I would like to built an app in setting pane where the user could add some filter on incoming notification (app, word or sentence inside or not...etc) and then assgn an action to this. Is there a way to minitor every incoming notification? Like an always on invisible app or something in the background? And then is it possible to assign an action or at least a shortcut to execute (set by user in setting)...? Thanks!
Every incoming notification to the phone, not just to your app? No. An invisible app, no a background app, no. No disrespect but you're obviously very new to iOS development. Such things like this are out of the question.
Ok... can I ask why? And could it be something that apple could add to the firmware? I could understand that they dont want an app to be able to modify other app notification even if it would be possible to just allow to filter... but if they add it to the firmware they can limit it to filter without having to worry about the appstore...
May I ask why? I know that its not a thing to allow an app from appstore to access other app content, but if it were part of firmware it would allow user to filter notifications without any risk because the firmware would dict the rules and its the user who would filter his notifications and the notifications are adressed to the user... Is it something possible from this point of view and if not why? Its always interesting to know about those things... Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your reply, actually my main question was about that, I was trying to do it by actual capabilities but the real deal is by the OS of course, the only remaining question is about the OS future, I mean is it something apple is looking forward to do? Because if they could do a built in feature that allow user in the setting pane to configure some event/gesture like swipe, touch, double tap, incoming notification with filter, ceduled, connect to wifi/bluetooth...etc to action like open an app (ask for passcode if protected), send webhook to end point, flip a switch (plane mode, wifi, etc) an so on... maybe with multiple profile that can be set like when connect to car bluetooth then enable the car profile, to be able to enable hand free or so feature... it would be the end of jailbreak because people who do this want those feature and other tweaks are secondary... I think a lot of users are just waiting for it from apple. (in reference, those tweaks are: activator and bannersound, a lot of addon have been made but the ideas is there)
I know that some feature are not possible but 90% could be done without any problem. From my side, I use smart home hub and a lot of data comes from the phone because the phone is always with the user and the app is installed there... and sometimes the phone could do the link where the hub could not and it would allows to makes the devices real smart, usefull and costumized.
Thanks for reply again and I hope the idea to make its way! :)
