silent notifications don't work on ios 13 #2956

rogerkerse · 2019-12-02T15:19:39Z

Issue

Sending silent notifications to iOS 13 device doesn't work. I have code that worked on ios12 and it used rn-firebase v5. Now that I build it on iOS 13 it doen't work. Tried upgrading to rn-firebase v6 but still the same issue. getToken() method gives push notification token, but when message is sent, it arrives on Android but not on iOS.

const granted = await messaging().requestPermission();
const notificationToken = await messaging().getToken();

So in all cases (iOS 12, iOS 13, Android) I get token. When I send out notification, iOS 13 is the only one who doesn't receive it with messaging().onMessage((data) => console.log(data))

firebase.messaging().onMessage((message: RemoteMessage) not called on ios 13 (versions tested: 13.1.3, 13.2.1, 13.2.3).

I managed to get it working with a weird workaround. This definitely should not be the case or solution.

In 'AppDelegate.m' I write

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [application registerForRemoteNotifications]; // <---- ADD THIS
    ...
}

And in JavaScript I only need to do this

const notificationToken = await messaging().getToken(); // <-- Gives me token

Without XCode part getToken() function fails with an error. await messaging().registerForRemoteNotifications() nor await messaging().requestPermission() in JavaScript help. AppDelegate.m change is the only thing that makes it work.

I can receive notification while app in background or killed, but not in foreground. All was working until i updated to ios 13. Anyfix to this?

This works for me too.
