Urban Airship crashes at take off. Illegal Argument Exception

Question

My Code in Applicaion.onCreate. The app crashes at UAirship.takeoff(this,options); Please help.

public class LiveVideoApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {

        super.onCreate();

        AirshipConfigOptions options = AirshipConfigOptions.loadDefaultOptions(this);

        // Optionally, customize your config at runtime:
        //
        options.inProduction = false;
        options.developmentAppKey = "key.. ";
        options.developmentAppSecret = "secret..";

        UAirship.takeOff(this, options);
        PushManager.shared().setIntentReceiver(IntentReceiver.class);
        Logger.logLevel = Log.VERBOSE;

        //use CustomPushNotificationBuilder to specify a custom layout
        CustomPushNotificationBuilder nb = new CustomPushNotificationBuilder();

        nb.statusBarIconDrawableId = R.drawable.icon_small;//custom status bar icon
//
        nb.layout = R.layout.notification;
        nb.layoutIconDrawableId = R.drawable.icon;//custom layout icon
        nb.layoutIconId = R.id.icon;
        nb.layoutSubjectId = R.id.subject;
        nb.layoutMessageId = R.id.message;

        // customize the sound played when a push is received
        nb.soundUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"+this.getPackageName()+"/" +R.raw.cat);

        PushManager.shared().setNotificationBuilder(nb);
        PushManager.shared().setIntentReceiver(IntentReceiver.class);

    }
}

Answer 1

I have also encountered this problem, and I resolved it. I will suggest you to make sure you have created an app on UrbanAirship with the same package of application which your application have. And also make sure your key and secret are correct.

IllegalArgumentException is thrown when the developmentAppKey and developmentAppSecret are wrong. Or key and secret are correct but your remote Urban Airship test application has a different Applicaion package set.
