APNS Firebase Notification failed to fetch token

Question

For Swift3 / iOS10 see this link:

ios10, Swift 3 and Firebase Push Notifications (FCM)

I'm trying to use the Firebase for Notifications and I integrated it exactly as described in the docs. But I don't understand why is doesn't work. When I build my project I see this line:

2016-05-25 16:09:34.987: <FIRInstanceID/WARNING> Failed to fetch default token Error Domain=com.firebase.iid Code=0 "(null)"

This my AppDelegate:

 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    FIRApp.configure()
    FIRDatabase.database().persistenceEnabled = true
     var service: DataService = DataService()
    service.start()
    registerForPushNotifications(application)
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    return true
}

func registerForPushNotifications(application: UIApplication) {
    let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(
        forTypes: [.Badge, .Sound, .Alert], categories: nil)
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterUserNotificationSettings notificationSettings: UIUserNotificationSettings) {
    if notificationSettings.types != .None {
        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
    }
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
    let tokenChars = UnsafePointer<CChar>(deviceToken.bytes)
    var tokenString = ""

    for i in 0..<deviceToken.length {
        tokenString += String(format: "%02.2hhx", arguments: [tokenChars[i]])
    }

    FIRInstanceID.instanceID().setAPNSToken(deviceToken, type: FIRInstanceIDAPNSTokenType.Unknown)
    print("Device Token:", tokenString)
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void)  {
    // Print message ID.
    print("Message ID: \(userInfo["gcm.message_id"]!)")

    // Print full message.
    print("%@", userInfo)
}

I too had the same issue and nothing worked for me. But all you have to do is go to your firebase console and then find your project and goto its settings, there check in its cloud messaging tab and upload your .p12 certificate into that.

thats it! happy coding :)
