ios notification not received but sent from api successfully.

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

Hi,

Following are the versions:

react: 16.0.0-alpha.6, react-native: 0.44.0, react-native-fcm: ^7.2.0,

I have tested on iphone 6 ios 10.3.2

Following is the code in appdelegate.m:

#import "RNFIRMessaging.h"
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  [FIRApp configure];
  [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] setDelegate:self];

  NSURL *jsCodeLocation;

  jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil];

  RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                      moduleName:@"high_furtados_appv2"
                                               initialProperties:nil
                                                   launchOptions:launchOptions];
  rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1];

  self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
  UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
  rootViewController.view = rootView;
  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
  return YES;
}

- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions))completionHandler
{
  NSLog(@"willPresentNotification %@",notification);
  [RNFIRMessaging willPresentNotification:notification withCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
}
- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response withCompletionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler
{
  NSLog(@"didReceiveNotificationResponse %@",response);
  [RNFIRMessaging didReceiveNotificationResponse:response withCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
}

    NSLog(@"didReceiveRemoteNotification %@",userInfo);
    [RNFIRMessaging didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
}

//You can skip this method if you don't want to use local notification
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
    [RNFIRMessaging didReceiveLocalNotification:notification];
}

Following is the code in react-native project:

FCM.requestPermissions();
FCM.subscribeToTopic('all');
FCM.getFCMToken().then(token => {
            console.log('getFCMToken :::: ', token);
            // store fcm token in your server
            if (token) {
                global.pushToken = token
            }
            console.log('getFCMToken global.pushToken ::: ', global.pushToken);
 });
this.notificationListener = FCM.on(FCMEvent.Notification, async (notif) => {
            console.log('notificationListener notif ::: ', notif);
            let notificationIos = typeof notif == 'string' ? JSON.parse(notif) : notif;
            let notificationIosBody = {};
            try {
                notificationIosBody = notificationIos.notification.body;
            } catch (e) {
                try {
                    notificationIosBody = notificationIos.aps.alert.body;
                } catch (e) {
                    console.log("Format Error!");
                }
            }

            // there are two parts of notif. notif.notification contains the notification payload, notif.data contains data payload
            if (notif.local_notification) {
                //this is a local notification
            }
            if (notif.opened_from_tray) {
                //app is open/resumed because user clicked banner
                console.log('notificationListener notif.opened_from_tray ::: ', notif);
                if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
                    if (notificationIosBody) {

                            ]);
                    }
                }
            }

            if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
                 if (notificationIosBody) {
                    Alert.alert('Notification', notificationIosBody,

                        ]);

                        [
                            { text: 'OK', onPress: () => { } },
                        ]);
                }
            }
        });
this.refreshTokenListener = FCM.on(FCMEvent.RefreshToken, (token) => {
            console.log('refreshTokenListener ::: ', token);
            // fcm token may not be available on first load, catch it here
            if (token) {
                global.pushToken = token
            }
            console.log('refreshTokenListener global.pushToken ::: ', global.pushToken);
        });

I have added all the packages as mentioned in readme file for nonpod configuration.

I am not getting any logs which are added in appdelegate.m file.

The notifications are not getting received in ios only when app is open and also when app is closed or in background.

I have also added following in info.plist:

<key>FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled</key>
    <false/>

[guns2410]

+1 Having same issue

[luisfuertes]

Here @evollu said that FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled must be on YES, can you check it with YES value?

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

@luisfuertes Earlier the FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled entry was not there in info.plist and what i read was by default if the entry is not there the value is YES. At that time also the notifications were not getting received. So i tried by setting it as No as someone suggested on stackoverflow. @evollu Can you please help me out with this weird issue.

[evollu]

It could be payload being invalid. Is notification callback getting called? FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled needs to be YES to make FCM hook on iOS's notification events

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

@evollu Thanks for replying. We have actually created new project with RN 0.44 as we want to upgrade react-native from 0.34 to 0.44, the old react-native project is still working and the notifications works fine in the old source code on IOS. Its this new project which is having problems in ios, as android notifications are received properly. The backend code is same as the notifications getting triggered on api calls.

[luisfuertes]

Im having the same issue too.

With old build of my app with react-native-fcm 6.2.3 it works, i understand all firebase console config its ok.

But yesterday i update react-native-fcm to v7.5.1, did pod update add FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled = NO on plist and now push donesnt work...

My versions now: "react-native-fcm": "7.5.1" "react-native": "0.43.3"

Maybe pod update install a firebase-sdk too recent for version 7.5.1 of react-native-fcm?

[evollu]

try reregister the device? could FCM token get changed? I'm using RN 0.44 as well and thing looks fine to be. Will test with latest firebase SDK later but it shouldn't matter

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

@evollu Ok Will try that thing also, But what i did to test was took the push token i received in ios app and went to firebase console and tried to test notification using token, but still the notification was not received but was send successfully from firebase console.

[evollu]

BTW, you can update to 9.1.0. It should be compatible with 0.44. Mind the breaking change of sound though

[luisfuertes]

And with 0.43.3?

[evollu]

yes

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

@evollu Ok will try and get back to you on same.

[luisfuertes]

Ok im trying with v9.1.0 and did pod update again.

FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled must be setted to YES or NO?

[evollu]

keep it YES

[luisfuertes]

Not works for me, push fail on firebase console

[evollu]

I think fails means firebase failed to push, rather than the device failed to handle. try uninstall the app and reinstall?

[luisfuertes]

Ye but yesterday all works, dont know whyit fail now, i will try with old build of my app with v6.2.3. Same firebase console config. I think it will work

[luisfuertes]

Yes, it works with old build, same firebase console config :(

[luisfuertes]

Ok now im trying on iPad.

In firebase console push set as sent, but dont received it on iPad

I add breakpoints in xcode in all fcm functions with app open, and no function is called when i send a push from firebase console (and marked as success)

[evollu]

let me verify on my device

[luisfuertes]

I delete ios Pods folder and Podfile, reinstall pods and now all notif fail on firebase console , but project compile and device give FCM token

[evollu]

so it has to do with FCM SDK?

[luisfuertes]

who knows

[luisfuertes]

I delete all pods config, generate new app certificates and install react-native-fcm@9.1.0 and now all works fine...

Old build only works with old certificate, and new app with new certificate, the bundle id is the same and dont know why it happens

Thanks for support @evollu

[evollu]

certificate you mean the json object download from firebase console right?

[evollu]

@niranjan-b-prajapati let me know if @luisfuertes 's finding works for you

[luisfuertes]

Not, certificate the .p12 file, ios push certificate on firebase console project config. Dont know why the old certificate doesnt works with news builds.

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

@evollu sorry yesterday couldn't work on it as there was no electricity i will try it now, @luisfuertes New certificates means ? only apns ceritifcate or ?development, distribution certificate also from apple developer console ? Please enlighten me on the certificate thing till then will update reac-native-fcm to 9.1.0

[luisfuertes]

I update push dev and push prod p12 certificate, reinstall FirebaseMessaging pod and install react-native-fcm 9.1.0 with same config and all works ok now

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

the ios certificate on firebase console what we add .p12 file is exported from apns certificate installed on our system. So do we need to create new apns certificate and change that ? Also there is some keys section available in developer apple console should we use that ? And will changing new apns keys will affect the existing users who are using apps on old source code as they will be getting updates soon of new app build with new react-native source codes. @evollu @luisfuertes please put some light on this.

[evollu]

if it is .12 related, it shouldn't affect existing user. it is more of Firebase-APNS communication getting impacted

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

so if i create key instead of apns certificate and use in app it will not affect existing users ? Can you please explain " it is more of Firebase-APNS communication getting impacted" thing.

[evollu]

hmm..forget about it. Perhaps you need to test that.

[niranjan-b-prajapati]

Ok I am using firebase 4.0.4 sdk files do i need to update them to latest version available ?

[jaysig]

Any updates on this? I have followed all of the instructions, but I can never get a notification to appear. It does send from the API though.

[olieidel]

Here are my findings so far: iOS 10.3.3, RN 0.46.4

• When sending a push notification, FCM HTTP API returns success
• Sending from the Firebase web interface also returns success
• No notification callback is called on client
• Most likely, the message never arrives on the client
• Resetting APN key or .p12 certificates in Firebase doesn't help
• On the client, requesting token works, deleting instance id works, refreshing token works (returns a new (different) token)

Update (see below):

• Implementing PushNotificationIOS and sending directly via APNs also returns success but same result (no message on client)

My best guess would be that there is a server-side problem between the Firebase and with the APN servers.

This may be related: https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios/issues/273

[olieidel]

Quick Update: I implemented React Natives PushNotificationIOS for my app and it has the same problem! I am getting a token but not receiving any messages. Even weirder, my older version with firebase (in production) works - but not in development. I suspect it is some certificate-related issue and has nothing to do with this package.

[natashache]

I'm having the similar issue. I'm able to get device token from my app. Sending messages from both node.js backend and from firebase notifications console indicates that message has been sent successfully. But it doesn't show up on the mobile app. App capacities, etc have been configured exactly as in the readme of react-native-fcm.

And the strange part is that it was working yesterday. But not today. And I haven't changed anything in the app. So frustrated right now!

[olieidel]

@natashache this really does sound like a backend problem on the side of Apple. I just reverted to a commit in my project which worked yesterday and it doesn't work any more! I hope this is one of those problems which fix themselves over night..

[natashache]

@olieidel will let you know if it fixes itself. Though I'm getting messages from other apps with no problem. If someone has insight on this, please share.

[vrgimael]

I had the same problem but this morning I received all my delayed test notifications together (they had the correct timestamp though) and now notifications seem to be working fine again. Anyone else?

[natashache]

Just tried again. Still not receiving messages :(

[olieidel]

@natashache it's working for me again, too. I filed a bug report with Apple and 2 hours later it was resolved (probably unrelated though, haha).

[natashache]

I have followed this guide to debug https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/01/debugging-firebase-cloud-messaging-on.html. I made a curl call directly through APNs and the notification showed up on my phone with no problem.

But when I made a curl call through FCM, I was not able to get the message on phone, though the response from firebase said the message had been sent and I didn't get any error messages. Here's the response: {"multicast_id":5824867483593933267,"success":1,"failure":0,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"message_id":"0:1504535298633785%0007825f0007825f"}]}

I again tried sending messages via firebase notification console. Still no dice. But the console says message has been sent successfully.

[evollu]

@natashache can you verify that p12 file is correct? also can you show your payload? invalid payload will result notification not showing

[natashache]

@evollu I'm using APNs authentication key, not p12 file.

The curl command:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: key=AU...the rest of your server key...s38txvmxME-W1N4" \
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send \
-d '{"notification": {"body": "Hello from curl via FCM!", "sound": "default"},
"priority": "high",
"to": "gJHcrfzW2Y:APA91...the rest of your FCM token...-JgS70Jm"}'

As you can see the payload is nothing special.

Also tried sending with notification console.

It was working two days ago and then stopped working. Haven't changed a thing.

[evollu]

try include a title? .p12 file is used by FCM so try upload that file in firebase console again?

[aditya27dev]

@niranjan-b-prajapati I am getting Failed to grant permission with request permission. Did you manage to do that? If yes, please let me know how.

Thanks
