Angular / ionic cannot authenticate after logging in

I've attempted to rewrite the javascript SDK into an ionic service.

the  main change is the execute request function

 

ExecuteRequest: function (completeUrl, data, authkey, authValue, callback) {
                 
 if (callback != null && typeof (callback) != "function")
 throw "Callback must be null of a function";
if (data == null)
 data = {};
 
 var startTime = new Date();
 //var requestBody = JSON.stringify(data);
 var requestBody = data;
 
 var requestheaders = {
                 
 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
 //; charset=UTF-8',
 //'Content-Type': 'application/json',
 'X-PlayFabSDK': 'JavaScriptSDK-' + PlayFab._internalSettings.sdkVersion
 }
 if (authkey != null)
 requestheaders[authkey] = authValue;
 console.log("executerequest headers" + JSON.stringify(requestheaders));
 $http.post( completeUrl, 
 requestBody,
 requestheaders )
 .success(function(result){
                 
// result.CallBackTimeMS = new Date() - startTime;
 callback(result, null);

 

so I can login ok

Since the response is that the authentication header is missing, that'd be the place to look. Clearly, there are some pretty significant differences in your implementation, so it's hard to say why the header isn't being delivered properly. Can you get a netmon or wireshark capture of the message, to see what's actually being sent?

yeah I've been toying with wiresharking it (urgh). theres a lot of comment about $http breaking POST requests and making it x-www-form-urlencoded to make things work. do you have an example of what I should be looking to see on the wire?

No, but Wireshark does at least make it easy. The HTTP headers are included by default, so all you have to do is open the HTTP in the decode pane in their interface, to see it. If you can get that, feel free to post the info here, and we can have a look.

got it. installed a packet sniffer on my phone called "Packet Capture"

my executerequest code looks like this, interestingly the shorthand version of $http seemingly doesn't work.

 

ExecuteRequest: function (completeUrl, data, authkey, authValue, callback) {
                
 if (callback != null && typeof (callback) != "function")
 throw "Callback must be null or a function";
if (data == null)
 data = {};
 
 var startTime = new Date();
 var requestBody = data;
 
 var requestheaders = {
                
 'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
 'X-PlayFabSDK': 'JavaScriptSDK-' + PlayFab._internalSettings.sdkVersion
 }
 if (authkey != null)
 requestheaders[authkey] = authValue;
 
 console.log("executerequest headers" + JSON.stringify(requestheaders));
$http({
                
 method: 'POST',
 url: completeUrl,
 data: requestBody,
 headers:requestheaders })
 .success(function(result){
                
 callback(result, null); 
 }).error(function(e){
                
// error.CallBackTimeMS = new Date() - startTime;
 callback(null, e); 
 }).catch(function(e){
                
 var error = {
                
 code: 503, // Service Unavailable
 status: "Service Unavailable",
 error: "Connection error",
 errorCode: 2, // PlayFabErrorCode.ConnectionError
 errorMessage: e
 };
// result.CallBackTimeMS = new Date() - startTime;
 callback(null, error); 
 });
 }

The missing header in your call would indeed be the problem, then. Since we don't provide an SDK which matches what you're building yet, I'm afraid we're not going to be able to assist much with debugging of this, though if you want to share your project with us, we can have see about having a look when we can.

that was a working executerequest, posted for anyone who follows in the ionic path, the rest of the code was pretty much cut n paste from the javascript. I've logged in, registered for push and sent a push to the device successfully.  fighting css now!
