1 year ago Thank you for getting in touch. We are investigating this, it is not a general problem of Android users, it may be related to your specific device or the fact you had a previous version of polito students w/o notification already installed

1 year ago @lpezzolla I doubt that it's a device specific problem, since Google Pixel devices are basically running pure Android and do not have stuff that breaks notifications like chinese Android Roms like oxygen OS, MIUI, EMUI etc. Furthermore in the public group infopolito, there have been several reports about the misfunction of notifications. What I think is that the app doesn't show the banner to allow notifications to be shown, I haven't been using Android for a long time (since I used iPhones for years), but I have noticed that some apps do show a banner basically asking to show notifications that enables that setting I'm editing manually (maybe it's something specific to latest Android versions?), it could be possible that polito app doesn't do this, because I haven't seen it after fresh install

1 year ago This seems to be related to the newly introduced permission management for notifications in API 33, only affecting Android 13/14 users.

We will fix this in the upcoming weeks
Describe the bug Notifications by default are not working on Android, this bug is also present in the old app.
To Reproduce Do a fresh install of the app, wait for a notification I guess😂
Expected behavior Get notifications
Screenshots Not needed
Smartphone (please complete the following information):
Additional context A workaround for this is to go in system settings and enable notifications, at this point notifications work. Maybe the app has to request to use push notifications (?)
