRequest, CallbackSuccess, CallbackError);

And the called cloudscript is this:

handlers.SendPushNote = function (args)
{
    var request = {};
    request.Recipient = args.Id;
    request.Message = args.Msg;
    server.SendPushNotification(request);
}

I have an assumption for the reason. Because when I send a push notification from within the Playfab Game Manager>Players>Select Player>SendPushNotification-Button, then there is another strange behaviour: The push notification arrives at my phone (still without sound), but on my receiving phone it it doesnt display the text, that I delivered in message-field, but instead displays that:

{"ScheduleDate":"2017-06-18T12:32:52Z","Title":"test title that I wrote in the title field","Message":"text that I wrote to the message field","Icon":"","Sound":"","CustomData":""}

So it seems that for some reason it doesnt show the message, but the json payload. Thats not a big problem, since this only happens when sending from the game manager, and works correct when sending from code. But the interesting thing is that this json payload shows

"Sound":""

while the apple docs require to fill this field with

"sound":"default"

if a sound should be played. Though the apple docs say, that it falls back to the default sound, when the specified sound file is not found, but maybe they treat an empty string differently.
