Notification not receiving in foreground on IOS

[viksat7]

Thanks for the great plugin and being so responsive to the community,

installed 5.1.0 version of the plugin but below problem still persists in my app

1. Notification is not displayed in both IOS & Android when app is in Foreground
2. Notification is displayed in both IOS & Android in Background but only Android onNotification method is invoked but IOS doesn't invokes onNotification even in both foreground and background state

Tried with Legacy build, getting no error when notification is pushed or any breakpoint is getting debugged in Xcode on didReceiveRemoteNotification & didReceiveNotificationResponse method (file : AppDelegate+FCMPlugin.m)

If there are any other plugin in my app causing the notification not getting displayed in foreground app or am I missing something in payload json of notification?

For Android, as you described, as long as the onNotification is called when the app, that was on the background, comes to the foreground because of the notification tapping, it is working as intended.
This way, when the app is on the foreground, you can stylize the message however you want. Like a in app popup or, for example, with https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications.

For iOS, thought, it should be reaching onNotification when on foreground or when the notification is tapped. For the iOS issue, I'll investigate.

Thanks for the time & for the reply, yes for the android i am using cordova-plugin-local-notification to show notification on foreground since onNotification is working on android both foreground and background

For iOS, my requirement is at-least update the badge when Notification is been received when app is in foreground state hence onNotification should work

[keithj87]

I am seeing the same behavior. It works fine for Android, but not for iOS. I am also looking to trigger local notifications in my iOS app. The local notifications are working fine, when my app is in the foreground, on Android, but nothing is triggered on iOS.

@viksat7

The badge-specific issue is addressed as #58

[andrehtissot]

@viksat7 Which version of xcode and xcodebuild are you using to build?

[andrehtissot]

Could @keithj87 or @viksat7 create a hello world app, of which can be shared here on github? Of which you experience the same issue?

[viksat7]

ok sure give me a day or two as i am busy with work today, will share the github repo of a sample app

[andrehtissot]

Issue closed due to inactivity and newer fixes addressing the feature being released in the mean time.

Foreground notification still does not work on iOS. Working fine on android.
This happens when I have LocalNotification plugin installed.

if localNotification plugin is uninstalled then the code to handle notification works.
Please look into this.

[andrehtissot]

I'll, thank you @meghanadixit1. Knowing this helps a lot.

[andrehtissot]

@meghanadixit1 which version of LocalNotification you were installing?

[andrehtissot]

@meghanadixit1 @viksat7 @keithj87
I have good news. The issue was that this plugin and cordova-plugin-local-notifications were trying to set themselves as the one NotificationCenterDelegate handler.

Now there is a mechanic in place that shares this resource between with other plugins.
Released as v6.4.2, or if you feel adventurous, v7.0.0-beta.1 (for Promise returns and ionic support).

Let me know if upgrading is not enough to fix the issue.
