Question:

How do I set up my Chrome browser as a test device?

Answer:

Web browsers are registered as test devices by their Hardware ID (HWID), not by push token. The QR-code auto-configuration flow works for iOS and Android apps only.

  1. Open your website and subscribe to push notifications.
  2. Right-click the page and choose Inspect.
  3. Open the Application tab (in Safari it is the Storage tab).
  4. Go to IndexedDB → PUSHWOOSH_SDK_STORE → keyValue and copy the value of the params.hwid record.
    Alternatively, run await Pushwoosh.getHWID() in the Console tab. This method returns a Promise, so use await or .then(); calling Pushwoosh.getHWID() without them just prints Promise {}.
  5. In the Control Panel go to Settings → Test Devices, click Create test device → Push, and fill in Device Name, Device HWID and Device Type (Web). Click Save.

See Add test push devices and Device identifiers for details.
