[Question]: Subscription ID -OR- token not available (Chrome)

[eightyfive]

How can we help?

I subscribe to User.PushSubscription.addEventListener and I allow the notifications.

• On one Chrome browser: ev.current.token: undefined (while id is available)
• On another Chrome browser: ev.current.id: undefined (while token is available)

Why is that?

More generally when to use id vs token? I can see that to create a Notification via API I need to pass the subscription id to include_subscription_ids... So what's token for?

Thank you in advance 🙏

By the way, when no id is available, this causes a Web SDK error:

ExecutorBase.js:93 n: processSubscriptionModel: missing onesignalId: {"subscribers":{},"modelName":"pushSubscriptions","modelId":"<REDACTED>","data":{"type":"ChromePush","token":"https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/<REDACTED>","enabled":true,"notification_types":1,"sdk":"160001","device_model":"MacIntel","device_os":87,"web_auth":"<REDACTED>","web_p256":"<REDACTED>"},"awaitOneSignalIdAvailable":{}}

@eightyfive id might be undefined if the browser hasn't registered with OneSignal yet. token is the push token the bowser gives the SDK, once this is available the SDK will automatically register with OneSignal's backend where it will get an id.

The token isn't something most workflows will need, if you are looking to send notifications you only need to use the id with include_subscription_ids as you noted. The token is only useful for debugging or doing something with it outside of OneSignal.

Can you provide details on reproducing the processSubscriptionModel: missing onesignalId error you are seeing?

Unfortunately I moved away from this lib due to time constraints. As far as I remember the id was never picked up (even with listener).

hello, I have the same issue on old applications.

But it works if I create new application

I am having the same exact issue, any solutions if you have found so far ?

hello @tanikatech
I have temp solution:
Open Keys and IDs then turn off Identity Verification for email + external_id (recommended).
it seems that we have to wait for Web SDK release.
