[FR] Guideline for sending web push notifications to iOS 16.4 devices with Firbase #779

Open leolux opened 1 year ago

leolux commented 1 year ago

I like to use Firebase to send a "hello push" notification to an iPhone running iOS 16.4 which supports the Web Push API.

Key questions are:

Do we need to be member of the Apple Developer Program for this feature? I guess not, but any advice is appreciated
Will Firebase forward the web push notification to apple automatically the way it does for Android devices or do we need to setup APNs manually?
Where to read on how to leverage iOS 16.4 web push support with Firebase?

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hey @chong-shao, do you have any guidelines on this? Thank you!

I have just got an answer from a Firebase support member: "We're investigating whether this also impacts Firebase Cloud Messaging's ability to deliver to devices with this version."

Please help us to bring some light into the topic:: iOS 16.4 web push notifications with Firebase FCM.

Hi @leolux We tested the on macOS & iOS Safari on versions that support the Push API. Should work. We followed https://webkit.org/blog/13878/web-push-for-web-apps-on-ios-and-ipados/ Please give it a shot. couple things to note: 1. make sure push API is enabled on your browser instance (I believe the beta has it default to be off) 2. make sure your web app configs "display: standalone" in its json manifest file

@zwu52 @leolux @lahirumaramba Did you have any success sending push to iOS 16.4 using firebase? can u help me? My situation is as follows:

firebase admin version: 9.1.1 iOS version: 16.4 browser: Chrome

My test code and results are shown below:

The result shows that the send was successful, but the iPhone did not receive the push notification.Tried many times and really don't know what to do.Ask for help!

Tips: the same delivery method (same code, same certificate) but with a different device to open the web page was tried with the following results:

Android mobile -> send success & received success.
Windows -> send success & received success.
MacOS -> send success & received success.
iOS 16.4 -> send success & received fail.

To add to this; using the subscription info, that is sent to firebase, directly with for example the web-push lib works, but sending to the FCM id returned for the subscription doesn't work.
