Not working on iOS 9

[jcesarmobile]

Expected Behaviour

To work on iOS 9 or to be documented that it doesn't work on iOS 9

Actual Behaviour

Doesn't work on iOS 9 (not even ask for push permission)

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Current master uses UNUserNotificationCenter, which is only available for iOS 10+, but doesn't seem to have code for older versions. Cordova still supports iOS 9, so I expect the plugin to also support it or at least document that it doesn't.

Steps to Reproduce

Use this sample app but with master version of the plugin and run on iOS 9 device https://github.com/jcesarmobile/phonegap-plugin-push-sample

Platform and Version (eg. Android 5.0 or iOS 9.2.1)

iOS 9

(Android) What device vendor (e.g. Samsung, HTC, Sony...)

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

cordova --version                                   8.0.0
cordova platform version ios                    4.5.4

Plugin version

current master (appears as 2.2.3)

Sample Push Data Payload

@jcesarmobile Yeah, the latest commits to master will end up in a 3.0.0 version because of the iOS 10+ requirement. I'll branch off a v2.x off of the last 2.2.3 commit in case we need to do bug fixes. Supporting iOS 10, 11 and soon 12 should be good enough.

@macdonst what version of the plugin do we need to be using in order to support iOS 9? My testers are reporting that my app fails to even install on iOS9 so I am wondering if this plugin is the issue?

Using version 2.2.3 with Cordova-IOS 4.5.5 (an Ionic app)

We used version 1 of the Plugin originally but because we migrated from GCM to FCM on the Android side we need to use version 2. We still use APNS on the iOS side - should version 2 of the plugin support iOS9 ?

[jcesarmobile]

@richardshergold plugin is going to remove iOS 9 support on 3.x.x version, latest released version is still compatible. Anyway, if the app fails to install, it's not the plugins fault, changes in code can't cause that.

@macdonst I just found our install problem had nothing to do with the plugin as an app without the plugin would not install either. However, I would like conformation of whether version 2.2.3 of the plugin does support iOS 9? thanks

Thanks @jcesarmobile that's good to know.

Was this ever resolved?

[jcesarmobile]

3.x is not released yet, but won’t support iOS 9. 2.x works fine, so there is nothing to resolve, other than documenting that iOS 9 is not supported before doing the release
