Current public release of the app on iOS does not contain the Critical Alerts API #10

Just a quick one regarding the notification system currently in place for the app, although as of current the notifications are fine, they can be further improved by incorporating this API into the app, I myself find at times I have my phone on silent most of the time when out and about so being able to get notified regardless of device setting is a positive addition to the app.

As of current my app on my iPhone incorporates Critical Alerts API, but as a workaround only because the device is MDM Managed with a specific device profile enabling this enhanced notification system.

Please consider adding it natively to the app.

The entitlement is only available via expressing interest to the developer https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/notifications-critical-alerts-entitlement/
