I'm working on an app that makes use of both regular (visible) push notifications and silent push notifications. Both types are working fine on a device, but only the regular type is working in the simulator. I'm sending the same test payloads to both the device and simulator.
To be more specific, I use this payload for a silent push notification:
{
	"aps": {
		"content-available": 1
	},
	"Simulator Target Bundle": "com.mycompany.MyApp"
}
And I try to send this payload to the simulator with this command:
xcrun simctl push booted com.mycompany.MyApp silent.apns
As far as I can see, the app in the simulator does not respond to this silent push notification, but the app on a device does when running both in the foreground and background.
Is this a known issue? If so, has anybody been able to get this to work? Or are silent push notifications just not supported on the simulator (yet)?
