iOS 10 notification problem

[acianti]

Dear @katzer,
we are using your plugin in hybrid app for a very important costumer and we have a problem with notification in iOS 10 GM using version 0.8.4.
The issues is not display the notification in iPhone devices.
Waiting for your new release that patch this issue I modified then plugin, following the indication present in the issues #1034.
I've created a new fork here: https://github.com/acianti/cordova-plugin-local-notifications, please refer to this to find details of modification done.
Can you please implement as soon as possible the above fix in the new version of plugin. Can you also please inform about possible date in which new plugin would be avaible?
Many thanks in advance for your support!
Best regards,
Andrea

Even I am facing the same issue. I am using Ionic and notifications are not getting scheduled for iOS 10. Do i need to use the new fork temporarily https://github.com/acianti/cordova-plugin-local-notification.?

[gaurangpatel]

I too facing same issue, working on ionic App with local notification.

any workaround to use deprecated UILocation or update in the plugin itself?

[spk0611]

@sumedh908 @gaurangpatel I have fixed the issue on iOS 10 and created the PR - #1093
Please have a look and let me know if that works.

[gaurangpatel]

Thanks @spk0611 ,

I changed the file APPLocalNotification.h and added framework 'UserNotifications', I am getting notification when exit from region but not at enter region.

Do I need to make any other changes besides these two?

May be issues is related to delay or execution time but not sure.

[lucbonnin]

@katzer any chance to have a clean release for ios 10 ?
As a ionic user i'm really blocked outthere :(

[smuaq]

Any updates on release on IOS 10?

[timelight]

I could find the fix in the ios branch and it seems to work well.

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10

[anuradhawick]

@timelight does this work well on android as well?

[sKuD51]

Hi,

I've updating my plugin but it doesn't work. I do this :
$timeout(function(){ cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({ title: "New Message", message: "Hi, are you ready? We are waiting." }); alert('timeout'); },5000);
I send just one notification after 5s app started.
What's wrong ? I'm using #ios10 update.
Thx !!!

[sKuD51]

Sorry but it doesn't work for me. I don't know why.
Here, my plugins list :
com.unarin.cordova.beacon 3.4.0 "Proximity Beacon Plugin"
cordova-plugin-app-event 1.2.0 "Application Events"
cordova-plugin-compat 1.0.0 "Compat"
cordova-plugin-device 1.1.3 "Device"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.0 "Whitelist"
de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification 0.8.4.1 "LocalNotification" -> downloaded from https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/LocalNotification.git
My app authorize Notification and I just send a test, there is nothing else.
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot .

[sKuD51]

@timelight it works for you ? do you have any example ? Thx.

[ddennis]

Hi i tried the version reference above by EddyVerbruggen, which hasent been merged yet. It works in my ionic app.

[sKuD51]

@ddennis do you have a sample code ? I can find the solution, it works on iOS9 but not on iOS10. It's incredible !! Thx

[ddennis]

@sKuD51 I removed the current version with:

cordova plugin rm add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

And install the telerik version from github:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/LocalNotification

[sKuD51]

@ddennis that's I've did :-(
I'm using cordova 6.1.1, cordova ios 4.1.2 and xcode 8.0

[ddennis]

@sKuD51 maybe the problem is in your client code

[sKuD51]

@ddennis Maybe, but I can understand why it works fine on iOS 9 and not on iOS10. I've the prompt windows and I click Allow, but that's all, I've no notification.
Thx.

[Tawpie]

@sKuD51: be sure to include a string id… id: ‘Testing’ or something similar as well as specify the you want the reminder to fire (the ‘at:’ option). Your code sample doesn’t reflect correct use of the API for the plugin. Here’s where you can find more information: https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/wiki/04.-Scheduling https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/wiki/04.-Scheduling

So,
I create a new simple project app : cordova create test2 com.test1.app test2 with cordova 6.1.1 and just add plugin : cordova plugin add https://github.com/acianti/cordova-plugin-local-notifications
Next, I add iOS platform : cordova platform add ios
Here are my logs :

And I run : cordova run ios
I see alert, prompt window, I allow notification, but there is no notification in list.
How can I do more simple like this ?

[Tawpie]

you still need to tell it when to fire the notification (the at: option)… like at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 10000)
And the id: MUST be a string, not an int.

@Tawpie I never used "at option", because I send notification on click (for example). And I've tried with String id => nothing .
I'm going crazy !!!

[Tawpie]

@sKuD51 I think that you’ll still need to specify at: because if you don’t provide a fire date/time the phone does not know when to trigger the notification.

Be sure to set the fire date far enough in the future so that the fire date doesn’t happen before the software has a chance to complete the actual scheduling with the phone’s operating system. Notifications scheduled in the past won’t fire. Scheduling a notification to fire a second or two into the future should be fairly immediate for the user.

Curious though, if you’re wanting to alert the user on-click, is it necessary to use the local notification mechanism?

@Tawpie In my app, I'm using notification with ibeacon plugin. When app is in background mode and user enter in a ibeacon region, app send a notification with ibeacon's enter message. This method worked very fine in iOS 9, 8, 7 ... and I repeat, I never used 'at' option, because I send notification in 'live' .
So, I don't understand the problem.
I thank you for yours advices.

[Tawpie]

I understand—that’s an entirely different use case than what I use. But if you can stand a delay of a second or two, you could try setting an at: time a couple seconds into the future.

I’m not sure of all the changes Apple made in iOS10, but something they did broke the way this plugin worked. Which tells me that in the OS something has changed, so what worked on iOS 7-9 may now be broken.

Good luck!

[sKuD51]

@Tawpie Thanks. iOS10 is really a p... of ch.. there are so many changes and some plugins doesn't work.

[lucbonnin]

FYI, the notification is working on the ios simulator (only in background mode, so get back to device home) but not on a real device :(
It is driving me crazy !

 cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
            id: 'ID-'+Date.now(),
            at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 10000),// now + 1s
            title: 'TEST',
            text: 'TEST content',
            badge: 666
        });

[sKuD51]

@lucbonnin I confirmed, notification is only displayed when app is in background, and I tested my app on real device, that's run.
And I confirm again, in my app, I use this plugin like this :
cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({ id : i, title : "My title", text : "My message", badge : i });
Where i is an integer that I increment if app displays more than one notification.
In other way, If found this example : https://swifting.io/blog/2016/08/22/23-notifications-in-ios-10/ but I don't know if we could adapt-it in this plugin. @katzer ?

[gurix]

I am using 10.2 (14C92). On the Simulator 10.2(15C89) I can hear a sound after 5 seconds, but nothing more.

[gurix]

Hi all. I found the issue. It seems that it is necessary to set the text attribute. I used only the title in the past.
This is working...

$cordovaLocalNotification.schedule({
  id: 666,
   title: 'Test',
   text: "Diese Mitteilung erscheint als Test nach 5 Sekunden.",
   at: _5_sec_from_now
});

This is no longer working...

$cordovaLocalNotification.schedule({
  id: 666,
  title: 'Test',
   at: _5_sec_from_now
});

[rwillett]

Would be good to know if that fixes the problem.

I'm just doing a build for the simiulator for 10.2.1 to try this out. We use the text: attribute anyway so we may never have noticed the issue.

Rob

[rwillett]

We've just tested this on 10.2 (14C89) and the same code we already use works for us.

We made no changes whatsoever for 10.2 (14C89), though we did already have a test attribute.

Rob

[suryakand]

Yes, I can confirm that this branch works on iOS 10.x
ionic plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10

Here is my code for ionic2:

1. Import "LocalNotifications"
   import { LocalNotifications } from 'ionic-native';

2. Setup delayed notification after 5 sec. (You can execute below code on a button click and send your app to background and notification will be triggered after 5 sec.)

   LocalNotifications.schedule({
   id: 1,
   title: "Test Title",
   text: "Delayed Notification",
   at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + (5 * 1000))
   });

[ammichael]

Well, I've started asking whether the problem was the plugin or even my phone. Maybe something corrupted or whatever.. But I've tried in simulator and I've got the same behavior:

I had similar code to test the notification as you, @suryakand, and the notification is triggered just for the first time. So the app asks for permission, I grant it, receive notification. When I reopen the app.. Nothing.

Dude, this is so frustrating!

[rwillett]

@ammichael

I think this thread is getting too confusing with too many people involved with too many different issues. I'd suggest you start a new clean thread with exactly what the problem is with as much information as possible. I wouldn't link to this thread but put all the information in the new issue and work from there.

I've tried to follow whats going on in this thread and have now given up and will no longer contribute to this thread as its so difficult to trace whats happening.

Rob

[faisalalfareza]

**

Notifications work in iOS 10

** , after and later :)

[ammichael]

@faisalalfareza for a moment it gave me hope ☹️

When I activated it in my xcode, I really though that maybe it was gonna be just that hahhaha

Well, nope. It behaves just like I mentioned in my op. Notifications fires just the first time the app opens, when the permissions are asked. I'm gonna run some more tests today and I'll try and find more clues of what is happening.

[billycomic]

@faisalalfareza that thread is centered around push notifications. This thread is centered around local notifications. They are actually two different sets of functionality and handled differently. Enabling push notifications through xcode has no affect on local notifications.

[ammichael]

@billycomic Hey, how have you handled the 64 notifications limit? I think my case is somewhat like yours, where users don't need/always return to the app.

I'm trying to schedule 480 notification, but I can't hahaha

[billycomic]

@ammichael Unfortunately, in my case, there is no work around. The 64 notification limit (and split that for each notification) makes it unusable in my use case. I had to make a change in behavior and provide a different code path for iOS only to use the Calendar Cordova Plugin and then I'm able to store repeaters and it actually adds some nice controls from a user standpoint.

I love the local notifications plugin, but unfortunately, iOS has cracked down on how they are used. Hope that gives you some direction.

[ammichael]

@billycomic That is really, really bad. If I split the notifications by the limit it would give me 4 days of notifications; far from being enough in my case.

I've taken a look at Calendar Plugin, but that won't be useful in my case.

Not sure what to do, to be honest ☹️

[RainierMallol]

I'm having troubles getting the plugin to work in iOS. I've installed the iOS10 branch, but the notifications don't appear on iOS10. Any recommendations?

[rwillett]

@RainierMallol

Please do not hijack threads. If you have a problem raise a new issue using the template in #1188 with code.

[pooja-shah]

I am able to send local notification , but issue is its not showing in notification center.Its just come and disappear. Any solution for this?

[testingfhcp]

Hi all
Now i am using https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10 and it works fine on simulator, i get notification when the app is running in background.
However, on the real device, i cannot receive notification in background. The notification arrive when i open the app.
Anyone have idea?
Thanks!

[rwillett]

@testingfhcp

Don't hijack threads. Raise a new issue using #1188.

[auryn31]

Hey Guys,
i do not get the notification work on ios 10
i use the plugin @testingfhcp recommended, (i think it does fire the notification in objective c) but i do not get any notification in my notificationcenter
did anyone can help me? :-(
here is my code to test the local notification
maybe the issue is there?

var now = new Date ();
var testdate = new Date (now);
testdate.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 1);
if (this.localNotifications.hasPermission()) {
this.localNotifications.schedule({
id: 4,
title: 'YEHA!',
text: 'Successfully sent a notification!',
at: testdate,
every: "second",
sound: null
});
this.notificationTest = "tried to trigger notification!";
} else {
let alert = this.alertCtrl.create({
title: 'Permissons',
subTitle: 'You do not have permission to send notification',
buttons: ['OK']
});
alert.present();
}

[Tawpie]

Try without "every". That option has known problems. And make sure you have the at time set into the future enough that the OS can finish secheduling and you have a chance to quit the app. As you know, by default iOS does not fire local notifications when your app is in the foreground.

[auryn31]

@Tawpie thank you so much :-)
i tried so much parameter during the original plugin and forgot to remove this one from this branch :-D
you are my rescue, it does work
thanks a lot
i think this parameter does make trouble because it is not a standard feature of ios

[jd0048]

when application is in background mode ios 10 local notification not working any help?

[testingfhcp]

I am new to ionic and mobile app, but for you guys reference.

i am using https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#ios10 with below code
LocalNotifications.schedule({
id: 1,
title: "",
text: "",
at: new Date(new Date().getTime() + (1 * 1000))
});

it works fine on ionic 2 with ios10.3.1 (14E304)

[rwillett]

@jd0048

Don't hijack other peoples issues. Raise a new one.

[katzer]

Please use 0.9-beta for iOS 10 and above. Thanks

[piotx]

Maybe this is a dump question. Is it possible to use 0.8 and 0.9-beta in the same app to support ios10+ and ios < 10? or what is the best way to support both older and newer ios versions?
