Force Update required after App Transfer for Push Notifications?
This question is a follow-on and clarification from this earlier post. I'd just like to confirm that after an App Transfer has been completed, whether there is any need for a new release to be cut? Judging from the prior post, my understanding is that a new release would not be necessary, and that all the existing versions of the app will continue to connect successfully with the APN servers. The only necessary update would be the server connection between the APN servers and the server used to generate notifications, with a new token or certificate. Is my understanding correct?

window.safari.pushNotification.requestPermission() no longer works with Safari 17.3 on macOS 14.3
One Line Summary window.safari.pushNotification.requestPermission() is no longer showing a prompt to the user with Safari 17.3 on macOS 14.3 and it's callback fires as "denied". Why this is is important to fix Starting with Safari 16 for macOS 13 Apple introduced support for the standard Push API. However it is expected that the original Safari JS API window.safari.pushNotification should continue working, as many sites have not fully upgraded to the new API and Apple has not announced a deprecation. Environments NOT Working macOS 14.3 with Safari Version 17.3 (19617.2.4.11.8) macOS 14.4 Beta (23E5191e) with Safari Version 17.4 (19618.1.13.11.5) Working macOS 13.6.4 with Safari Version 17.3 (18617.2.4.11.11, 18617) MRE (minimal reproducible example) See the following site to quickly reproduce the issue noted here: https://public-mre-macos-window-safari-prompt-bug.glitch.me/

Some NSNotification.Name constants are missing when enabling C++ interoperability
When enabling direct C++ interoperability in Xcode, this simple code below NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(subjectAreaDidChange(_:)), name: .AVCaptureDeviceSubjectAreaDidChange, object: nil) gives me the following error Type 'NSNotification.Name?' has no member 'AVCaptureDeviceSubjectAreaDidChange' But if I switch C++ and Objective-C interoperability to just C / Objective-C then the code compiles without errors. The issue seems to affect NSNotification.Name constants only from AVFoundation framework (although there maybe more). Why do I get this error and how do I fix it?

Help migrating from .p12 to .p8
Prior to .p8 tokens, we were using .p12 cert for communication with APNS. We have since migrated to use .p8 token within our 3rd party push notification provider however, we still have the .p12 cert associated with our AppStore provisioning profile. Do we still need to maintain the .p12 cert to ensure the validity of the AppStore provisioning profile? Will revoking the .p12 cert result in inability for Apple to recognize that the app has push notifications enabled?

How to send Push without sound and indication on iOS
Hi, I need a feature in the iOS app that requires updating the user screen via FCM. In other words, I have to update it with no sound and screen display, but this doesn't work. When I remove the notification field, the notification will not be displayed to the user, but the sound will be played. If I remove the sound field, I can make no sound, but the user will be notified. If I remove both, I'm not getting this from the iOS app. How can I solve this?? Which option should I send Push from the server?? I'm also using Notification Service Extension.

getting push notifications delivered to iPhone simulator when CloudKit changes
I have a shopping list app that shares a list of Product records between users. The app on my phone shared its private database with another user account (running on a simulator) which accepted it. Both devices can see changes from the other if the device does a full refresh from iCloud. Now I want to have the app on the devices be notified when the other changes/adds/deletes a Product record. I did the following to get push notifications to work (but haven't been successful yet) I have enabled background fetch and remote notifications in my app capabilities. The app registers for remote notifications with UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications() and receives the didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken callback. The app sets a subscription with CKModifySubscriptionsOperation for the "Product" recordType. I set the QoS to .utility on the appropriate private or shared database. However, when I add a Product record on my record, the didReceiveRemoteNotification callback doesn't execute. What am I missing?

Unable to remove notification number in badge when enter app
Hi! I have recently added the functionality of notifications in my app. I can send notifications and I see them in my phone well. The problem is that even if I have no notifications, the badge shows I have 3 and I can not remove this notification when I read the notifications. What it is strange is that even if I send new notifications, the number 3 is still there...

Experiencing Duplicate Notifications Issue Recently
For a period of time, we have frequently received reports of users receiving duplicate message notifications. We can ensure that the message is only sent once and there is only one ApnsId, but when it reaches the device, there are multiple duplicate notifications (2-3) I suspect this may be related to iOS 17, as there seems to be some overlap in time. Have others encountered similar problems? We sincerely hope to receive help from society. Thank you for your help~

Cloud Kit Push Notifications User Opened Notification Metric
I am checking the Push Notification Console of Cloudkit to understand my apps push delivery metrics. There are nice metrics in there to see push sends and discards. But I couldn't see any metric to understand "How many of the users opened the notiifications I send". Is there any way me to understand this statistic? Also can we export this metrics without logging in to CloudKit like an API request?

UNNotificationContentExtension Rich Notification Play/Pause Button Not Changing State
In an iOS UNNotificationContentExtension with a media player, I have an AVPlayer which can either play a WAV or an MP4 remotely depending on the push payload userInfo dictionary. I have implemented mediaPlayPauseButtonFrame, mediaPlayPauseButtonTintColor, and mediaPlayPauseButtonType, have overridden canBecomeFirstResponder to force true, and set the view to becomeFirstResponder when the AVPlayer is added. I have implemented the UNNotificationContentExtension protocol's mediaPlay and mediaPause methods. I also have subscribed to the .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime (NS)Notification and I call a method on the VC when it returns, which calls mediaPause. When the AVPlayer reaches the end, the .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime Notification is properly emitted, my method is called, and mediaPause is called. However, the media play/pause button provided by UNNotificationContentExtension remains visibly in the "playing" state instead of changing to the "pause" state. The button correctly changes its display state when the user presses the play/pause button manually, so it works. And so, collective Obis Wan Kenobi, what am I doing wrong? I have tried resigning first responder, have no access to the button itself -- as far as I know -- and am wondering where to go next. (This is the only thing not working by the way.) Sanitized example: import UIKit import UserNotifications import UserNotificationsUI class NotificationViewController: UIViewController, UNNotificationContentExtension { // Constants private let viewModel = ... private var mediaPlayer: AVPlayer? private var mediaPlayerLayer: AVPlayerLayer? private var mediaPlayerItem: AVPlayerItem? { mediaPlayer?.currentItem } override var canBecomeFirstResponder: Bool { true } // MARK: - UNNotificationContentExtension var overrides var mediaPlayPauseButtonType: UNNotificationContentExtensionMediaPlayPauseButtonType { return .default } var mediaPlayPauseButtonFrame: CGRect { return CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 50.0, height: 50.0) } var mediaPlayPauseButtonTintColor: UIColor { return .blue } ... func didReceive(_ notification: UNNotification) { ... // Process userInfo for url } ... @MainActor func playAudio(from: URL) async { let mediaPlayer = AVPlayer(url: url) let mediaPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: audioPlayer) ... // view setup mediaPlayerLayer.frame = ... self.mediaPlayer = mediaPlayer self.mediaPlayerLayer = mediaPlayerLayer self.view.layer.addSublayer(mediaPlayerLayer) becomeFirstResponder() } // MARK: - UNNotificationContentExtension func mediaPlay() { mediaPlayer?.play() } func mediaPause() { mediaPlayer?.pause() } // MARK: - Utilities private func subscribe(to item: AVPlayerItem) { NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(playedToEnd), name: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: item) } @objc func playedToEnd(notification: NSNotification) { mediaPause() } }

Receive (Local) System Notifications
Hi. I would like my App to be notified when the phone rings. No, not CallKit-CallKit is for VoIP and does not cover Cellular connections (as of 2/26/24) but, thanks. To continue.. I understand ages-ago there was a Telephony Kit or Framework but, has been discontinued. Has it been replaced with something else? I would like something that seems very simple:a) when the phone rings my App is notified, b) when it stops ringing (combine all possibilities; sent to voicemail, user cancels, user answers) my App is notified. Yes, I understand UserNotifications can make things run but, as I understand it this feature is for the App to schedule notifications, not receive them? If you know of something in UserNotifications that I can leverage I would appreciate your input. Lacking other possibilities I find myself wondering about Siri integration. Siri is notified about system events and generates notifications based upon these events. Is there some way to place my App downstream from Siri and receive system notifications? Thanks everyone.

PushRegistry didReceiveIncomingPushWith is not invoked sometimes and the call doesn't happen
I have been having a problem in our application while handling the VoIP notifications. sometimes the didReceiveIncomingPushWith delegate function is invoked when a VoIP Notif is sent but when the call is accepted nothing happened from the caller's side, like the callback to the caller to notify him that the call is accepted doesn't happe. And sometimes the didReceiveIncomingPushWith is not even invoked when a VoIP notif is sent. here is a potion of the code. func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry, didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload, for type: PKPushType, completion: @escaping () -> Void) { NSLog("pushRegistry didReceiveIncomingPushWith() type:(type)") // Handle the push payload if let pushHashtable = payload.dictionaryPayload["aps"] as? [AnyHashable: Any] { if let pushMessage = pushHashtable["alert"] as? String { NSLog("push message=\(pushMessage)") } } if type == PKPushType.voIP { // Process the received push: if it is a VoIP push, this must be an incoming call because we deactivated push for REGISTER refresh from Kamailio server if SipService.instance?.currentCall != nil { // A call is already going on, ignore this VoIP push NSLog("pushRegistry - voip push, and we already have a currentCall: we already received the INVITE, or it is a voip push for another call -> let's ignore it") completion() return } // We want to send a REGISTER anyway to get the pending INVITE message. // Then, the incoming call will be notified in the SIP stack onCallNew(_ call: Call!) callback // Since iOS 13, it is mandatory to report an incoming call immediately after a Voip push // instead of waiting for the SIP INVITE (in EngineDelegate.onCallNew()) // See details here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/376630#376630 NSLog("pushRegistry - >= iOS 13 -> showing callkit before SIP INVITE") if let callerSipUri = payload.dictionaryPayload["caller-sip-uri"] as? String { NSLog("push caller-sip-uri=\(String(describing: callerSipUri))") SipUtils.findCallerName(fromSip: callerSipUri) { callerName in let customCallerName = (callerName ?? "Inconnu") + (CallKitService.instance?.CALLKIT_DEBUG_MODE == true ? " [PUSH]" : "") DispatchQueue.main.async { CallKitService.instance?.reportNewIncomingCallToCallKit(callerName: customCallerName) { completion() } } } } else { // That should not happen: Kamailio server is supposed to add the caller SIP URI in the VoIP push DispatchQueue.main.async { CallKitService.instance?.reportNewIncomingCallToCallKit(callerName: nil) { completion() } } } // No call is going on, so we want to take this call, so we want to send a REGISTER if needed SipNetworkMonitoring.instance.start() } else { NSLog("pushRegistry - not a VoIP push") completion() } } here is the reportNewIncomingCallToCallKit function implementation func reportNewIncomingCallToCallKit(callerName: String?, completion: @escaping () -> Void) { NSLog("Callkit - reportNewIncomingCallToCallKit from %@", callerName ?? "Inconnu") let update = CXCallUpdate() update.remoteHandle = CXHandle(type: .generic, value: callerName ?? "Inconnu") update.hasVideo = true // we may already have reported a new call to CallKit // (since iOS13, we must do it in the didReceiveIncomingPushWith() callback) // In this case, the CallKit UI is already showing with caller="Inconnu": we will update it with the caller name. if let currentUuid = currentUuid { NSLog("Callkit - already a CallKit call showing -> updating the existing call ...") self.cxProvider?.reportCall(with: currentUuid, updated: update) } else { NSLog("Callkit - now CallKit call showing -> new call ...") let newUuid = UUID() self.currentUuid = newUuid self.cxProvider?.reportNewIncomingCall(with: newUuid, update: update) { error in completion() } } // dont configure audioSession here, wait for the Callkit "didActivate audioSession" callback } just to clarify : findCallerName is a function to get the called name from a list from the Backend with an escaping closure, (I tried to overpass that function and just give a default name to the caller but still same problem) . ANY HELP PLEASE?

Voip Push Delay Issue
Hello, I am developing a service using Voip Push. Recently, it seems that Voip Push notifications are occasionally arriving late. Does anyone have information regarding this issue? Sometimes, when the delay is prolonged, notifications from a few days ago also seem to be received. Thank you.

When does the following command result in NotNow? (CertificateListCommand, InstallApplicationCommand, ManagedMediaListCommand)
We have observed that the following command causes NotNow: InstallProfileCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installprofilecommand) InstallProvisioningProfileCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installprovisioningprofilecommand) SecurityInfoCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/securityinfocommand) CertificateListCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/certificatelistcommand) InstallApplicationCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/installapplicationcommand) ManagedMediaListCommand(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/managedmedialistcommand) 1,2,3 becomes NotNow while the iOS device is locked. I don't know under what circumstances 4, 5, 6 become NotNow. Please tell me.
