Local notification phonegap ios

Question

I'm using Local Notification plugin for a phonegap iOS app. When I try to add a new Notification, the app throw a NSInvalidArgumentException.

Here is the code when i add a notification:

var now                  = new Date().getTime(),
        _60_seconds_from_now = new Date(now + 60*1000);     
window.plugin.notification.local.add({
                                              id:      1,
                                              title:   'Reminder',
                                              message: 'Dont forget to buy some flowers.',
                                              repeat:  false,
                                              date:    _60_seconds_from_now
                                         });

And here is the output

any idea? Thank you.

You are getting the error from the native side, one of the parameters you are passing is different type than expected perhaps. You can debug in xcode and resolve the problem easily. Also there may be several local notification plugins, I don't see which of them you are using. — mentat, Aug 30 '14 at 12:33
Hi @mentat, I'm using this plugin https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications Also, I debugged in xcode and i didn't find anything strange — Sergio Pacheco, Aug 30 '14 at 14:22

Your id param is not string, but the plugin seem to require a string value for id.

I find the solution. If you are using iOS 7.1, you must replace this line

 NSString* notId =[notification.userInfo objectForKey:@"id"];

for this

 NSString* notId =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [notification.userInfo objectForKey:@"id"]];

in the method notificationWithId.

Thanks for the help!
