Answer 1

You can use this both function for getting Device Token & FCM Token:

---

For device token use this:

func application(_ application:UIApplication,didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken 
devicetoken: Data)
 {
        let deviceTokenString = deviceToken.hexString
        print(deviceTokenString)
 }

For FCM token use this:

func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceiveRegistrationToken fcmToken: String) {
    print("Firebase registration token: \(fcmToken)")
    userDefault.set(fcmToken, forKey: "fcmToken")

}

For UUID use this:

 let deviceIds = UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString

Assuming that you already checked that everything has been setup right, based on your code, it seems that it should works fine, all you have to do is to change the format to %02.2hhx instead of %02X to get the appropriate hex string. Thus you should get a valid one.

As a good practice, you could add a Data extension into your project for getting the string:

import Foundation

extension Data {
    var hexString: String {
        let hexString = map { String(format: "%02.2hhx", $0) }.joined()
        return hexString
    }
}

Usage:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    let deviceTokenString = deviceToken.hexString
    print(deviceTokenString)
}

Swift 5

You can use like,

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    let hexString = deviceToken.map { String(format: "%02.2hhx", $0) }.joined()
    print(hexString)
}

Answer 4

Working Code for getting deviceToken in - iOS 11 or greater,

Swift 4 | Swift 5

Request user permission

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    
    let notificationTypes: UIUserNotificationType = [UIUserNotificationType.alert,UIUserNotificationType.badge, UIUserNotificationType.sound]
    let pushNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(types: notificationTypes, categories: nil)
    
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(pushNotificationSettings)
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    
    return true        
}

Getting device token

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    
    let token = deviceToken.map { String(format: "%02.2hhx", $0) }.joined()
    print(token) 
}

In case of error

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {

    print("i am not available in simulator :( \(error)")
}

Answer 5

To get device token

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    // Convert token to string
    let deviceTokenString = deviceToken.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)})
}

Hope this will help you

You can get the device token like this:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    let token = deviceToken.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)})
    print("Device Token : ",token)
}
