Client push unavailable

[rogerhu]

After #311 got merged I started testing it again. I started seeing
"Master key is invalid, you should only use master key to send push'" on Parse push registrations.

I don't believe the Android SDK has the ability to send a master key ( (https://www.parse.com/questions/using-master-key-with-android). so I had to disable this line to get push notifications registered.

Is it possible to remove this validation until the Android/iOS SDK's enable this possibility?

After disabling it, I was able to validate user and channel pushes though!

Hi @rogerhu, as we said in wiki, we do not officially support client push yet. The main reason is related to security. Since you will distribute the app with your clientKey, malicious users can use that to send push notifications to your app users if you enable client push. For Parse.com, we have the dashboard to remind you and allow you to change this setting. It is disabled by default. For open parse server, we simply disable the client push at the beginning. Compared to client push, we always recommend developers to use cloud functions to send push notifications.
I will send a PR to allow you to enable client push when you initialize parse server later. Removing the checking does not have an effect on the push functionality, just be aware of the security issue I mention to you.

Yep makes sense thanks!

Thanks again for the input...the security concerns are duly noted.

Wondering if there's a PR that you have? We have a bunch of group projects that are going to be spinning up hosted Parse so curious to see if we'll be able to get it so it can be supported.

Thanks!

I encountered the same too
[Error]: Master key is invalid, you should only use master key to send push (Code: 115, Version: 1.12.0)

Could you please send us the solution?

Are you trying to send a push from Android? We are not going to support that, you should call a cloud function and send the push from there.

If you're having a problem just registering for push, not sending, please re-open.
