Location Push Service Extension not fired

There are too many moving parts to start guessing what might be wrong, remotely here. Your best bet is going to be to start looking at the Console log and see what might be happening when you send the location push. You would want to filter the output with your bundle id to avoid all the other unrelated log entries. There should be some indication as to what might be happening.

Now that you have fixed the problems with actually sending the push (getting 200), you would want to make sure it is not one of the following issues (not an exhaustive list):

• malformed push payload. You would get a 200 but it would fail on the device
• using the incorrect (but valid) apns-topic and token. If you also have implemented regular or VoIP notifications in your app, for instance, make sure the correct token is being used.
• system not able to launch the extension. Usually due to incorrect project configuration
• extension crashing at launch.
• extension crashing later while processing. Do you have logging at the point of entry?
• location permissions issue
• extension not finishing in a timely manner, or using too much memory and being killed

What I would suggest is to add ample os_log() statements to the extension, and then observe what is going on in the Console log. You will likely see something that will help further pinpoint the problem.

Hi Gualtier Malde,

Thank for your reply, you gave me a lot of suggestions to try/think about. I'm agree, I realize that remotely it's not simple...

Let's start listing what I'm sure It's correct:

• apns-topic and token: if I change something I get errors, something like "token not for topic", now I get 200
• location permissions: I'm sure I asked and gave "Always" permission properly
• extension not finishing in a timely manner, or using too much memory and being killed: I am logging at extension entry point, but no logs come out in the console

I was, then, wondering about correct payload or extension not launching/crashing... I will try to add some better log and I will check that the payload is correct, then I will provide more info about my progress.

Thanks again for your support 

Ok I solved.

The extension was crashing. The problem was not due to the extension nor to something related to the Location service, but to a component that I use to manage differents schemes and targets. I changed it and now I receive the push notification.

I realized it looking the device logs, while printing in console from the extension doesn't work.

Thanks again for your support Gualtier Malde

Can you please share how did you manage to make it works?
