[Parse Server] Embedded SDKs don't support Parse Server

[evileye2000]

Parse server needs api to change server. But, embedded sdk did not support yet.
And, parse server did not support push too.

I want to know the schedule about update sdk and push support.
Please answer me although there is no plan or drop the embedded project.

Thanks

I sent a new patch for connect parse server.

Yup, looks like it, thanks for reporting.
We are going to use this issue to track progress and impementation of this.
Here is the brief list of all things that needs to be addressed so all implementation of embedded Parse SDK support Open Parse Server:

• Add parseInitializeWithServerURL() to include/parse.h
• Add parseInitializeWithServerURL() implementation to unix/src/parse.c
• Add parseInitializeWithServerURL() implementation to rtos/parse_impl.c
• Add serverURL support to unix/yun/yun.c
• Add beginWithServerURL() to Arduino SDK in src/internal/ParseClient.h
• Add beginWithServerURL() implementation to Arduino in src/internal/esp8266/ParseClient.cpp
• Add beginWithServerURL() implementation to Arduino in src/internal/yun/ParseClient.cpp
• Add beginWithServerURL() implementation to Arduino in src/internal/zero/ParseClient.cpp

Feel free to jump on any one of these and link back to this issue.

This comment is going to be updating by itself as progress is made.

There's one more thing that needs to be addressed. The client key (or REST API Key, in this case) is optional when Parse Server is used. The SDKs should provide an initialization method that only requires an application id.

Hello, Thanks a lot for that, have you got any update on It? Do you schedule a fix soon ?

[nlutsenko]

Hey @notiles, no update on it yet, but I'll do my best to review any contributions that implement this.

[evileye2000]

@hramos I sent a new PR. we can assign "NULL" to client key like android api for parse server.

[evileye2000]

@notiles unix can connect parse server now. But arduino is not yet patched.

[notiles]

@evileye2000 Thanks a lot but my biggest priority is on arduino YUN. I read that Parse use the PPNS protocol, if we patch the Arduino Library, does we have to configure our server with those specifications? https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/wiki/PPNS-Protocol-Specification

[hramos]

@notiles yes, you will need to set up a PPNS server to continue sending notifications to Parse IoT devices.
