iOS: UI not updating properly

[binwiederhier]

iOS 15.4.1
iPhone SE (2nd generation)

"As far as I can see - most things work as expected, but when the app is already open and is foreground - I can see push notification appear, but app not updates most of the time. Also when I open app from notification it sometime does not update and show latest messages. The screenshot is depicting such situation - the push notification on the top of the screen is actually 4th massage, but app UI still stuck at 3"

See #4 (comment)

Similar behaviour is seen on iPhone 6s, iOS 15.1.
The notification appears in the notification center but does not appear in-app. This can however be fixed by reloading the topic page.

I don't know the reason for why it's happening, but it seems like a solvable issue. It's quite tricky actually, because the notification is saved from the notification app extension, which is a different process than the main app, so we have to notify the main app and then update the views. The way I did manage to do that on my iPhone was a hack and could easily be a race condition that just happens to work on my device.

I'll figure it out...

I think this is fixed by binwiederhier/ntfy-ios@9060af5, but I won't be able to confirm it until I do another build and people an try it out.

I believe this is fixed in 1.1, see #4 to test the new version. Closing this for now until I hear more issues with this.

This is not fixed. It's still happening in the wild. Sometimes even on my iPhone 7. I am completely clueless as to why

Just wanted to confirm that this is still an open bug.

On an iPhone 12 pro, iOS 16.3.1.

I receive notifications but can't view any of the messages in the topic, regardless of however many times I refresh (pulling down on the topic).

Same as above. I get a generic 'New notification' on SOME (not all) topics and messages. When I click on the notification, it takes me to the home screen, but not to the topic that it was about. If I attempt to refresh the topic, the message will never show up. I can verify that the message is sent through Desktop. iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS 16.5 and self-hosted.

Hello,

I can confirm having this issue too with my iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 14.4.1.
Sometime it works when I receive the notification, when I click on it, it does take me to the app where the notification is showing without a manual refresh. But sometime it doesn't work without a manual refresh. If I'm already inside the app ui, and a new notification arrives, it doesn't reflect the new notification. I hope it can be fixed to make the functionality more consistent.

Thanks.
