[question]: How can I use the "include_aliases" field with an "external_id" array in it while creating a notification ?

[alexis-valois]

How can we help?

As the documentation indicates, it is now deprecated to use "include_external_user_ids" while creating a notification. We should use "include_aliases" with an "external_id" field that will contain an array of external ids.

But, when I try to do so using the Java SDK, it does not look like its possible to supply the "external_id" field to the PlayerNotificationTargetIncludeAliases object required by the includeAliases field of a Notification object.

The field seams to be hardcoded to "alias_label".

Is there a workaround or am I misunderstanding something ?

Thanks in advance

Hi all, thanks for reporting. This was indeed a problem on the previous versions of the OneSignal Java API.

We have made several SDK updates since this was reported and it should be fixed.
We have also been working on a new major version 5.x.x that includes this fix. Please check out the latest release at 5.2.0-beta1.

Please reach out with any further questions or feedback.
