πŸ› [firebase_messaging] getInitialMessage() Returns Null on iOS Only #12172

Closed kotaroyamazaki closed 6 months ago

kotaroyamazaki commented 7 months ago

Bug report

The getInitialMessage() method does not seem reliable, at least on iOS which I'm using for testing this.

I am encountering an issue where the getInitialMessage() is returning null exclusively on the iOS platform. This is causing a problem with handling messages from termination states on iOS devices.

Upon debugging, I found that getInitialMessage is returning null when called on an iOS device. Interestingly, the same function works as expected and processes messages correctly on Android devices.

Any insights or fixes for this iOS-specific behavior would be greatly appreciated.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Send a push notification to the device while the app is in the terminated state (not running in the background).
  2. Tap on the push notification to open the app.

Expected behavior

An iOS device receives a push notification while the app is in the terminated state, and the user taps on this notification to launch the app, getInitialMessage should not return null. Instead, it should correctly retrieve and process the message.

Sample project

class App extends ConsumerStatefulWidget {
  const App({Key? key, required this.initialRoute}) : super(key: key);

  final String initialRoute;

  @override
  createState() => _AppState();
}

class _AppState extends ConsumerState<App> {
  final FirebaseMessaging _firebaseMessaging = FirebaseMessaging.instance;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage().then((message) {
     // print some debug log for an initial message

      if (message != null) {
        _handleMessage(message);
      }
    });

    FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp.listen((RemoteMessage message) {
      _handleMessage(message);
    });
  }

  void _handleMessage(RemoteMessage message) {
    if (message.data["args"] != "") {
         // navigate
      }
  }
:
Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();
  :
}

Reproducible using the plugin example app.

On android, the message is resolved but on iOS it was not resolved.

Labeling for further investigation.

i am facing this issue as well even using delay on getinitialmessage not solve the problem at all

cyberfish-dev commented 6 months ago

same issue, everything works on IOS except the getInitialMessage call which always returns null for me, on android getInitialMessage works without issues.

firebase_core: ^2.12.0 firebase_messaging: ^14.6.1

thecodepapaya commented 6 months ago

Running into same problem. getInitialMessage is always null on iOS. Interestingly, onMessageOpenedApp is also always null when app is opened via fcm notification from background(not terminated) state. I'm able to handle background notifications via FirebaseMessaging.onBackgroundMessage but there's no fix or workaround for FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage.

I'm running on latest dependencies as of this comment.

I've tried sending push notifications both via the script from examples folder and via postman. I'm able to replicate the behaviour on both the cases.

himanshupapreja commented 6 months ago

Hi Is there any solution for this?

himanshupapreja commented 6 months ago

.@russellwheatley @danagbemava-nc Please let us know when this issue will be resolved. No buddy is assign on this issue?

russellwheatley commented 6 months ago

I just tested this in the example app, it works. getInitialMessage() will only resolve to a RemoteMessage from a terminated state.

To test locally:

  1. run app in release mode, that way, when the app is terminated, you don't lose connection. Put a print() in here: https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/blob/master/packages/firebase_messaging/firebase_messaging/example/lib/main.dart#L184
  2. Swipe closed the app (i.e. terminated state).
  3. Send notification to device
  4. Press notification which opens the app, getInitialMessage() resolves to a RemoteMessage.
cyberfish-dev commented 6 months ago

@russellwheatley thanks a lot! I will check the example app, do you think that the sequence of calls to Firebase could cause the issues? The weird thing, for me everything works on Android and I can see data in the getInitialMessage, but it does not work for IOS, I have put getInitialMessage call after the FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp.listen and after FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen, anyways thanks a lot I will try putting the call before and let you know if this solves the problem for me

thecodepapaya commented 6 months ago

Hi @russellwheatley can you please confirm details like iOS version, package version and flutter version? Because I'm still able to reproduce this using the proposed changes in https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/pull/12371 and I'm running on the latest version of firebase_messaging.
