Silent push notification not working iOS 13

Answer 1

Quick Fix Solution:

If you are facing issue to receive push notification on iOS version 13.2.X, then do below change in device settings and check again:

Device > Settings > Search your AppName > Notifications > Banner Style > Change it to "Persistent" from "Temporary" or vise-versa one time.

Now send push notification again and its start receiving.

Answer 2

Prior to iOS 13 I had an issue of not receiving push notifications because I didn't select in XCode - Signing and Capabilities -> Background Modes -> Background Fetch. After I selected it everything worked fine. After iOS 13 I have the same issue of not receiving push notifications anymore. Today I saw that in XCode the Background Fetch option was unselected again. Maybe something happened after the update of the XCode??

I haven't test it yet. Check if this is a solution for you.

Example Firebase push body

{
  "topic": "topic_test",
  "message": {
    "data": {
      "key": "some_value"
    },
    "notification": {
      "body": "description ~",
      "title": "title !"
    }
  },
  "options": {
    "mutableContent": true,
    "contentAvailable": true,
    "apnsPushType": "background"
  }
}

Answer 4

Maybe its pattern of iOS13 bug or updates, This will be work for iOS12 & iOS13

{
"to":"",
"priority":"high",
"content_available":true,
"data":{
    "abc":"abc"
    },
"notification":{
    "body":"abc"
    }
}

Or

{
"to":"",
"priority":"high",
"content_available":true,
"data":{
    "abc":"abc"
    }
}

Answer 5

If the delegate didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken triggering failed, try changing the network. I changed it to cellular data & it started working again

Also, if you used your internet connection in the MAC to share using USB. Turn it off & connect your IPhone with a normal wifi or mobile data.

Answer 6

Hope you add Notification delegate and other method

So first can you try with postman using this below link

https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send

In postman header 1). Authorization = key="Add Firebase server key" 2). Content-Type = application/json

In postman body as row

{ "to" : "Your iPhone Device FCM Toen", "notification" : { "body" : "Body of Your Notification", "title": "Title of Your Notification", "sound": "default", "alert":"New" }, "priority": "high", "contentAvailable": true, "data" : { "body" : "Body of Your Notification in Data", "title": "Title of Your Notification in Title", "key_1" : "Value for key_1", "key_2" : "Value for key_2", } }

First try using postman with above example and check in iOS 13

Answer 7

Could be to do with the way the push token gets pulled out of the Data object. I'm not super familiar with Firebase push notifications, but if you have to pass the push token to Firebase, you may need to change the way you get the token. If Firebase has an SDK that handles this, you may need to update it.

OneSignal talk about the change here.

Answer 8

I had the same issue after updating my Pods. As of Version 6.18.0:

Deprecated FCM direct channel messaging via shouldEstablishDirectChannel. Instead, use APNs for downstream message delivery. Add content_available key to your payload if you want to continue use legacy APIs, but we strongly recommend HTTP v1 API as it provides full APNs support. The deprecated API will be removed in Firebase 7 (#4710)." Release notes.

In my AppDelegate I commented out 2 lines of code:

func connectToFCM() {
//        Messaging.messaging().shouldEstablishDirectChannel = true
    }

func disconnectFCM() {
//        Messaging.messaging().shouldEstablishDirectChannel = false
    }

Everything seemed to be working when I would send a notification to my device using it's device token. However, after uploading my update to the App Store I was seeing

I re-downloaded the GoogleService-Info.plist from Firebase and compared it to what was already in my xcworkspace. The GOOGLE_APP_ID had changed. So, replacing the .plist fixed it. I’m not sure why the info in the .plist would change. Hope this helps.

ps- current Pods are 6.23.0
