OUTDATED DEVICE: Parse Push Notification to Android devices

Question

Hi have worked with parse for saving data. But notification is something i am stuck with. I am not able figure out what's going wrong.

I have done all the receiver registrations and so my device also gets registered in the installation table but while sending push from web console it says "push sent 0" looking into the description of each push it shows that "OUTDATED DEVICE - The records on this installation are outdated, the user might have uninstalled the app." But I just did the registration.

I am going mad with this...no clue in what am I doing wrong, I am using eclipse IDE, Can anyone please suggest me any Solution??

I faced exactly the same problem and I fixed it a few minutes ago by coincidence. I hope the problem can be solved with the same touch-up for you as well.

In my situation, I used one of the older projects I worked and I have changed manifest package name manually in a way. In AndroidManifest.xml file, the manifest package name was changed to "com.myprojectname". There was no problem and app can run without any error with this package name. Also, all of Parse features run problem-free except push notification service. Then I checked other paths with Ctrl + Shift + R and searched whether R.java uses the same name. Unsurprisingly, the package name was identical in this file but I realized that in the lines below R.java uses the pattern of "net.myprojectname.app" instead of "com.myprojectname". I replaced "com.myprojectname" with "net.myprojectname.app" in all files by using Ctrl + Shift + R again. I think it was not the cause of the problem but I tried to send a last push notification desperately. It is hard to believe but it is worked. I got the notification successfully after all.

I answered the question in a highly informal and non-technical way but I have no idea about the underlying cause, I just want to help. Maybe it works for you. Good luck.
